“Fired Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz Just Wondering If He Still Has to Pretend He’s Gay”
Guy burns woman to death on a train.
They’ve caught the scumbag, thanks to a responding officer’s body cam, on-train surveillance cameras, and some civilians spotting him after seeing his image posted and telling the cops.
The person who set the victim on fire appeared to retreat from the train car, sit on a bench at the station and watch as the victim stood and burned, according to Miller.
Body camera and surveillance images were key to apprehending the suspect, officials said in a news conference Sunday afternoon. Police released body camera images to the public and three high school-age New Yorkers recognized the suspect and called the police, Tisch said.
That is slightly inaccurate. KCPQ is a Fox affiliate, but their newsroom is not an arm of Fox News. Their reporting does trend somewhat in a NewsCorp-like direction, but to call her a Fox News Reporter is misleading (not to speak to the fact that “Fox News Reporter” is an oxymoron).
Modern police training focuses on how to be Bad Oeddie. Police chiefs are, AIUI, trained just like the beatwalkers, so the likelihood of getting a decent one is quite low. You see those stories they run about the good things police officers do? They run the same one over and over and really play it up, because those are pretty rare.
Well, I sure as hell ain’t gonna watch it to find out.
Man with cystic fibrosis gets denied treatment by United Health, gets booked for an interview about it on the Today Show, United tells him they’ll approve his treatment if he cancels the interview.
There’s got to be some law that violates.
Yeah, Fox News is a cable network. Local broadcast channels affiliated with Fox have nothing to do with Fox News.
KCPQ’s news program covers local news in the greater Seattle area just like KOMO or KING or KIRO, just a regular news station.
I’ve watched them all for over 40 years, they’re all just regular news shows. KCPQ news is the kind of thing the nutjobs on Fox News would say is fake left wing propaganda. (In other words, they do actual journalism there.)
KOMO, on the other hand, is owned by Sinclair and is very much the Fox News of Seattle with their endless barrage of “the city is dying because homeless people exist” nonsense targeted to suburbanites who haven’t set foot in Seattle since they went to a Seahawks game in 2014 and think CHAZ is still a thing.
(Granted, 3rd ave has been kind of a disaster area ever since covid, but it’s slowly getting less post-apocalyptic.)
“Seattle is Dying” was the actual name of a feature they ran for a while (and it was because there was a larger homeless population than in the past).
I remember. I watched about two minutes of the first special hoping they were going to talk about how gentrification and sky-hogh rent increases have made living in the city unaffordable for most of the people who work there, before realizing that no, they weren’t going to talk about avaricious tech CEOs or the seeming inability to build anything besides more highrise office buildings, but no - it’s all the fault of those dirty poors for not crawling into a hole and dying so the rest of us don’t have to look at them.
KING (NBC) is the one that seems like real journalism. KCPQ does trend a bit more toward crime and sensationalism, but still not as bad as FoxNews cable. KIRO is good, but I prefer KING. All OtA – I will not pay to be fed commercials and decaying non-content.
This actually happened in 2012, if you follow your link. It’s been brought up again in light of United Health being in the news. Not that I believe anything’s changed since then.
KING is my go-to for local news, but I strongly prefer to read my news as opposed to watching it, so I usually stick to reading their website.
I miss Northwest Cable News. It was a regional equivalent to CNN that ran out of the KING broadcast facility and also carried news from Oregon, eastern WA, Idaho, and western Montana. It went dark 10 years ago or so, but when I first moved up here from San Diego in 2004 it was my primary source for finding out what the state of affairs was like in this corner of the country.
Yeah, Northwest Cable News was a good source for regional reporting. I still miss it.
You think they would have prevented him from telling people about that offer.
How?
Make them sign an NDA without telling them what the NDA will prevent them from talking about?
Yeah, I know. But they had to think he’d talk about the offer and that it would look bad for them.
No, they thought that having control of whether or not he got a drug he needed to live would allow them to control what he did or didn’t say.
