TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY INSIDERS CELEBRATE TALK OF A DEAD TREE MEDIA PAY CUT FOR YAEL!!!



Once again on this chilly-ass morning we're reminded that this town's media scene is cold-blooded.

Accordingly . . .

TALK OF A KANSAS CITY STAR PAY CUT FOR COLUMNIST YAEL ABOUHALKAH HAS INSPIRED HOPE AMONG LOCAL POLITICAL DENIZENS THAT THE DAYS OF THIS DEAD TREE MEDIA DUDE CASTING LIGHTNING BOLTS DOWN FROM HIGH UPON HIS IVORY TOWER MIGHT SOON COME TO A END!!!

The word on this media cutback corresponds with ongoing Kansas City Dead Tree Media FAIL and the continuing decline of Sunday newspaper circulation.

Notice that Yaal has abandoned most of his bloggy efforts and mainly dedicates his time toward pushing Mayor Sly's local control effort that nobody wants . . .

Moreover . . . A Kansas City Insider sums up things nicely . . .

"The Star might finally be seeing what everyone else does . . . That guy is out of touch and no longer has any roots or connection to the people in this city. His opinions aren't reflecting the voice of a community, he's just going off on a tangent of his own and the newspaper is seeing that in their numbers."

While we agree that Yael is out of touch and don't really lament this talk of salary slicing given that he's got a stab for TKC whenever this blog gets a mention . . . It's simply Dead Tree Media obsolescence that has determined the career fate of so many seemingly embittered print journalists who spend most of their time complaining on the Internets virtually indistinguishable from just like bloggers.

Developing . . .

  2. He should write a column about unsolicited bulk email.

  3. "Opinions from on high"?
    That's the problem with the Star. They act, think, and write like it's still the glory days of downtown in the 1950s.
    Yael's never managed anything or been responsible for any results except producing his column, which consists of few facts and little but his own uninformed personal opinion.
    Compare the columns in the Star to any serious newspaper and you'll see how bush league and amateurish they are.
    And with that in mind, how's Duiguid's prostate doing?

    (cc) In a special episode, a slightly down syndrome looking, buoy shaped hairy sufferer of Tonys Disease joins the staff in Tonys moms basement as an intern and gets a crash course in self loathing and taking joyful glee in the demise of a newspaper which, ironically, Tony mines 60 per cent of his stories from; Chucks heart continues to be warmed by the saturation of media tributes to Nelson Mandela.

  7. Jeeze, this is an issue that merits our attention because?

    We are the paranoids who freak out over government snooping and don't see the hypocrisy in commenting based upon unsubstantiated gossip.....

    We are sheep and we are stupid.

    Thank God the only other people that listen to our rants are the cum guy, the prostrate guy, the racists, and now the unsolicited bulk mail guy.

    I was at my Grandmothers assisted living center yesterday for a visit, and the chatter than was more meaningful than this.

  8. Want to see something funny? Check out the Oregonian's website...read a little of their columns and then realize that the two cities are of comparable size.
    Is there just something inherently lame about KC?

    ReplyDelete
  9. You know, the next guy who whines about everything in Portland being so much better should get up off his lazy ass and move there if they think KC is so horrible.

    And I would guess five minutes after moving there, they'd start whining about how great Seattle is.

    As for the notion that op-ed columnists should always "reflect the voice of the community", oh, so that's what they are supposed to do? Merely regurgitate opinions that "the community" already holds?

    Here's an idea. You don't like opinions that don't match yours? Don't read them. Stay stuck in your narrow little worldview.

    It' not the people complaining about KCMO v Portland. It's the endless cheerleading about how KCMO IS WORKING TO BECOME LIKE PORTLAND or Austin, or all these other "innovation capitals" of the country.
    Kansas City is a great place to live for all the choices of housing, great schools in some areas, amenities like the Nelson Gallery and the Zoo, professional sports, ease of getting around, and all the rest.
    But the endless rah rah driven by an inferiority complex of wanting to make believe the city's something that it's not gets tiring and embarrassing.
    And as we will all shortly see with the streetcar, very expensive.

  15. Yale is just part and parcel of the Socialist agenda being shoved down our collective throats by our liberal overlords in the 4th Estate, Hollywood and the new demographic.

    The KC Red Star is an agenda driven publication, as is the Chicago Tribune, LA Times and dozens of others, most notably the New York Times. The sins of ommission, fabrication and obfuscation with regard to the actual news and rational extrapolation with regard to same, cannot be underestimated.

    1. How, Chuck, is the Star shoving anything down your throat? How is that different from what you do every day with your racist paranoid rants and Nazi-wing links to random black violence that you try to get your inbred supporters to believe represents the actions of the entire race?

  21. "But the endless rah rah driven by an inferiority complex of wanting to make believe the city's something that it's not gets tiring and embarrassing."

    Amen! And to the point that "The Star should be like the Oregonian". Well, guess what? The Oregonian has the same problems with a rapidly disappearing advertising base that the Star has.

