San Francisco media blogger, Rich Lieberman, has come under fire for comments about local female television personalities, mainly news anchors and reporters. At last count, 29 women have signed a petition calling Lieberman to task for comments made on his blog, 415 Media.
“WE CRAVE SEX. It is ingrained in our society from the breakfast room to the board room. It’s in our blood –and that includes every facet of life. Personal, professional, international, national, local, and just about every walk of life including media too.
So I get fingered for stating the obvious?
Excuse me but I was, and still am, only acknowledging the obvious and it’s not that just me. I have nothing to apologize for and I won’t. Respect? Of course. Everyone gets respect here and always has. I didn’t reinvent the wheel I just got singled out because I’m an easy target.
And like I said, sex is us, always will be us, whether we like it or not and that includes our TV News anchors and reporters and it’s men and women, but you knew that. I’m just reminding you.” –Lieberman 9/6/2020
OK. We got the point.
It’s a circus in the city by the bay.

One more reason to throw away your TV. I never heard of this guy until a few hours ago. Why is he getting so much ink here?
Another reason I’m glad I threw away my TV. I had never heard of Donald Trump until he ran for president.
I think it is interesting that a blogger—has so upset these tv newscasters. It opens the door to a lot of questions.
What law is he breaking? What effect do they think their petition will have? What drove him to antagonize these people in the first place? Why is he opening himself up for attack? Why does he continue to push the issue? What effect will this have on the future of his blog, or his relationship with his allies in the business? Is he simply mental?
It’s the “Realty Internet” version of Angry Housewives of Beverly Hills. Or in this case Nob Hill (San Francisco, his territory)
That man will be buying Viagra in bulk when the day comes that he can’t raise Mr. Happy.
It seems that by posting that…which anyone of us knows would start a wildfire in SF….he was looking for controversy and a tussle. And it looks like he got one.
So his testicles never got out of junior high school, huh? He’s being picked on for that? It would be better, and certainly justified, to pick on his junior high school writing skills.
Here’s a sample of his column. Conspicuously absent are proper sentence construction, grammar, syntax and punctuation. Conspicuously evident is the banality found in his words. He needs a remedial grade school level English course.

He missed a comma. He writes as he talks. I read an article that praised this method. I tend to believe this is part of the dumbing down of journalism.
Yes, you can say he has a hard-on for tv newscasters. Rich is an attack dog and always has been. Though he has a few sources within the industry, he has also made many enemies.
