I do not recall reading much about anyone not liking Scott Matthews when he was ND at FOX 29. Matthews has always been very likeable, just not a strong manager.
The current ND however, is NOT likeable AND not a strong leader. For starters, she hides behind her managers and doesn't deal well at all with staff issues and problems.
I must have missed the posts you speak of that make fun of HG sexual preference. Most don't seem to care,
The only way it comes into play is when it affects the workplace--- she plays favorites with particular female staff, let's say.
Surrounds herself with female "managers" and has an unusual female personality preference.
by the way, The new set is tons better than the old one.
Not sure why you say previous posters comments don't wash.
Everyone here has their own opinion. |

Its a shame the world of broadcasting is all about CYA. Most ND's(including the ND's in NY and Philly) I know them personally-- use CYA everyday--in hiring, execution, process, and getting along...What happened to the viewer.
What happened to the passion, the inspiration to make a difference--telling stories that mean something...Sure it's harder and requires concentration everyday--not just the milk run, the "spraying" a fire philosophy I see everywhere...It's done better in New York but it's still the same...We are shortchanging the viewer, our society...and the managers don't give a hoot.
How can you sleep at night...
I'm tired of seeing the same old, dead tired newscast where grammer and enterprising reporting have gone the way of the dinosaur...
What are we doing?
The train is going to wreck at the end of the tunnel...Can we stop it?
And yes--can we forget about current day practices when News Managers have left at the door the philosophy that hiring better people is the way to go.
Not so in today's broadcast shops...It's all about CYA.
What happened to the newsroom environment where execution and the greater good is the cause...
Hiring the best and brighest.
Not so--it's all about CYA.
Too bad cause I love this great business we call broadcast journalism.
I'm sick to my stomach to see what's happening...Kids making decisions and ND's with no starch...
I watch news in many places and yell and scream at all the BS airing. Is it really to cover the time--can we do better. You know we can...
New managers out there --please get it together. Stop playing favorites, hiring the weak and young and make it happen...
Otherwise you just might as well get a job assembling cars in Detroit. Cause right now that's what's happening to our business. E.R. Murrow is rolling over in his grave...
