To quote RICH LIEBERMAN’s 415 MEDIA: “Mark Neerman was unprofessional and tormented his employees,” said a prominent source. Another source: “He (Neerman) was more than just a bad boss, this was a man who lashed out at people and ruined careers. Not just here but everywhere he worked. The really bad thing is that he’ll probably get a job somewhere else.”
(Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice)
Lieberman goes on, “It was Neerman that hired Ryan Yamamoto.” (@ KPIX)
“So toxic was his presence inside the KPIX newsroom,” Lieberman says, “I had heard Neerman was an ass but almost everyone in the TV News biz, to some degree, is a jerk, it’s the nature of the field. Only Neerman took it to an extreme. He, said a contact, ruled by fear and intimidation.”
Pass the popcorn. This should be interesting!

Cross your fingers that Rich Lieberman is wrong in this case. Hopefully, KOMO has fully vetted Neerman and all goes well.
