“It’s a toxic place to work in.” I believe you. The pressure on Cher Calvin, Micah Ohlman, etc. is huge, since they must push a very narrow party line: Robert Mueller is good, Robert Mueller is really good, and the 2020 election was the most secure election in history.

It’s Fox News’ loss that they didn’t keep the highly intelligent Melissa Francis. I still don’t understand why they just didn’t give her a freakin’ raise when she requested it.

WOW I’ll be damned I had no idea about Wendy Burch, she always acted like such a weirdo when she did reporting on KTLA..I remember once this dude puked on her it was the funniest sh”t. As far as Chris Burrous goes, the cover up over his death was disgraceful..if KTLA had been a legit news organization they would have told the truth instead of giving that guy a week’s long tribute when the whole time they knew he was a sick freak who ran out of work that day to go meet some sleazeoid at a glendale motel to have gay sex and was found with a ball in his mouth. He had a daughter and a wife at home, that was his double life

KTLA Anchor Chris Burrous’ Cause of Death Released

By Margeaux Sippell

An investigative report on KTLA anchor Chris Burrous has determined that his cause of death was attributed to methamphetamine toxicity, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. Burrous, 43, was found unconscious at a motel in Glendale, Calif on December 27, and later died at the hospital. The death has been ruled as accidental.

The coroner’s report said that in addition to the Class A drug, “Other contributing factors include hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.”

Glendale police were contacted by a man who told them “an individual he was with had passed out and was possibly not breathing.” The man he was with administered CPR before Burrous was taken to the hospital. The medical emergency occurred during a sexual encounter, the report specified. It went on to explain that Burrous had met up through the Grindr app with a male companion, with whom he had met four times previously. During the encounter, Burrous inserted two “rocks” of crystal meth through his rectum before falling unconscious.

GHB was also found at the scene, although the report indicated it had been consumed by the other man and not Burrous. The other man was not charged with any crime.

The well-known news anchor had been a regular face on KTLA since 2011, co-anchoring the weekend edition of KTLA Morning News as well as serving as a correspondent for other KTLA telecasts. He was also one of the reporters covering the state’s recent wildfires as well as the mass shooting at Thousand Oaks’ Borderline Bar & Grill. He was also known for his “Burrous Bites” segments on local restaurants.

Burrous is survived by his wife Mai Do-Burrous, a journalist whom he met while working at KGET, and their 9-year-old daughter.

“What’s the story on Lynette Romero?”

New gig on the local L.A. NBC Station. That and her husbands two Restaurants “Jimboy” Tacos closed. Opened in 2018, now kaput. I’m guessing a covid casualty.

I met Henry at a Charity food drive during the Holidays about four years ago. I asked him if the Station management walked him and Chris down to H.R. after the “airport sewage segment” He got a kick out of that one.
