She makes my head spin. Evening is supposed to be a relax time without the alcohol. I decided to listen to NPR in the evening to catch up the financial market and the local and world news instead.

I'm retired and I don't get up at 4:30 anymore so I like to watch the National News desk and then catch the daily news afterwards. Unfortunately, you have no idea which day they're going to air. There was a Tuesday where they showed the previous Friday's broadcast. Today they showed yesterday's broadcast. As much as I love the morning crew, it does make me wonder how reliable their broadcasts are if they can't even take care of a website which is so easily programmable these days. I wish they would fix this because I've always felt they were the least biased of all of the current local stations.

I absolutely hate it and despise it and today's the last day I ever waste my time clicking on Fox News channel online I just will never do it again and I'm removing the link so I'm never tempted. The endless advertising and screwy way that it is just set up to attempt to view your selected contact is beyond frustrating and I'll never do it again And it's a shame too because I love the Fox News on the TV format. But whoever the idiot is that was in charge of setting up the online on your computer Fox News needs to be the cabana boy for Joe Biden this summer.

That is always 3 minutes before the traffic report on the 4's. And the 2 that are on at 5AM thinks they are the best, but the way they read there stuff leaves a lot to be desired. Total amateur's trying to act like the big time................And more guys I have talked to said they gave up listening to KOMO Radio because all it is is a advertising station, and that is the truth. That is all it is.....................simply tired of the BS.

The College Friend and I weren't able to attend the other food/drink event at the KCTS 9 studios. But we froze waiting in line, hoping to get a good seat for the later free panel event. I remember we had had a terrific time chatting with a couple that had just moved from Chicago to Seattle. I was able to get tips for an upcoming trip to the upper midwest, just wished I was brilliant and actually exchanged contact info. I remember feeling so much pride seeing so many Filipino/Filipino American participants from the greater Seattle community from the cultural presentation from UW students to the folks on the panel with Chef Samuelson. I enjoyed the venue hosting the event that is adjacent to the Seattle Opera. Decent seating and interior, well emceed, and an overall memorable event. Thank you KCTS 9 for having terrific programming and community events like this.

Since the demise of the Seattle PI, there has been a huge gap in local coverage of Washington State…read moreand Seattle news (mainly politics), reported for the people of Seattle, not the outlying suburbs, which the mainstream media pays more attention and caters to. PublicCola fills this coverage gap very nicely, and is a refreshing change from the what the local mainstream media covers, which now days, flips its nose to the people of the City of Seattle and what they want to read. Since the beginning of the year, they've expanded their coverage from local political, to food, music, legal, and land use to name a few. I've been going to the mainstream sites increasingly less, since the writing is much better and much more on par with what this Seattle resident wants to read. So, if you're sick of the lack of detail that the local tv station or newspaper writes, or want much more detail with a Seattle perspective, head over to PublicCola.net and check it out!

A for Effort. That counts for something, right?…read more I first was turned on to Publicola in the late Summer of 2009, when the primary for Mayor of Seattle was really heating up. As a venture headed up by two former Stranger writers (Josh Feit and Erica C. Barnett), it offered the possibility of decent to better coverage of local issues, with some snarky writing to make things a bit more entertaining. As the campaign wore on past the primary, the comment threads really kept me coming back. While they would, at times, get excessively heated, it was the one place where a bunch of local political junkies, insiders, outsiders who wish they were insiders, and antagonists converged and really hashed out the issues (and, occasionally, solely engaged in trashing the other person's favored nominee/position on the tunnel). It was also during this period that Publicola attempted (from my perspective) to go "mainstream", and offer, per Mr. Feit, a "dose of objectivity" to their reporting, an alternative to the blatantly biased reporting at the Stranger, and more subtle biased reporting at the Seattle Times. All of that aside, I still read Publicola daily, and comment fairly regularly. What I fear the site lacks, however, is a clear direction. At one point, it was a local political reporting site, and it seems to be becoming a hodgepodge of random "nerds", with postings at random times of the day. Some are interesting, some are uninteresting, and some are painfully boring and pointless (and not the funny pointless at the Slog (a la Lindy West)). The morning routine of "Morning Fizz" is never in any logical order for the blurbs on stories involved (literally - they will post on a topic from the City Council, then some random bit about THEESatisfaction, back to the City Council, someone is going to be on KUOW, State Legislature, and some other random bit), and it is common that simple spelling and grammatical errors that MS Word Spellcheck would catch are not caught in the editing room. The "dose" of objectivity is, more often than not, a farce. While there will be occasion of straight news reporting, almost every story includes a clear slant from the reporter involved. Making matters worse, it is rare that there will be opposing viewpoints, until one enters the comment threads. That's not objectivity. There is also the issue of "scoops". It is fairly common that a story will be posted, and end mid-sentence of a paragraph, in shorthand, in order to be the first local outlet to report. I personally find this very troubling, as if being first is more important than being accurate or, even worse, intelligible. Finally, the comment threads are one will_in_seattle away from becoming the mess of BS that the Times comment threads are. This is really sad, because it takes away from good, well thought out conversations to mayor bashing for the sake of mayor bashing. I know that they can't control the comment threads (even though they are known to pull and/or edit comments), but this is just a sad fact. Those gripes aside, the fact that the team at Publicola is willing to do so much digging for stories that most media don't care about (Dr. Bushnell), and really keep following others (the panhandling ordinance), does show a seriousness that they are trying. Where was the Stranger during the Bushnell fiasco? Is the Stranger willing to criticize the man they feigned over during the election? It seems not. Publicola has shown that, even though they'll support you, doesn't mean you're free from tough questions. They've been around for just over a year. I hope that in the next year, they continue to grow, but also continue to work on issues such as editing before posting, ensuring facts are correct, and ordering news items in a way that makes sense. For now, three stars. Maybe next time they can get four.
