It’s a minimum wages training center job now. We have high school kids “reading” the news. Looks like an episode of Freaks and Geeks. IYKYK

I would say, it started when they wouldn't shuffle Angela out of the picture when she was old and fat. Sure she helped build the station to what it was but it was built on attractive AND intelligent reporters / anchors.

It's fricking tv. Quit pretending hot people don't get better ratings than ugly people based purely on looks because of course they do.

Local news isn't that far from the trash heap of printed media. Younger adults don't even think about watching local news. The average age viewership for local news is something like 55.

Sitting in waiting room

4 people on the set… 2 fat black women, a black guy, and a clearly gay white male meteorologist

Thus once great station has become a DEI warehouse



So, are you upset because there are three Black people and one gay guy on set? Because I am still waiting for you to provide some insight into why that is a problem, like whether they are bad at their jobs or not.


So much for living in a nation where people are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, huh?

WWL news reporting involves personal inflection from the reporters, mostly in-studio announcers. It is subtle and obvious to the extent at which the "reporting" is steered to a certain perspective. That's great, but WWL should not pretend to be bias and fair in their content. It's easy to switch the channel and find more centric reporting.

Give me the news of the day and I will formulate my own opinion.

The issue people take is that we know they are checking boxes and not hring people because thry were qualified and attractive. Arguing the attractive part i get. Trying to tell people in this day and age that they weren't checking off boxes with those hires is a tough argument

Fair point and I agree

To the extent that this goal was achieved, it wasn’t white conservatives who regressed, it was radical liberal blacks and whites who ruined it. That’s why the pattern of DEI hires produces unqualified people who by definition are ideologically possessed and incapable of being objective in fields like journalism.

That’s why the jump from “unqualified black” to simply just “black” is so easily yet erroneously made. There ARE very few if any conservative blacks or objective, non-radical blacks in a DEI controlled media. They can’t get hired.

Payton Malone is probably the best meteorologist in the city. I don't care who he spends his time with.

Also Breanna just left earlier this week so one of the other girls are filling in until there's a replacement. She divorced her husband and moved to Houston

Hap Glaudi


I've posted this before, and I have to post it again because it makes me smile thinking about it.

A couple years after Hap's passing, Buddy D was hosting the post-Saints game recap on WWL radio. He gets a call, and it went something like this:

BUDDY: "Awright, we're back...let's go to the next caller. Jim Bob, welcome to Hap's Point After."

JIM BOB: "Yeah, Hap, how you doin?"

BUDDY: "Hold on a minute, Jim Bob. Hap Glaudi passed a couple years back, and now I host the show. My name's Buddy D. Go ahead..."

JIM BOB: "Aight, thanks Hap. Look here....*CLICK*."

BUDDY: "Good Lord, the squirrels are out tonight...."

He's talking about the TV station which has no affiliation with the radio station.

She got old but she was never fat. I've met her in person and she was always thin.
