If You Thought Radio Was Bad

Take a look at the brutality in local TV news, where dozens of WBZ-TV staffers have been shown the door.
UPDATE: similar layoffs hit WBZ sister outlet KPIX-5 in San Francisco, veteran reporters are among those getting whacked.
UPDATE: WBZ was in fact hit harder than other CBS stations, according to the network itself.

cripes.
see, this is why i always diddle my boss(es)
then i am innocculated from being fired since the threat of suit is in the air
course, i always manage to get hurt as the slimeballs slink back to their wives and precious kiddies… spineless weasels
maybe i should target non-married bosses?

The sad thing is that some very good and talented people are now out looking for work while someone like the immature reporter David Robichaud (His friends call him ‘Robie’) continues to make a total laughing stock out of himself. And let’s not forget the one-man-band named Bob Lobel. There must be friction at WBZ since the cuts are coming from behind the camera instead of in front of it.

Well, I guess they didn’t forget Bob Lobel. Apparently, he’s gone…along with Joyce K and Scott Wahle. The former I liked; the latter I didn’t.
