now, will you recall Coleen Sullivan, (Coleen spelled with one "L"), the former KEYT reporter babe who left the station under a pregnant cloud of suspicion and who once dated Princess Di's brother Charles..she had a certain brunette flowery charm about her...well, Charles recently got married to a Coleen lookalike: at the Spencer family home known as Althorp, in Northamptonshire, England, Princess Diana's younger brother tied the knot for the third time on Saturday.The ninth Earl Spencer, Charles, wed Canadian philanthropist Karen Gordon in a morning wedding on the grounds of the ancestral estate where Diana is buried...
which brings us to today's story about KEYT and the News-Press and Scott Steepleton's piece on Jim Bunning, departing news director at KEYT...now I'm no fan of KEYT what with the same old stuff they report like traffic accidents and stabbings in Oxnard while ignoring local stories involving the likes Lanny Ebenstein and other members of Team Wendy...but for the News-Press to cast judgement on the station is beyond the limits of bad journalism..and Scott is a poor excuse for a journalist...he's Wendy's servant..now the thing I found funny other than the whole article was this passage about Bunning: "he was apparently fired from Channel 4 in 2005 for not reporting to higher-ups an affair between a reporter and a producer..a relationship with the potential for preferential treatment"...

geez..in the private sector, you have to turn in co-workers who are sleeping together??? I know a bunch of people who slept together! and how come nobody turned in Travis and Scott??
now please...you must be kidding Scott... don't you think that the owner of the News-Press sleeping with the co-publisher Nipper, who takes a paycheck from her and calls her his employer, holds potential for preferential treatment?? duh!! geez this Steepleton dude is dumb as a pickle.... and I wanna know who got Coleen pregnant!!!
of course I understand that Wendy and co are in perpetual defense mode, so any dirt on her enemies will be reported whether it's true or not..we saw that with Travis all the time...and my job here is to expose these hypocrites with satire..using whatever it takes..and since the departure of Travis and Dr. Laura and the sinking circulations and subscriptions, I know that the pressure is working and the only thing keeping the News-Press afloat is the money Wendy won when she divorced billionaire Craig McCaw...
now that's a funny story!!

Preferential treatment? Like Steepleton doing employee reviews and giving only one perfect grade, that being the one he gave his wife, features editor Charlotte Boechler, who serves as his informant in the newsroom? Preferential treatment? News Commandant Don Katich, a realtor and event promoter who was run out the door after a nominal stint at KEYT, is the poster boy for preferential treatment. He now promotes the N-P's special brand of crony journalism, which rewards friends and family and vilifies perceived enemies. Since the News-Press mess broke into the open, it is clear that an oft-used Team Wendy tactic is to accuse people of precisely that which Wendy and her stooges are accused? Complain about bias, get fired for being biased. McCaw obey the law? How about accusing a former editor of sex crimes against children? Preferential treatment? See Steepleton's piece on Bunning. It goes on and on and on and in the meantime, circulation and ad dollars wane and wane and wane, while the goons responsible pat one another on the back for jobs well done. They are desperate to keep their matronage intact and for them that, not the business of journalism, is job one. It is a pathetic farce.
Wonder what local journalism teachers tell their students when they ask about the News-Press.
Attorney Joe Cole, formerly employed by Wendy McCaw (he also served as publisher of the paper for awhile) must have had an inside track on her vindictive personality. His own Web site makes only a vague reference to his experience as a publisher. There is no mention of the News-Press or McCaw.
While Taubman (who owned LaCumbre Plaza) was in federal prison in Michigan for the Sothebys price fixing SBNP printed a press release about his charitable work on the business page. I complained to Joe Cole and next day we learned he was a convicted felon. Joe Cole was a miracle worker while it lasted.
Your momma Mike seems to have a beeline to the NewsPress and KEYT. Hmmm.
Yes Nipple I'm upset and aware of this treason and will take appropriate action soon...
