LOL. Channel 5 News for the first time issues an on air statement

[chelsea0011]

that Gail Huff is Scott Brown's wife after she appeared on stage with him last night. And they said Gail never campaigned for Brown to make it seem why she was never asked to take a leave of absence. So, I guess, all is OK with Channel 5.

1. I saw her last night and thought she looked familiar

Interesting.

2. I've known about that for a while

In fact, during the campaign, I used to refer to Brown as Mr. Gail Huff.

At least they didn't have her reporting on political issues during the campaign. She was still mostly standing out by I95 in the middle of snowstorms, or reporting on the latest traffic accident or shooting.

3. That explains why they were gushing about him

How gross.

6. Well, that and the fact he is a Republican, as are most of their on camera folk.

But, I did worry that Liz Bruner, who was reporting from the Brown victory party, was going to wet herself right on camera. And then, I grabbed a barf bag when she literally dove under view of the camera as it occurred to her the viewer might not be able to see all the joy at the party after Coakley conceded.

Ugh.

4. He got a ton of free airtime on Channel 5 and the other local channels.

Professional courtesy, no doubt. :eyes:

5. The Globe says she's going to stay on at Channel 5

Even now that she's Mrs. Senator Centerfold.

7. Makes sense. Congress works what? A three day week.

[Blaukraut]

8. This pisses me off

She should have had the decency to resign, citing conflict of interest. How can channel 5 even pretend anymore to be unbiased?

Our local media is going to do us in yet. Talk radio is now actively looking for candidates to replace our 10 reps in November. This is going to get extremely ugly.

10. I hope the DNC is not still asleep at the switch. Anyone have any clout there?

9. That's Mrs. Senator Centerfold Girl with the Curious Hand to you!

:D
