A fairly high-profile ex-tv news director has a bizarre, on-going beef with tv personality Brandi Kruse: “You said it was a ‘hard look’ at news…..yeah, so you interview an old buddy from KIRO radio and C.R, who, for years, has been a fulltimer and contributor at your own station, AKA revolving door. Then you show us ‘behind the scenes’ at your own company__WOW! How about going to the TIMES or the TNT or KOUW. How incestuous this was.. This was a handout show. .I am sure you will have excuses, but this content was not even close to a ‘hard look.’ How about inviting Kate Starbird from UW who has deeoly reasearched the fake news topi?. How about a true journalist, not a radio host at night when no one listens. Puhleeze. Weak.” (Wayne Lynch to Brandi Kruse)
Kruse responded, and asked Lynch to stop contacting her.
He declined this request, instead sending her a string of increasingly angry emails. In one, he called her “Miss Fragile.”
