Seems that former WSVN and WPLG reporter Olga Bichachi is sick and tired of the fluff her former employers pass off as news, reports SFLTV. She recently joined a group of protestors outside Local 10, and found time to give an interview that was posted on YouTube.
"We want the media to do its job. To start doing what they're supposed to be doing, which is investigating, reporting, asking the right questions. You turn on the media right now and what you hear is stories about who shot who, houses of filth. Trivial stuff. Fluff," Bichachi says. "We're not able to know what's going on in municipalities, in the county, what commissioners are up to, what mayors are up to. All we hear is insignificant stories."
Then she goes off on how the media is so liberal, which ...well if they're only covering fluff how exactly do they insert political bias into that? "A house fire errupted in Pembroke Pines today in which two puppies were killed. Is it Sarah Palin's fault? More at 11."
Otherwise Olga seemed straigt on, until we found out the context of her protests. She was there with a group holding signs like, "Media won't ask, so we will! Where's the birth certificate?" and "ABC won't report. FreeRepublic.com will." Free Republic, if you're not familiar, is a wingnut message board that once called Malia Obama "a typical street whore."
Hey Kyle, newsflash: you're a wingnut. Defining yourself as the center of the political universe and measuring everyone else by you is a huge red wingnut flag waving over the city. If you're like most other reporters you're so far to the left that you can blow kisses to Karl Marx on a daily basis.
Here's an interesting question: How does Miami New Times see itself? Left-leaning, Right-leaning or unbiased?
I have my own opinion, but would like to hear yours first.
