insider says:

– I think its very unfair to group everyone at the station into this because of charu…
Everyone knows she’s been doing things like this since she got here..factual errors, overexagerating stories, promising not to show something and doing it anyway..things other reporters have been cleaning up after her for years and she never gets in trouble by management…Too bad frank’s not here..he wouldn’t have let it happen..just like he wrote her stories for her each night…hopefully this is the final straw..because she’s smearing the station’s name while trying to get the story, at any cost….somebody hold her accountable!!!

mews has this:
– Don’t bogart that joint, Charu.
Pass it over to your cam’ra crew.”
(apologies to Fraternity of Man)

crazy joe says:
– Would Charu have to get approval to make the request for the guy to smoke?

Well it seems that WLOS has always been quick to report news of negative allegations, charges or convictions of everyone in the viewing area and beyond. But when it comes to one of their own…..well then their own code of silence is the order of the day. WLOS is truly a station of embarrassment and they need some serious restructuring. I suggest that some of the other stations that serve this viewing area be notified of this occurrence. Let them bring the heat on WLOS to force them to do the right thing and report this event fairly. Keeping it “under the rug” is not the right thing to do. I am sure Charu is a nice person but she made an error in judgement by asking him to smoke the weed for her story. Wlos is just plain wrong in their cover up efforts.
