My first reaction is to blame it on bad journalism and ineptness, let’s face it, coming from a station who has a long standing anchor resigning because she just realized she is grumpy and grouchy and another station that is more concerned about photo-ops with the mayor at their company Christmas party we shouldn’t be too surprised.
First, Sammi starts it off with her bad math skills;
The later start also means pushing the end of school back. The last day of school this year is May 14th.
With the new proposal, it would be nearly a month later on June 2nd.
Not sure what math classes Sammi took in college, but last I checked a month is between 28-31 days. The difference between 5/14 and 6/2 is 19 days, about 11 days short of a month. But nice try skewing the topic.
Let’s move on to the Grouchy Nancy station.
Contrary to popular belief, this group is completely student run, other than a mentor needed to oversee the students. Students are not given extra credit to join the group or vote in the election. These ideas and opinions are all student based and are what the students want.
Ah nice work (wink, nod, nod, SF School District Attorney Sue Simons) yeah, not one single teacher or administrator, or PR person has spent ANY time during instructional time on school property helping these students, because see that would violate state law, and let’s just take their word for it. But why would KSFGrouchy spend anytime actually investigating if what the students are saying is true? Because that would take being an actual journalist instead just a microphone stand.
UPDATE: Apparently the RHS Super or Principal (not sure which one) tricked the reporter and said he would do an interview with KSFY and when they showed up to the school he refused to do the interview because it was about the legality of the teachers and administrators getting involved with the campaign. I will give KSFY at least an ‘A’ for effort, but they should not have aired the story at all.
The MSM is no more (but probably less) biased to any blogger on any story.
I have never noticed Nancy being grouchy. What she did say was she was moving back to her home town to be with something along the “love of her life.” She did make a comment similar to that she was going to be happy. I don’t agree with any of the women that think they need a man in their life to be happy, but I have known several that think that way. All in all I hope her wishes come true. Actually over the last few years I think all of the media is really awful. They all want to first at reporting something and most of the time in their rush don’t get everything right.
Joan, Nancy said in an Argus interview she was become a grumpy/grouchy lady.
I must have missed that. I have got to the point as repetitious as the news is all the time, I listen one time and don’t pay any attention until later on. What I heard was on the early morning show, the day it was announced that she was leaving.
