WAFB proved what everyone thought but could never really confirm. The govt-media familial relationship is in full effect even right down to a local level. It's all corrupt.

She really is great but how does she get paid for what she does, pay for equipment, etc? I follow her on all the social media platforms and get most of all BR local news from there but I hope she's got a revenue stream somehow. It would SUCK if she left out area. I guess

I don't think she's going anywhere soon. She's not only going after corruption/incompetence in the government but she's trying to embarrass the local media as well. Besides, BR is what we call a target-rich environment for a journalist.

Not once has any of the 3 shite rags questioned Murphy Paul about the kid's body who was found in the driveway after a drug overdose, only after they were threatened with FBI involvement.


Not one of the shitrags have asked chief shite for brains why he STILL frickING LIVES IN ASCENSION PARISH.

WHY IS THE POLICE CHIEF OF BATON ROUGE TOO BIG OF A CUCK arse BITCH TO LIVE IN CITY LIMITS?!

Is he scared? Is it the crime? Is it the bad schools? Is it the “food desert”? It surely isn’t the gas prices or home prices that are making him drive 20+ min into the city any time something happens.

Eat shite, Murphy Paul. If you were on fire, I’d piss on the ground infront of you and roast marshmallows over your crispy arse body.

I mean... It only takes a phone call from maybe two of the posters on here.

Or... We start writing people's full real names in posts and things get done.

The last thing any of these people want is the one of the top ten google results for their name to link to this place.

Because the ACLU is another Progressive-owned entity that is part of the propaganda arm of the DNC.

Remember just a few years ago resident Progs would mock anyone that said ALL of our media was biased. Now, that's just an accepted fact, and anyone that doesn't tow the MSM narratives are banned from asking questions.

Yet these same people that will ban people like Chawla, will tell you that it is YOU that is the NAZI.

Understatement. This is enhanced by pretty much the rest of our local media being willing to bend over for the mayor's office.

Years ago, Monroe had a similar reporter (except KNOE wasn't scared of the local politicians) named Ken Booth (RIP). The guy became a legend (went around the world, interviewed Presidents, etc). Kiran is well on her way to becoming the Baton Rouge version of him, we're lucky to have her.

Exactly. He has journalism confused with propaganda…like many do.


I question his journalistic integrity.

I have first hand knowledge of events he has reported on in the past. His reporting regarding them was either factually incorrect or without context.

Kiran does it the right way, vetting her sources before releasing her story.

The person in Baton Rouge currently setting the bar for excellence in investigative journalism (and doing it all on her own).

Great question, she's a person of color but not the right color.

Bank robber Willie Sutton, when asked why he robbed banks, replied “That’s where the money is.”

If you asked an honest cop why people are patrolling NBR, especially around areas like Exxon, they would say “Because that’s where the crooks are.”
