When I read his rants, the only thing that gives him power that the rest of us don’t have is that he’s one of the big media muckety mucks in the city. I find it amusing that he refers to people going anonymously of being cowards. I’m sure that he would change his assertion if enough people walked up to him on the street and told him what they thought of his comments. However, I am sure that he would complain that you verbally accosted him in my humble opinion.
Because you’re not allowed to have an opinion that goes against the grain or the agenda of the political commissars of either political viewpoint.

Personally, I would tell him what I thought of him to his face and I don’t think he would have the courage to say anything back. That or he would try to file a complaint regarding you bringing up an issue to him personally. Like a bully its always easier to brag about yourself when you have an advantage and in this case the soapbox that Fox 41 provides. Not to mention the money that he gets paid to put his comments both online and in his videos.

That makes me respect him less because he sounds like the type of guy that thinks only his views matter and you are not entitled to your views. All Americans are entitled to their opinions until those opinions bring physical harm or reek of true slander and libel. However, public figures should recall that they make themselves public figures and do so to bring notoriety and attention to their causes, activities, and personal agendas. If you can’t take the heat, then perhaps its time to get out of the kitchen. If you can’t handle us giving you our point of view, then maybe you should either deal with it or turn off your video blogs and retire from the set.

If I had the soapbox that Fox41 has, I would certainly feel free to invest my time trying to better the community by asking what this mayor and other political hacks have been doing to improve the state of affairs for the local population. Whether you are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, conservative, liberal, etc you do hopefully want what is best for the community at large.

Fox41 outside of some nice pieces by Dick Irby has that ability but chooses not to use it because they may upset the powers that be. Obviously being the 4th rated televison station in this market isn’t working for him in his quest to educate us all about our shortcomings of making comments on this site.

Interesting that he makes a comment about vile and hateful speech. However, making comments about lifes losers is hardly a departure from that speech. His comments hardly bestow grace on a reputation that was made by making incedinary comments. Which is interesting that he even mentioned vile and hateful speech when some of his comments over the years were hardly becoming of a station manager.

If you like the latter concept more, please take a look at Tyler Allen.
