I love it.

Threatening legal action has become the cheap-shot way to silence anybody who says anything someone else doesn't like.

State Sanctioned monopoly power company Wasco Electric Co-op has twice threatened me with legal action for, as a candidate for a seat on the board of directors, pointing out what I believe to be problems with Wasco Electric just like any challenging candidate would be expected to do. That's one way they keep good people off of their board.

What's even more bizarre about this is that rigged board of directors elections for Oregon Co-operatives like Wasco Electric are legal - or NOT illegal. Wasco Electric can legally keep anybody they want off of their board no matter how many votes they get in the election.

In spite of the fact that my (or anybody else's) comments about Wasco Electric will not change the board composition they with to maintain they still threaten legal action.

I think she is CYA here. Sounds like she got between a rock and a hard place. The blogger is doing a good job and maybe she will do her own due diligence b4 posting such a threat again.

What was the embarrassing blooper they pulled, anyone know?

Aren't most local newscasts embarrassing enough without any "bloopers"?

What was the embarrassing blooper they pulled, anyone know?

Probably reporting real news without corporate approval.

So there's no way to see the blooper?

Or if you tell us how they'll come after you? Ok so give us a hint?

I find it peculiar they can get the thing removed.

I don't understand your confusion.

I wouldn't have given this a moment's thought until I saw the still frame from the video. NOW I AM CURIOUS! How can we see this "blooper"? How bad can it be? Did someone let fly with the F word? Was there a loud on screen Fart? The suspense is killing me...

Apparently the video showed several moments, recorded at different times. One comment I read said there were around 10 brief segments to it.

i remember his tweet about it. all it looked like was bloopers that lasted less than a minute and were already deleted by the user. the person running omc was just wanting to know any info about it. KOIN sending that "legal notice" was such bulls*** and embarrassing.

There's a copyright doctrine called "fair use," which allows some copying even with the whole litany of KOIN this and that. I have my doubts as to whether the YouTube video would qualify for that defense, however.

Years ago, they made records of this stuff. Sold them. Now they sue.

It is totally telling that the TV Pukes feel so precarious that they cannot stand or endure reviewing their 'work.'

'The unreflected life is not worth living,' some one said. Hey, TV anchors now are degenerated so far being worthless living that they are ashamed of themselves to be seen.
