I was informed of the "fiasco" but also asked not to Report it. Out of respect, I didn't, and won't.valhallafred said:Amazing with all of the talk about ABC on this site and not a word about the Parkfest block party fiasco that got them banned from the Pepsi Arena. Come on guys, share it with the rest of the class. I'm curious to see what they say about the whole thing. Albany PD and the City are pretty ticked.
Respectfully, Let's say I report what happened. I WASN'T there. I had one person tell me what happened. ONE, not the PD, Not BC..Let's say I report false information, I am liable. No thanks! If you wanna know so g-damned bad, then call Boomer, I'm sure for $10, he'll tell ya!valhallafred said:Why Reporter? Because it might be incredibly embarassing for ABC? Maybe they should have treated the Albany PD with a little respect. They acted like complete imbeciles and deserve what they got. It probably should've been a year long ban, but that's the City's call. Your bias for ABC is disturbing. If you truly are a reporter, then you have a duty to report the truth/facts and put your personal relationships aside. By covering up for them you show your self to be untrustworthy and unreliable.
If you know, by all means, talk away...valhallafred said:I know what happened. I heard from the City what took place. Go ahead and only report the "Good Stuff" when it comes to ABC. That's your perogative. You're clearly biased and don't seem capable(or willing) of separating your personal relationships from your profession. I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised this didn't make it into the local papers. Maybe you should contact Albany PD and or the City so that you can accurately report this? I can understand why ABC would not want this to get out. I hope at the very least that there is some sort of reprimand for the ABC staffers involved. I just hope that ABC's actions don't harm other stations who do show the APD the respect they deserve.
