I am hearing these negative comments about Channel 12 which in some cases may or may not be true. I am a solid Channel 12 watcher. I have turned to Channel's 6 and 8 at times and have not been impressed with these stations. I have noticed that those stations have a tendency of jumping right on it and having live footage of accident sights in which they show fresh accident victims. I don't feel this would be right due to the fact that some of the family members may not know about the accidents and all of the sudden get a shock when they see a family member in pieces on the freeway. There are some things that do not need to be shown. I am disagreeing with all of you that are being so negative towards Channel 12. I think you need to wake up and realize that will be media for you no matter where you go or what you watch, media coverage is going to be similar, just take a look at it, and if you don't like something that one news channel's doing, then I guess you should stop watching the news all together. I'm sure there are more important issues to complain about if you really think about it. If you don't like it, guess what, change the channel.

The lead reporter for the KPTV-12 I-team (KErry Tomlinson) was terminated form an NBC affiliate in Spokane for making up stories.... You would think she would be out on the street but she gets a job with good old KPTV. WOW.

They filed the following to the above Rip-Off Report: Their email: [email protected] Their name: Fred Seamus Their relationship to the company: Consumer Suggestion Rebuttal: As a fellow Portlander, I have followed this as well, almost a year now. I Team 12 is nothing more then a grubby news hungry deal. I have seen many reports that are downright untrue. When did local news go so far as to lie for a story when there is so much truth to report on? Don't trust a word they say, in fact, tune into the other stations in town. -F. Seamus

You know, this is not the first time I have heard about channel 12 doing this sort of thing.
I watch KOIN 6 news for the most part, because of things like this that I have heard. It's just so wrong. I know it's not the first time 12 has pulled this kind of stunt to get ratings.
