Have you read the messages Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 8:51PM

No Steve. Did you view this video?


Steve Williams Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 9:14PM

SeattlePI obtained a copy of the script, which is posted below unedited and in its entirety:

"Hi, I'm(A) ____________, and I'm (B) _________________...

(B) Our greatest responsibility is to serve our Northwest communities. We are extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that KOMO News produces.

(A) But we're concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media.

(B) More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories... stories that just aren't true, without checking facts first.

(A) Unfortunately, some members of the media use their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control 'exactly what people think'...This is extremely dangerous to a democracy.

(B) At KOMO it's our responsibility to pursue and report the truth. We understand Truth is neither politically 'left nor right.' Our commitment to factual reporting is the foundation of our credibility, now more than ever.

(A) But we are human and sometimes our reporting might fall short. If you believe our coverage is unfair please reach out to us by going to KOMOnews.com and clicking on CONTENT CONCERNS. We value your comments. We will respond back to you.

(B) We work very hard to seek the truth and strive to be fair, balanced and factual... We consider it our honor, our privilege to responsibly deliver the news every day.

(A) Thank you for watching and we appreciate your feedback"

The question was for the second time, Did you see this video report?

Steve Williams Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 9:25PM

I've been watching ALL the stations report this same dumb video mash, these same dumb panel opinions, all day long. What did the Sinclair script say that you disagree with Ron?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 9:31PM

I did not ask you a thing about what you were doing on ALL the stations report this same dumb video mash, I asked you "Did you see this video report on the top of this blog?

Steve Williams Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 10:00PM

I watched all 3 of my daytime MSNBC shows today Ron. Andrea Mitchell, Ali Veshi, and Nicole Wallace. Is it your belief that if I watch these 9 minutes, that I'll learn something I didn't from those 3 MSNBC shows? Do you expect me to believe that unlike Sinclair anchors, MSNBC anchors are unscripted?

Steve Williams Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 11:05PM

I watched your video Ron, just to confirm what I already knew, that I would not be told what the anchors were saying, that no proof would be offered how it was "mostly conservative".

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 10:53AM

Well I be!!! You finally took the time to answer my question, after repeating the question over and over and over again. Now that you said you reviewed this video report, let's move forward.

Then Steve you may have heard by now about Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest ownership of TV stations across the country that is under a intense look this morning. Sinclair owns or operates near 200 local TV stations that reach a large portion of the country. This company has been criticized before for sending their stations a must run STORIES on all of their local stations, to fit their agenda.

Steve, you are aware of that correct?

Steve Williams Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 12:30PM

I'm aware that MSNBC are rivals with Sinclair Broadcasting Group, yes. They are all just grubbing for money, so?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 2:15PM

Then are you aware that Sinclair Broadcasting Group has a conservative leaning agenda?

Steve Williams Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 2:26PM

No Ron, I saw no evidence of that presented in your video. I certainly saw nothing in the script that's exclusively a conservative concern.

Steve Williams Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 2:27PM

"At KOMO it's our responsibility to pursue and report the truth. We understand Truth is neither politically 'left nor right.' Our commitment to factual reporting is the foundation of our credibility, now more than ever."

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 2:39PM

Steve, I understand that you don't want to acknowledge that FACT but that information is found early in this Video presentation, within the first 30 seconds of this report. WOW!!!



Steve Williams Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 3:18PM

There is no "information" about any conservative agenda Ron. It's a historical fact that the Democratic Party was pro-slavery. As far as the second supposed "evidence", we are given no "information" about the referenced person. This is why you don't understand things, because you never go beyond such trivial sound bites.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 3:44PM

What I said was "conservative leaning agenda" which was pointed out within the first 30 seconds of this report and not telling you there was the conservative agenda, that is two different things.

I know, you are just the water boy... Nothing to see there...




Steve Williams Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 7:20PM

You said "which mostly push a conservative agenda." Being against Hillary wasn't a conservative agenda, it's just plain common sense.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 10:29PM

Hillary is not all of Republican Right Wing agenda and you know it.



Steve Williams Tuesday, April 3rd 2018 at 10:50PM

Do some research Ron. What Stephanie Ruhle tells us here in no way qualifies as evidence. All she's doing is talking **** about her competitors. Who cares about any of these stupid cable news channels anyway? They don't even deserve the appellation "the press".

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 4th 2018 at 9:28AM

Who cares about any of these stupid cable news channels anyway? The control of The Nations airwaves and Freedom of Speech.

Steve, If you don't care, then why are you here?


Steve Williams Wednesday, April 4th 2018 at 2:30PM

I'm here to dispute your advocacy of social network propaganda.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 4th 2018 at 6:12PM

Not if you don't care.

Steve Williams Wednesday, April 4th 2018 at 7:53PM

What I said is I don't care about cable news channels. I do care about the social media propaganda that you use it for.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, April 4th 2018 at 9:21PM

I know, you said you don’t Care, I got it!!!
