KX in the News

KX News was picked on recently by a national site for mis-reporting that Blackle is owned by Google. See the KX News story here and the online mockery of it here. I almost feel bad for them but it really is basic reporting to check your facts before publishing. I’m not sure if some of […]

Porn on a Thumb Drive

Looks like a State Representative (who just happens to be a democrat) got caught with some nude pictures on the thumbdrive he was using for his presentation. I stumbled across this on digg.com and the best comment was this (in response to another commenting that he was a democrat): Of course he’s a Democrat, if […]

To Catch a Lawsuit

Remember a few weeks back when I posted about the suicide of a retired state prosecutor that was the result of the invasion of the cameras from the NBC show, To Catch a Predator? Well it turns out his family has launched a lawsuit against NBC to the tune of 105 million dollars. I’m guessing […]

Cop Car Advertisements and Tornado Interviews

Officers in Toledo have started allowing advertising on their cop cars. This decision comes at a time when new cars are needed in an aging fleet and while funding is at a low. You know what? I completely agree with this. I don’t think they should limit it to just a 3 foot by 1 […]
