Presumably she didn't know about the allegations. Talking to a dog may be better.

I have to comment on this. Jon Fredericks is the BIGGEST DICK on TV, that guy
is totally out of it, he thinks he's funny and he's not. Do we really need to
hear him reprimanding "Jordan" (his dog - he takes him to work) while he is
supposed to be doing the weather? And, who in hell sends in birthday wishes to
their animals!!! I thought Christopher Nance and Fritz Coleman were
fruitcakes, this guy has them beat hands down!! Forget about the news, there
is none..."Breaking news at 11" - "Mrs Jone's cat up a tree" - or some
mutilated body found in a trash bin!! GMAB!! Don't tell me to change the
channel - KVBC is the best of the bunch, the rest are even worse!!
KTLA makes these guys look like a high school communications course!!
OK - Rant off!!
++++++++
Which brings up a particularly interesting rant I have. WHY is it
that Las Vegas is such a crappy market for on-air TV news (and
weather) personalities? WHY can't this market get some TALENT with
actual "talent"? I mean, these people can't freaking READ the
TelePrompTer, let alone pronounce names correctly! Vegas is a
running JOKE in TV land! And the weather forecasters! How freaking
difficult is it to forecast the weather in Las Vegas? HOT today,
hotter than HELL tomorrow! For this they need to devote 5 minutes of
the nightly broadcast to some twit in a bow tie (even if he IS
married to Melinda).
Oh well, rant off......

The advantage of having John on staff...he can legitimately call someone a bitch. But not a bunt. (Suomi heh.)
