Howard K's Arraignment - Torpedoed by KABC

Breaking NewsUPDATE 11:53 AM ET: IT'S UNANIMOUS...KABC SUCKS.

SORRY FOLKS ... KABC TV IN L.A. DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE THE ARRAIGNMENT, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED POOL CAMERA AND ARE REFUSING TO LET US PLUG IN SO WE CAN GO LIVE. A LITTLE THREATENED, KABC?

We usually don't post comments, but this one was so on point...

"A 'legitimate' news outlet is refusing to let TMZ plug in for live feed. That's because nobody with a computer or a life is going to sit through a stupid broadcast 'news' show and KABC knows the only way to get ANNY viewers is to try to block actual NEWS outlets like TMZ.

Listen, KABC. You guys suck. You are old farts in a modern world. You've lost the once sacred awe that lemming like folks used to wet themselves over. Smart people go to TMZ, Huffington, Drudge etc.

Pull your heads out and let TMZ plug in! (pun intended)"

7. KABC is not streaming live. When you go to KABC is says they are not streaming. This is about a celebrity not your everyday news story. TMZ should be there and be able to stream live. Many more people will watch TMZ then KABC.

14. KABC News is a joke of a news station. They get facts wrong and don't care. A bizarre, unprofessional group. Change the channel for real news.

15. Well if one organization is the designated pool feed, then that organization has the responsibility to see that everyone that wants access has it. I am sure that KABC did this in order to maintain exclusive online streaming coverage. This violates the purpose of the pool system.

However, Harvey you shouldn't be on here bitching about KABC's actions. You are an attorney and a journalist. You know what to do about it, just go out there and take their asses to court. The next time it may be KABC that is shut out of the story.
