Armstrong Shouldn’t Own TV Stations

Post by sinklair » Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:58 am

Yet another reason why Armstrong Williams/David Smith’s lapdog shouldn’t own TV stations. In an article on Patriot Post, he says:

“Mr. President, why do you keep putting yourself in this predicament? Why do you continue to give reporters, who only seek to malign you, the time of day? It just doesn’t make any sense.”

Why should the President answer questions from journalists? Really? And this comes from a guy who owns TV stations and employs reporters. Armstrong has no problem calling for investigations and hard questions for Democrats and liberals... but seems the need to protect the President and his conservative/Republican allies. Under Armstrong Williams an independent/non-biased media is truly dead. Time to shut down 25-66...

And again silence from 25-66’s new GM and the In Over Her Head News Director.

Two Weeks Notice.

Audio: why should I quit? I do my job... and according to my supervisor, I do it well. Now, if they allowed us to do annual performance reviews, here’s what 25-66 station management would receive:

New GM: Incomplete
ASSistant GM/Promotions Director: F (I’d give a lower grade if one was available)
In Over Her Head News Director: F
Director of Declining Sales: -$267,840.56
HR Director/Party Planner: 1 half eaten grilled cheese sandwich and cold tomato soup

EXCLUSIVE: Armstrong doesn’t want independent journalists to interview President Trump, but he has no problems tossing him softball questions and forcing his local stations to run this one-sided propaganda:

Also interesting editorial choice for 25-66’s In Over Her Head News Director to leave out the fact that WEYI owner Armstrong Williams is the business director for HUD Secretary Ben Carson.

I know Nelly had at least one class on ethics when she received her MASTERS degree at Boston University. She must have slept through it.

And the station is being forced to run oppo-research in our newscasts. Armstrong paid for a poll, made us run it newscasts so it would be a “business expense” then handed the data over to Trump’s re-election campaign:

When your contract runs out they probably won't renew because of the slander you post on here!

Dudley: they don’t know who I am. It’s quite comical watching them try to figure out who’s posting then running into their office. They need proof to fire me and they don’t have it since I do everything off the clock and with non-station devices (sorry Marc and Chris...)
