Stupid News Executive Alert

TV Executive Arrested At Logan Now In Treatment
BOSTON (WBZ) WHDH Channel 7 announced Thursday that general manager Randi Goldklank is now undergoing medical treatment after an allegedly drunken tirade Sunday night that ended with her arrest at Logan Airport. “The unfortunate events of last Sunday night were unanticipated and Ms. Goldklank is deeply regretful,” said Ed Ansin, president of Sunbeam Television Corp. in a prepared statement. Mike Carson, the station’s previous general manager will take over on a temporary basis while Goldklank remains on administrative leave. According to a State Police report, Goldklank, 40, of Boston, threatened to put a trooper on TV and ruin his life, after screaming and creating a disturbance at the gate of her incoming flight Sunday night. According to the police report obtained by WBZ, “She began flailing her arms and stated ‘leave me alone, do you know who the (expletive) I am? I’ll have a news crew down here in minutes and you will lose your (expletive) jobs you (expletive).”
I can just see the new reality series: News Station Managers Gone Wild… Pretty funny how the mighty can fall, yet still feel mighty, under the presence of alcohol.
