@taralipinski + @JohnnyGWeir: the way you both demonized the Russian child skater -- she is 15 years old -- is crass bullying. Take out your rage & outrage on the Putin Machine, not this child? You both should reach out to her, apologize & offer support. You should be ashamed.
@taralipinski + @JohnnyGWeir Have you actually heard of Vladimir Putin? I bet Valieva & her family will be punished in some way. You should be there for them instead of maximizing your public clout in misplaced outrage at a child. She's not in charge. You are adults! For shame.
@taralipinski@JohnnyGWeir I mean let me just close this loop by saying: Do you really believe that any 15-year-old Russian Olympic athlete is in charge of their own drug regimen? Do you really believe that the Russian #Olympic Machine that forced the games to allow them would take even one chance on that?
@taralipinski and @JohnnyGWeir GTFO, you are officially part of an ugly hype organ that tears down teenaged girls. Good for you I guess? You really slayed that dragon lol. #olympics

@JanetCascadia@presswatch_Now I reached out to @KBOO board members this week but got virtually no response. "Grab the steering wheel"-- lol there is no steering wheel. Folks should just go to the Feb board meeting. Grab a wrench and get ready to rebuild the vehicle is more like it. kboo.fm/board-directors
@JanetCascadia@presswatch_Now@KBOO I reached out to the @KBOO board and suggested they bring the handful of surviving staff up to full time hours and pay them *all* a living wage. There are only 4 or 5 people left on the staff--the station is run remotely. There's nobody in there anymore.
@JanetCascadia@presswatch_Now@KBOO I exchange for bringing all the remaining @KBOO staff members up to a true living wage, I personally would become a member again and commit to raising $10,000 in 2022 to help make this possible.
