Awards don't matter. All thse people represent are Social Security numbers on
the spreadsheep of a freakin beancounter!

Of course, when the news product sucks, and they lose viewers, the advertisers
will want the rates lowered by 25%.

So...they'll just have to lay off MORE!

YEAH! That's the ticket! Cut more to make the product better!

My ex wife was wrong...it's not just me-we're ALL just cans of tuna!

Bay Area icons Bill Schechner and Manny Ramos, were laid off Monday at CBS
5-TV (KPIX) in San Francisco in an apparent cost-cutting move.
The reporters, well known to Bay Area viewers for decades, were among 14
newsroom employees let go.
