Sad to see Brandi go. See was a journalist in the true sense. She is much different and a breath of fresh air than the “News readers” we have today in our local media looking for that viral tweet, head shot, or bikini photo to impress their followers.
Brandi, I wish you well and look forward to see where you land.

Brandi – thank you for your contribution in bridging the divide. I have sorely missed you on Sunday mornings and will be paying close attention to where you go next. Q13 has made a poor decision. We need your voice – the voice of reason.

Peter says:
So will 13 hire more fancies who dress funny to replace her and entertain the audiences? Because informing them is probably not their priority anymore.

Chris Stevenson says:
I hope Brandi goes independent like Alison Morrow. She won’t have media overlords breathing down her neck and she can report what she wants.

Adam Lynn says:
She ‘bridged nothing.’ She was only interested in furthering her brand. Her grim faux concerned appearance delivering an opinion when no one watched, buried in earlt Sunday mornings. Legend in her own mind that the new GM didn’t want. KTTH will hire her to do a program to save their dropping conservative ratings, almost out of the top 25. Rantz is her buddy. Takes one to know one.

They’ve gone liberal. Look at the weekend morning news line up. Catering to Burn Loot Murder dictates. I too am dome with them. They used to be my “go to” station.

uh …dude…. they are getting -rid- of the liberal-ish personalities and reporters and turning Q13 into some weird righty butt-tighty la dee dah station. I keep waiting to hear actual news on it instead of someone elses news rehashed.

Sad to see Brandi go. She was the reason I watched my local news station. I loved the neutral platform she provided us with in regards to “real” journalism and politics. As a viewer, we were able to get both sides of the coin, so to speak. Decipher and digest our own opinions with her honest investigative journalism. She will be missed. Best to you Brandi!
Your BIG loss at Fox Q13.

Brandi was the ultimate professional on KCPQ, and was able to “cut to the chase” in her reporting, separating the gossip from facts. I loved it. Brandi is National News worthy — and should go far. I’m a news junkie, and now I have to search harder to hear the real news — not the sensational good-for-tv crud that we’re mostly being fed these days. I miss her.

Brandi’s heart was in the right place but her right leaning tendencies almost always came out in the end.

Brandi Kruse is a journalist that gives her viewers the honest facts, not fake news just the true honest facts. Something journalist don’t do today. I would rank her with some of the greats like David Brinkley, Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw, and Peter Jennings. I miss starting my Sunday off with “The Divide”. She is already missed on Fox 13 News. Best of luck Brandi in your new beginnings.

Great Political reporter. She will be missed.

kinda wonder just how a true journalist who doesn’t do fake news could survive at a fox fake news owned company for long now that they are asserting their management will

Kevin Ramsdell says:
How bad must Fox 13 management be to lose the best journalist in the area?

Brandi was our last hope. Washington State is no longer part of America.

It’s really saddens me that someone as good as brandy at bring us the truth. about the real news and these dishonest policies that our crooked politicians and crooked elections have force down our throats over and over again.I just wish more people would wake up and open their eyes to what’s going on. and I want to thank you brandy for the time and work you did. you were awesome. And thanks for not folding to there agenda it’s time to wake up Washington and pay attention.

Noqw I see her doing a commercial for 15/30 Mortgage. Not working for corporate media, but pitching corporate finance outfit?? Moral ground ceded.

Steve Wedlund says:
Brandi was my only reason for watching. Honest reporting. Now that’s gone, nothing to watch.

Ernie Pyle says:
just saw that commercial-she gotta pay the rent, but…
BK could have shown true journalistic integrity by a parting shot editorial about all the demonstrably False Covid BS that Fox13 and all other local news shoves down viewers’ throats every. F’ng. Night. They are all indistinguishable from Pharma-Rep robots…

Dennis Weber says:
I’m not surprised that she is gone. After 7 years in this area I would say that there is no tolerance in Seattle for journalistic integrity or objectivity.

Brandy, your honesty will be missed. You along with weather and traffic were the only honest ethical people at that station. Liz and the other phonies get the mute button. Now am weather has become a talk show with the new self absorbed jerk rambling on and on.

I will really miss you, we came home from AZ to find that your gone, I loved hearing your comments on every aspect of life. You have a way about you and you come across so honest. We will miss that!
