In Reply To: Is he the same one? Gee, that's great that he brings coffee to breaking news scene (like all GM's should)...I don't hate him--I've never even worked for him. But, if you like your GM simply because he comes to news events with coffee--you might have your head screwed on a tad crooked. He must not have much work to do in HIS office. It sound from News Blues like he fired a very good News Director. Hmmmm....Very demanding and hands-on...and brings coffee to news stories? Sounds like a GM with too much time on his hands, or a micro-manager that might be a pretty good waiter. When you get some REAL management, give the rest of the broadcast world a call. Boy, that would fly in Detroit..."Here's your coffee, I'll run camera, by the way no one's doing MY job right now." Get a clue, your GM's days are numbered.
Message: I know them both. Both good people. They butted heads. The guy with the highest rank one. That's the way it goes. Forrest knew that when he pushed the line. Sounds like Eric's stand was: we're like the fire department. We don't evacuate. Forrests stand was - people work here. We evacuate. Who's right? you decide.
