KOIN never gave Dan a chance. You were already bitter. You already had contempt for the direction the profession had taken you. When KOIN hired Dan, you'd already decided he was going to fail. Instead of giving him a chance to succeed, you set out to bring him down. Nice work.
Now you don't have to try anymore. Go back to thinking inside your box.
At least the rest of us will have a chance at stomping you back into the #4 place you so richly deserve.

Dan's demise is mostly Dan's fault. He fired several good people and replaced them with fresh faces from Albq. He had no clue about Portland TV, its history or what might work here. He just started handing out pink slips. He thought new graphics, a catchy slogan and some young talent would bring back viewers. What happened? KOIN's probably pulling the lowest ratings in the station's history in the early evening. Who's to blame for all those bad decisions? Staff? No. The two guys who get most of the blame are now without jobs. That's the way the story should end. I just feel sorry for the good people who lost their jobs at KOIN and the good people who work in the next newsroom Mr. Albuquerque tries to "fix"
