are throwing out what looks to be recent college grads in an izod and jeans to read a few notes from their cell phone while stepping all over the English language and the facts of the story. The anchor desks arent much better
Nationwide... this is the trend.

Rumor was Al Duckworth enjoyed the EtOH


They all did. Back in the 90’s Kim Holden and her then husband owned the Blue Moon Tavern in Old Metry, where Hog Alley Lounge is now. All the media people in the city went there on Wednesday nights.

John Snell and Normand Robinson liked to put the drinks down and get hammered.

I remember that guy getting into it with Derrick Shepherd in an interview. It was right after Katrina, I think. "I will cut you, Snell" turned into kind of a running joke between me and my brother.

I live near Knoxville, TN.
I've noticed a marked decline in looks/figure of the new News Anchors. In the past the females have been trim and neat.
The last couple of months they disappeared and were replaced with
"Wide Loads".

Great meme until Hoss came in a ruined it. Not a fan of Hoss in anything he does. He tries to hard to be funny and comes across as an a-hole


I think you're probably the a-hole.

The best was when Robinson was pulled over for drunk driving in Algiers and he decided to take a leak on the side the road in front the cops.

I’m sure we ran with the same crowd at some time. New Orleans is a very small town. You went to Brother Martin huh?

Most local news broadcasts are absolutely pathetic. In the digital age, you’re not going to get many talented people aiming to be a regional tv personality. It’s too easy to get famous and a better income on Instagram, tiktok, or YouTube

I'm not sure why, but the New Orleans area has the best news in the nation as a region. WWL and Fox8 are incredible compared to the national average.


No wonder the country is fricked.

If you think that’s bad, try KATC and KLFY in Lafayette. Turrible amateurs.

He was a highly respected journalist. Died from issues from a brain tumor.
