Melanie Morgan, while I may agree with many of her views, is not the sharpest tack on the board. I wonder who wrote this column for her?
Ironically, Melanie has a morning show slot (with a true pro, Lee Rodgers) on KSFO 560 a.m. in San Francisco because she is married to the program director. Cronyism, anyone?
I see--"cronyism" in your own business is bad, but "cronyism" on the public's dime is good, is that it?
I read here two weeks ago that Morgan was out on the street. Did she get rehired?
Stuff a sock in it. Lee is a pro's pro, but Mel is an able sidekick, and brings passion and a needed shot of estrogen. She doesn't drag the show down a bit. Mel may not be the most scintillating extemporaneous orator on the air, but she was and is a good news reporter. And on her worst day, she's better than our President, whose father was President, you may remember.
Do you wish to extend your "cronyism" accusation to him as well?
Is everyone who attacks those who criticize the Miers appointment this foggy? First of all, your chronology is all backwards. Melanie has been with ABC affiliates in San Francisco since the 80's. Second, that is a private business and that is the shareholders money. Don't like it. Don't listen. The SC is a public office, in case you had not been paying attention. Fourth, you can try to tune the SC out, but it might come back to get you.
It sounds like you are conceding that Bush's pick of Miers was cronyism.
I'll remind you that while Melanie's husband IS the Program Director, the General Manager of the station is the one who calls the shots. He FIRED Melanie if you'll recall until the station was swamped with calls, emails and FAXes demanding Melanie's reinstatement.
