Today, LOCO claims they posted a clarification to a post. The statement was provided by Security National. Ryan Burns and LOCO misrepresented/spun their version of the KINS interview and they could not even be bothered to correct the facts on their own.
A "real journalist" would have contacted SN for comment before but then that was not LOCO's intention with the original post.
A clarification would not be needed if LOCO had not posted a misrepresented, regurgitation, opinion of an interview already linked in Elsewhere.
To make matters, worse Andrew Goff engages in lame sarcasm in Toiletdome and gets marvellously "wit slapped" by Christopher. I know who Christopher is and trust me, LOCO has a problem when liberals see through the farce they are.
Has Andrew ever had any other job except when he has been employed by Hank, first at NCJ, now LOCO?
Any advertiser on LOCO and Lost Coast Communications should be ashamed of being associated with such a trashy site that doesn't even know the basics of journalism. Who are you reaching on LOCO besides the same multiple commenters, a biased section of the comunity, local coffee shop gadabouts and those that have way too much time on their hands to be gainfully employed. LOCO's traffic isnt just theirs. They link other sites.
Only a stupid business would advertise on a trashy site that is a joke, not pro business, rarely provides original news and does not reach customers that translate into revenue.
Businesses like casinos and pot growers, the tip top club don't exactly need advertising, do they? Nor do they care about the quality of their customers. A more traditional business that cares about their reputation, would do their own advertising or hire someone who understands marketing. There are tons of other choices in Humboldt to promote a business.
People are suffering due to economics, due to crime, due to consequences related to drugs, due to homelessness and the best LOCO can come up with is the same tired bs that makes their base froth at the mouth.

Nice Editorial John, you do good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rusty.
DeleteI will second that. Nice work John.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why it matters so much to you what LoCo (or anyone else) posts or doesn't post on their page. You have your niche and they have theirs. I would think you'd be happy that a competitor is so inferior. Live and let live!
ReplyDeleteIt matters because people like you see them as media and as having a niche. They are not competition, they are an embarassment to Humboldt and to the profession. For years in Humboldt, what has passed as "media" is a bunch of substandard, unqualified cliquey stooges pretending they are media. What they are is arrogant, unethical, paid lackeys of the local left. They cannot even produce their own work. If they were seen as the joke they are and other outlets would not run with their ill-informed inaccurate opinions as "news", I would not care. They also suck up ad revenue that should be going to other qualified media outlets. I have written extensively on building my following. I built a business from scratch with skill and vision. I didn't have "Daddy Patrick" fund me nor "Daddy Hank" pass me off as reporter and photographer. Since you are clueless that would be Goff. I also did not hire a court reporter whose husband is a practicing attorney in the Humboldt Superior Court and advertised on my site at the same time. Talk about conflict of interest. I dont give pat on the backs like LOCO does to their buddy Thad and not give credit and link media I do not like. Nor did I throw a hissy fit like Hank when Judy Hodgson didnt listen to him and leave NCJ. Unlike Hank, I dont booze it up in the middle of the day or early afternoon during my workday. Unlike LOCO, I am professional, self made,qualified and do not do someone else's bidding.
DeleteAnd to clarify produce their own work, other than a few photos, even their original articles are opinions, cut n paste from documents they obtain or the occasional summary of a press conference. Not original stuff. Most of it is press releases,auto feeds and linking others. They dont pay to link others. They are not news, media, they are a glorified listing of a mish mosh of anyone that can start a blog, any local ranter mixed in with real media. Then again, what do you expect from peoole who think NCJ with hooks and whips on covers is journalism.
Delete700 + comments on this subject on LOCO so far...click bait.
ReplyDeleteGlad you said it anon. That was the only reason. Comments have been way down at LOCO and LOCO was desperate.

ReplyDeleteKIEM and Sohum Parlance I don't expect much from but Kym I was disappointed printed anything on this topic without mentioning the SN statement. The Tsurai response seems like they just went off LOCO's original incorrect opinion. That shows this is less about the topic and more personal.
