I've written before about Omaha TV News, the blog that in the past has attacked Jimmy Siedlecki mercilessly and has had nothing but praise for Siedlecki's co-anchor on the WOWT morning show, Malorie Maddox.
The blogger, who publishes anonymously, using the name of a character from the movie "Anchorman" and posting actor Will Ferrell's photo on the blog, turned on Ms. Maddox this morning with a vengeance.
Anyone who thinks I have been vicious with local TV anchors and reporters should read this blog. You have to search to find anything positive and hopefully considering the high esteem in which many of the Turner Report readers hold the former KODE co-anchors, this blog is not that powerful in the Omaha market.
In the past, the blogger has compared Siedlecki to actor Jim Nabors' Gomer Pyle character, even running side-by-side photos of the two of them, which he claims look alike. (I did not see any similarities.)
Today, he launched the following broadside on Ms. Maddox: "Her predilection for fake fingernails cheapened her otherwise pristine appearance, and she had a somewhat nasal voice and, um, 'vowel issues.' At first we chalked it up to her southern Kansas upbringing; it seemed like a bad habit she'd outgrow. But after nearly a year of hearing her talk to 'Scawt' Akin about the cold 'timps' across the 'Heartlund,' it's clear that her pralking toblems aren't going anywhere."
Of course, his main target is still Siedlecki, whom he blames for all of Ms. Maddox's "problems."
Sounds like it's time for a cage match. The cage shall be constructed of constantine wire.
