KION's Center for Investigative [In]Action

First off, I've been more than a little amused by KION's "news". Whether it's newlyweds Marc Cota-Robles and Jasmine Viel's Ron Burgundyesque vocal delivery and cooler-than-thou "He's Marc, I'm Jas, here's the news" nightly intro, or the overall sense that their newscasts smack of something just slightly more polished than a community college's Video Production 101's newscast exercise, there's usually something for me to laugh at or shake my head towards.

A recent favorite is KION's dripping-with-self-importance "Center for Investigative Action", complete with Law & Order-reminiscent intro (think "In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by...") and posedown. To wit:


Can't you just hear the Law & Order "dah-dah" sting?

In any event, I wanted to see their "CIA" inaction in action. Their most recent bit of vigorous truth-pursuing was the following report: Editor's note: Shortly after posting this blog entry and video, KION's "CIA" section no longer has video clips. If/when the video returns, I'll re-link the video to this entry.

So it was an adequate story of the proposal to avoid prison overcrowding by releasing lower-tier inmates in California. Ducky. What was so hard-hitting about this piece? What exactly did they uncover that wouldn't have been discovered if the "Center for Investigative Action" hadn't gotten involved?

Know your role, would-be Sam Waterstons and Mariska Hargitays. You're a small-market newscast, and unless you actually perform some investigative journalism, you look like small town posers. I dare any of these intrepid reporters to put stuff like this on their résumé reels when they apply for jobs in bigger markets. Or perhaps they already have and that's why we're stuck with them.

PS: "Attorney" is usually spelled with "ey" at the end, not "attorn".

  1. I'm proud to say now that I am finally at a place where I have found something that works for me. Almost four years ago I began seeing a classical Homeopath. I was put on a traditional herbal medicines by Dr Jekawo who resides in west africa, and I am amazed at my healing thus far. I will continue to post what worked for me and what didn't in more blogs to come (as this one is getting quite long... and I'm not writing a book here - not yet anyway). This discovery has not only helped the way I practice, but it has also given me further insight into the world of Herbal  medicine. I came to know more about Dr Jekawo on Tv Station when I was taking my regular organic coffee at javamania coffee spot I watched the whole scene on how he uses Natural herbs to cure disease like Herpes, Hiv/Aids, Cancers,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Multiple myeloma, Neuroendocrine tumors,lymphoma,Alzheimer's disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson's disease, Als And Diabetes, I was moved by his words then I took a confident step to contact him regarding my health condition Herpes & Prostate Cancer, He prepared his herbal medicine then sent it to me through Courier which I took as it's was instructed and I found myself healing symptoms are all gone I have being watching my health for years now and I finally confirmed that is a permanent cure like he told me at our first conversations so now I'm healthy and happy I purchase his herbal tea which I usually take in the morning before starting my day because it feels good to find addiction on natural herbs than medical drugs so is what I'm doing and loving it more and More to come later on blogs sooner I will be writing my book.I will advise you to contact Doctor Jekawo A traditional herbal doctor, for any kind of permanent cure and herbal remedy.Doctor Jekawo Email Contact: drjekawo@gmail.com Also On Whats-App Calls: +2349046894007.