    I have a co-worker who moved here from San Francisco four years ago. He was amazed at the house he could buy here with the EQUITY from the house he sold in Frisco.

    And he still laughs great big guffaws whenever he hears a Kansas Citian complain about traffic.

    He said about the only thing he ever misses is great Chinese food, but the barbecue makes up for it.

    As a great Democrat once said, you are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.

    Your subjective conjecture is the same as mine, with the difference being, I back mine up with facts and real time examples as seen in the news.

    I don't read Yale unless TKC posts him.

    You hang on my every word.

    For that, I am flattered and thank you.

    Gotta go to work.

    1. I back mine up with real-time black friends, some of them professionals who grew up in well-to-do families, some of them you adults working two jobs becuse they reject the violence and entitlement mentality you so quickly ascribe to the masses with not even a hint of suggestion that most black folks reject the same vile acts you present as part of their very DNA.

      I also know some white folks who drive their big Confederate flag-emblemed pickups around spewing hate against toward blabks even as they themselves couldnt come close to surviving without their disability checks and women who work fulltime to support their lazy asses.

      Point is, the behaviors you portray as reflective of an entire culture are instead the acts of low-life assholes with unfortunate upbringing and plenty of likeminded morons who glorify and encourage the status quo because they dont know any better, regardless of their skin color.

  25. 8:17: Thanks. As a person who has actually lived in several cities, including Austin and the Bay Area, I think Kansas City has a lot to offer, not the least of which is affordable housing. After all, if you have to spend all your money on housing (and if you think that's an exxaggeration, check the prices of housing in the Bay Area), life's not going to be much fun.

    As for Yael, he's not so bad. He pretty much called it on the translational medical tax, and he admitted his support for Funky was a mistake. I'd favor the Star's reviewing keeping Jenee and Gusiwelle before throwing Yael under the bus.

    I do think Ruckus should consider replacing Mary O with someone succinct and polite enough not to interrupt everyone else.

  26. Jesus, talk about a vicious bunch of drooling right-wing fuckwits ... the guy is just a newspaper columnist you don't agree with, not the antichrist. So what? Read something else. Whoever you are, whatever your views, there will be people you don't agree with. Who fucking cares?????? PS: The Star, like almost every big-city paper, is going down, and it will happen even if they print Rush on the front page every day. Newspapers are over. And so are you.

  27. chuck never explodes with rant till he is provoked. I do have to agree chuck does back his shit up and Yael as a rule can't back shit up when he lets something fly out his piehole

  30. They fire award winning journalists doing original reporting and then only give this useless douchebag a pay cut? What moron designed that business model?

    You can tell The Star is going down because they've given up any thought of saving it, just dragging it out for the chosen few as long as possible.

    Yael and the rest of the affirmative action brigade will take this because it's the unemployment line for them if they don't like it.

  38. 922: The right wing zealots who post on this blog just don't have enough to do.

    The point of contact for that group sits around this site refleshing the page on a 15 minute interval hoping Tony will post a picture of a local chick so he can get would over making a cum post, which somehow gives him pleasure.

    Yael is a columnist in a local paper that you don't agree with. Why the fuck should your opinion be of ANY interest to anyone other than you and your mom?

    I got to stop my weekly visit to this blog. Everytime I read these posts my, already modest, IQ drops 10 points.

  57. 6:47AM TV Guide has funny stuff!!

    A large part of the distaste for Fael Abracadabra is his attitude. He does frequently come across as a self-appointed know-it-all with his mind made up, and no interest in considering other's viewpoints. If you've seen him on Ruckus, you can't forget the whiny complaining voice, animated facial expressions, the unnecessary argumentativeness, and frequent jabs that he doesn't agree with the premise of Mike's questions. What would this little Woody Allen do if he lost his Falling Star gig?

Now for those that are too stupid to add, blacks population is 40,808,825; while whites are 225, 624,923. With those numbers in mind It's rough being white.

    The only really witty people I've seen on Ruckus are Woody Cozad, Steve Mirakian, Crosby Kemper, and of course the host Mike Shanin. So, Mike should eliminate the other 3 chairs and just do a one-on-one interview with the guest to his right.

    It seems MATH was NOT your finest subject either!!!

    At 11:54, you said, regarding U.S. population, "Blacks were 13.1% and Whites were 77.9%" You then accused everyone else of being too stupid to add.

    OK Retardo, it goes like this, 13.1% (+) 77.9% = 91% for Blacks & Whites, according to you. This only leaves 9% remaining for Latinos, Asians, Natives, etc.

    If everyone knows that Latinos/Hispanics are now the largest minority group in the U.S., surpassing the Black population, THEN your data is OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT!!!!

    Better re-ask your question, who's "too stupid to add"? and for the answer, take a look in your own mirror!!! Mirror, mirror on the wall who's a retard after all? 11:54 is the RETARD said the mirror.
