Post of the Week

Anonymous said...
The new Trog's last post was pathetic and very rehashed. It would seem to be the same comment made in a much earlier post to the "comments" section of the real Trog's blog. That comment was diced and sliced to death by other posters.New Trog: If you can't come up with something original, put this blog out of its misery and shut it down. At least the old Trog had some NEW news for the media-critic audience!

Post of the Week

Channel 4 does seem to send the "appropriate" person to cover things. Did you see that pkg about Kevin Everett monday? They sent some black dude, who I've never seen before, to cover the story. Maybe channel 4 thinks it's a language thing. Let's send the spanish speakers to cover mexican day and let's send the ebonics speaker to port arthur.

Post Something of Substance

please post something of substance


That post should be directed to those who post on this blog. The interesting stuff has always been from those who post responses or completely new posts. All Trog did was banter and bullshit.

If you want a few observations from me, this is all I have from last night’s news.

KFDM is still dealing with the ongoing problems caused by its new robots. Mic clips, wrong cameras, even a split box on top of the anchor’s one shot. The rookie anchor seemed to handle it well.

KBTV’s graphics person should learn that the Battle of Sabine Pass did not happen in Beaumont as the CG implied. Here’s a hint: It’s called the Battle of Sabine Pass. By the way, sending Garza and San Juan to Mexican Heritage day seems a little like race baiting. San Juan wearing a sombrero? Isn’t he Cuban?

KBMT was a no-show. I guess a car racing preview is more important than news.

There was an accidental death this weekend that no one reported. I wonder how long it will take a newsroom today to discover it. Maybe it will make the news Monday. Does it always take a press release for area news agencies to “uncover” something?

Are we going to see a big deal made out of Monday’s “Tax Hearing” in Jefferson County? I can’t wait until Monday’s news. Will our talking heads “report” that the average person in Jefferson County actually has a voice that matters? We’ll see.

What is going to be the “big” story on Monday?

Protecting the Ignorant

It would appear that some moron has been posting social security numbers and other personal stuff on this blog.

Is posting an asinine comment really worth a federal offense?

I guess the comment moderation will have to begin to protect the ignorant.

Poor Trog

It seems Trog is upset because someone kicked his butt off of his/her own blog.

Tough Crap Trog!

For the last year you have acted as if you are some expert on the media. You have downed media people. You have made unsubstantiated claims about those who work in the news industry.

Your own stupidity allowed me to take control of your blog.

If you don’t like it, take me to court. Of course that would require you to reveal your identity.

Trog, you are a panty-waste and you don’t have the balls to reveal your identity. If Jim Walker wasn’t a gentleman you would have a lot to fear. I can only imagine you are some overweight computer jockey who sits in a corner, hovering over a keyboard, sniveling over how no one but Trog is worthy to judge the media.

Get over it. You are a nobody!

I am not Jerry Jordan

Beaumont Underground is under new management. I am not Jerry Jordan. I am not Rusty. I might be the person sitting next to you while you are playing on the internet rather than doing your job. It does not matter who I am. Let’s talk about the news, news makers and those who work in the news business.

Anything is fair game. KFDM’s on-air disasters from the automation, KBTV’s anchors who cannot speak English or KBMT’s revolving-door air talent.
