Rhymes With "Cage Discrimination"

Fox, baby, I love you, man, but you just can't fire an award-winning reporter like John Schwada, who's at the top of his game, consistently delivering the goods.  That's just asking for trouble.


Here's an article in the Los Angeles Times with the sub-headline that says it all:  "John Schwada is not just another pretty face on TV news, which may be why Fox 11 let the dogged journalist go."


Take it from someone with a license to sue: make a deal with Schwada to stay.

  1. I have every hope that Schwada will land somewhere where his talents will be appreciated. FOX is a bad fit for John - they are too light on serious topics, wanting just a pretty face and a soundbite. That's not John on both fronts! Watch FOX for eye candy, but watch [Fill in the blank] for serious news that matters.

  2. FOX management (especially in Los Angeles) - High strung to say the least. Very demanding yet, at the same time, short sighted.

    Oddly enough, just like their viewers in Los Angeles.

    FOX fits L.A. perfectly.

    It's like, SO Hollywood!

    Schwada old? Look at Dorthy Lucey and chris Divine, and Jilian (they're pretty LONG IN THE TOOTH.) Who the hell are they kidding at KTTV?
    Schwada's IQ is over 97.5, that's why he's out.
    It's IQ DISCRIMINATION, which will be in the future the next great CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN AMERICA!

  4. Well now that figures they would let go of one of the only real reporters.
