I saw that blasted "Betty Report" by Lu Parker. Thanks for giving us Southern Californians another ridiculous stereotype to have to live down. I like that people think that we speak "dude," but we are not morons. What a disgusting "sweeps" rating period trick! What's the matter with you, KTLA? You used to be such a proud bastion of pioneering broadcast journalism. Warren Wilson and Stan Chambers retire and Hal Fishman passes away, so what, no parents are monitoring you now? Just try "watching" a report like that if you are a parent. How would you like that? I'd really be interested in hearing what other people have to say. I'm no prude at all, but do we really need a report on how SOME women are coloring their hair "down there?" Isn't there a war on right now? Aren't we in the biggest economic mess since the Great Depression? You want big ratings, KTLA? Then how about doing more profiles on what Southlanders are doing to survive and thrive in this economy. When the Great Depression and the aftermath of World War Two hit, Southern California was the king when it came to entertainment, aerospace, biomedical engineering and on and on. We'd like to take some kind of pride. This report makes Sarah Palin look like a Nobel Prize winner. Stop it, KTLA. Just stop it. What do you think?

You lighten up. What's the matter with you?
This may seem like a light story, but there are larger implications here, like Freedom of the Press.
If you can't see that some lame consultant came up with the idea for this one instead of reporting on things that NEED TO BE REPORTED, then you're either 1) clueless, 2) you ARE that consultant or 3) both.
In any case, you're wasting our time. Either stand up and be counted and do something about this garbage, or get out because you are slowing down the freight train that is humanity. Stop it or you'll be no better than Jonathan Edward (not the VP candidate, the dude who claims to talk to dead people). Can't get much lower than that. Except maybe being a consultant to KTLA.
Fenarkleman, I'm not clueless nor the consultant!! How dare you!! Who are you to be calling everyone on this message board names??? My goodness!!! You should really work on your attitude toward others. The Betty Report was on the Prime News! Change the channel if you have no humor!!! You have lots of other options. Who's stopping you?

Fenarkleman, it would of been nice if you had a sense of humor... We live in a cruel and inhuman world full of drama drama drama, so get used to it! All reporting worldwide consists of looming recessions, war and economic meltdowns... So what the heck if they want to "report" on "betty's" or anything on a humoristic subject...a little light humor at the end of the day hasn't done any harm to anyone...And as a parent you can't protect your kids from anything in this world, not war or economic meltdowns or "betty" reports...trust me buddy they "learn" more then you think in/at other places!
And if you so strongly object to this report, you always have one other option...Don't watch it!
