Jillian represents the moronification of Los Angeles. I stopped watching Good Day LA in '07 when she discussed her favorite vibrator on the Christmas Eve show. During the Phil Spector trial, I did overhear a Fox employee laughing with an ABC 7 reporter how Jillian didn't know what the word nefarious means, or even how to pronounce it. She very often had no clue about what she was reporting until Steve Edwards or Dorothy Lucey would educate her about the topic at hand.

So sad we lose Jane Monreal at ABC 7, who has a brain, is educated, and multi-talented whereas Jillian just shows cleavage and brags about how she just had lunch with some B-list celebrity, and appears quite proud that she's ignorant. She'd never make it in another major market (Chicago, NY, SF) where education and knowledge are still held in high esteem by the local television viewers.

But isn't the real question here -- Why does James Rainey keeps his job when legit and credible journalists lose theirs at TRIBUNE and THE LA TIMES? It's depressing. The guy referenced a Howard Stern interview Reynolds did over a month ago. Agenda much Rainey? I don't know maybe it's me. but Tribune, KTLA and The LA Times are all the same company. KTTV ratings have soared above KTLA's for years, and like it or not, it is thanks in large part to Reynolds. Don't know what the point of Rainey's column was. I don't think he did either quite honestly. It rambled, made no sense, and was way out of context. TRIBUNE gave him his marching orders to do something/anything to take down their competitors at FOX. It was pathetic, negligent reporting which is what Rainey does best. To purposely omit the important fact that KTTV is the highest rated morning show in LA is too obvious for words. You know it too Jimmy. You've got no dignity.

Message for Jake -- Dude the point is she IS making it in the #2 market in the country! You don't have to watch. Your viewership hasn't affected their ratings since you tuned out in 07. And as you so nefariously put it "I did overhear a Fox employee laughing with an ABC 7 reporter how Jillian didn't know what the word nefarious means, or even how to pronounce it." Come on man you know that isn't true. Fox employees don't laugh with ABC reporters. You're not even in the business, well not really anyway.

Green = Envy = "Jake"

Get over it. We know who you are. Now get back to sharpening those pencils and buying tampons for your boss (figuratively speaking of course).

Dear ratings guru Matt: LA is the #2 market in viewership, not in income or educational levels - duh. Perhaps all the unemployed high school dropouts fancy Jillian since the maturity level and intellectual pleasures are about at the same level.

Jakey -- That how the world of markets work, more people mean higher market share. You know that you and your nefarious way are in the biz right? And check your facts before you start quoting income and education levels, it just ain't so. K? And while were at it...you wax poetic about Ms. Jane Monreal and her brains and education, while Ms. Reynolds is all cleavage. Well there's more to Jane than that! Check out janemonreal.com and the photo site sec. There's plenty of cleavage and short skirts on display courtesy of Ms. Monreal and her multi-talents. Nothing wrong with that, and she is gorgeous, just saying that the news baby, and Jillian Reynolds blazed that trail for women just like Ms. Monreal, so get real and deal with it.

Jillian ignore the nasty comments....you're lovely, funny, smart, great decorator and dresser. Congrat to you and your family on the soon to be new arrival!

Looks like I'm going to have to read up some more, but this was a really good place to start.

It seems that I am in the wrong blog :P anyway nice blog man!

I appreciate you taking the time to write all this up for us; it's great to hear another point of view. Thanks so much, and I'll be back for more great reading!
