You just have to love Ted Nugent

Yes, this is what we’d all like to say – No, it’s probably not how it should be said.

But then conventional methods such as diplomacy and tact don't seem to reach everybody.
I'm just glad he's on our side!

Mr. Ed Whelan Summarily Discharged

WOW - What a shock! What a low class action followed by a high class act.

Ed Whelan, 30-plus year veteran of KOIN News, is no longer with the station. Monday afternoon he was called into a meeting and told his contract would not be renewed. He was given the option of going home immediately, but Whelan went ahead and finished the 6 pm and 11 pm newscasts, packed up 30 years of stuff into a box, and went home. He hasn't been back.

There are other blogs and information sites out there that detail this story better.

I just want to say that with KATU (Fisher Broadcasting) pandering to Illegal Aliens with their Univision franchise and KOIN being just stupid with actions like firing Mr. Whelan, I'm running out of local stations that I'm willing to watch.

Ed Whelan is a one-of-a-kind gem in the cookie cutter world of broadcast journalism. When a station is fortunate enough to have someone like Mr. Whelan (loyal, dedicated and entertaining) working for them, they should covet him not fire him.

Shame on KOIN -

All KATU has to do is dump their Univision franchise and acknowledge their error in supporting such an anti-American endeavor to get me back as a viewer. I don't know what KOIN will have to do.

Best of luck to you Ed Whelan - May you enjoy your forced retirement to the greatest extent possible!

What else? - Dani Countryman

I’m having trouble coming to terms with how incensed I am over this Dani Countryman thing.

We know that young girls do stupid things and get killed and illegal aliens commit unspeakable crimes all the time. This somehow just seems to be the pinnacle reason that criminal aliens need to be shown the door with careful attention paid to showing them that it only swings one way

Thank you Teddy Kulongoski and company!
