This list was hard to do because I wanted to limit it to 10. These fine individuals represent the worst of what Kansas City media has to offer. 1. Kevin Kietzman - The biggest hypocrite in KC media. This guy has run down every athlete to ever make it big in the city (that didn't kiss his ass) for their lack of family values etc.. YET threw away his own marriage to go after the daughter of an advertiser. His hatred for KU is legendary yet he claims to have no bias. If he tells you the sky is blue, look out the window and double check. He covers up his lack of sports knowledge by making everything out to be a controversy and will sell his soul for ad revenue.
2. Hearnes Christopher - Covering the Kansas City "Scene" is like covering summer in the North Pole. Who can forget the story that he broke regarding...................................
3. Jeffery Flannagan - How this guy still has a job is beyond me. He makes his living off of covering angles that nobody cares about and posting sports radio arbitron ratings. There are at least 20 KC sports blogs in this city with more insight and timely takes that Flannagan provides his readers.
4. Ash-har Quraish - The Grimm Reaper of KC. He makes his living off of ruining the lives of people in the metro.
5. Katie Horner - The weather is about her and not your safety(despite what she says). The only weather person with less skill and more hype in the United States only comes out once a year and predicts the weather by looking at his shadow. Maybe Katie should try that.
6. Entercom Radio - They have all but ruined radio in Kansas city. These guys have butchered everything they have touched in the past 3 years. From 610 sports losing Jason Whitlock to the mass exodus at 980 etc... they have become a joke.
7. Mike Hedricks - This idiot gives JOCO a bad name and is completely unreadable.
8. Neal & Marty - This is the worst radio show that the KC market has ever seen. The fact that these two assclowns still have a job is baffling to everyone that listens to sports radio. People with CB radios reading box scores off of I70 would be an upgrade.
9. Devon Lucie - On the list because his name is Devon Lucie. Other than that the guy is the best at Channel 5 weather.
10. Steve Rose - This guys ego is bigger than his talent. The fact that people actually listen to what this guy has to say cracks me up.

Oooooooh, the hopes I had for this post. I wholeheartedly agree with #1, never has someone with less knowledge/skill received this much attention for his opinions.
But, I can't believe that more KCTV5 personalities didn't make this list. Karen Fuller couldn't pass the GED if you gave her 10 chances. Brad Stephens would be begging for cash on the Plaza if he didn't have a cleft chin.
And then, I must take issue that Jack Harry is not on the list. My 10 month old son has more sports acumen than that jackass. Sure he somehow gained the freedom to spout opinion on the local news, but if your opinion is as stupid as his, I don't think you should be given that large a forum.
I'm sure I'm leaving someone off my personal list, but those 3 jumped out at me. It kills me that our media personalities are no smarter than a public school teacher.
LOL. Like I said the hardest thing about this post was to shorten it to 10. Jack Harry got a pass strictly due to him picking the Jayhawks to win in football.
I tried to spread the wealth amongst all the outlets.
Thanks for your comments, glad you are checking out the blog.
Good post...couldn't agree more with #1 and #5.
Thanks Nick. Those two were the biggest no brainers of the group.
Ahem, what about Maria Antonia?
(Make sure you read her name in a Cuban accent)
Does anyone remember Natalie Moultrie from Channel 9 First News? So. Bad.
Homegirl got the boot I'm pretty sure
