Silly Lawsuit

  • Former television reporter Amy Jacobson and her husband, Jaime Anglada, filed suit in Cook County Circuit Court on Monday seeking more than $1 million in damages from CBS Broadcasting Inc. and several employees for airing a video of her last year at the home of Craig Stebic, the husband of a missing Plainfield woman.

    Jacobson was fired from WMAQ-Ch. 5 a year ago after a rival station, CBS-owned WBBM-Ch. 2, aired video of her in a bikini top with a towel around her waist at the Stebic home. Jacobson has said she was on her way to the East Bank Club with her children when she got a call from Craig Stebic's sister, who invited Jacobson to the house to talk.
If we recall, she got fired, not for going to the Stebic home in a bikini with her two minor children, but for lying to her employer and cooperating with the police investigation. We don't see how CBS is responsible for here being filmed in public committing lapses in judgment. Isn't that what the media tries to hang us on every single day?

Speaking of Brilliance; have you seen the new order on OFF DUTY traffic accidents.

If it is a PERSONAL injury accident AND the field officer identifies one of the driver's as a po, he must notify his W/C.

A field Lt. or W/C must then respond to the scene to determine impairment and take appropriate action if necessary. ie order you to blow.

?????????????????????????

Wow, does this include intoxicated bosses who drive off-duty in their take home squads???
As much as I am not a fan of the ACLU, this one sucks the big one and we need some cocky civil rights attorney..we should not be micromanaged any way while off-duty.

Well said SCC. Amy Jacobson is a stuck up fucking bitch. I remember when she was a reporter with Ch. 5 and she would drive out to an Area 4 murder in her bronze Nissan Murano dressed up like she was working at Gibson's on Rush. She would do everything in her power (and pants) to get a beat cop or a detective to give her the heads up on the murder. Thank God she was usually given the same courtesy (NONE) that she and her newsroom would give a policeman if we asked her for some help.

Fuck her and the LAZY Chicago media who regularly steal stories from this blog or simply fabricate the stories to fit their needs. She got caught and the she put her kids in harms way for the "glory" of the story.

Isn't sweet little Amy a sidekick on Roe Conn's afternoon AM radio show now?

An Area 4 Detective.

Liars,ooops,I meant lawyers:

Body: The madam opened the brothel door in Miami and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in his late forties or early fifties.

'May I help you sir?" she asked.'I want to see Valerie,' the man named Richard replied.

'Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else', said the madam.

'No, I must see Valerie,' he replied.

Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to Richard she charged $5000 a visit. Without hesitation, Richard pulled out five thousand dollars and gave it to Valerie , and they went upstairs. After an hour, he calmly left.

The next night, Richard appeared again, once more demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row as she was too expensive. But there were no discounts. The price was still $5000.

Again, Richard pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left.

The following night Richard was there yet again! Everyone was astounded that Richard had come for a third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs.

After their session, Valerie said to him , 'No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?'.


The man replied, ' Delray Beach '.



'Really', she said. 'I have family in Delray Beach .

'I know.' Richard said. 'Your sister died, and I am her attorney. She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance.



'


The moral of the story is that three things in life are certain.






1.



Death


2.



Taxes


3.



Being screwed by a lawyer

Off topic: Went with family to do some much need grocery shopping. Made sure to head out to Dupage County. Grocery bill came to just over 2 hundred dollars. How much was the tax? A whopping 1%!!! Awesome!!! Gas was 5 cent's cheaper and the place where we shopped gave a coupon that allowed me to collect 15 cents for every gallon pumped and was paid to me in cash. I got $2.25 back. I know that's not much but it was nice.

You are so right. I had to laugh out loud when I read the story about her law suit. She isn't going to win this one, that's for sure.
As others have said, she was a mediocre reporter at best, and wasn't even "easy on the eyes" as most in her business should be. No big loss to the Chicago area. I'm still all covered in goosebumps knowing that the same shit that she loved to dish out bit her square in her flat ass.

"If we could only get these competing news stations/papers to start killing each other; then we could go back to brutalizing the ghetto and bring the crime rate down to decent levels.

Pathetic attempt by troll to stir up shit.


Note:

1st, make statement calculated to foster a sense of agreement:

("If we could only get these competing news stations/papers to start killing each other;")


2nd, slip in a statement, subtle in nature, that promotes your twisted agenda:

("then we could go back to brutalizing the ghetto")


3rd, conclude with another seemingly positive and difficult to disagree with statement:

("and bring the crime rate down to decent levels.")


Then finish with a statement that attempts to connect with the, presumed to be, commonly held feelings of your target(s):

("Lets get STEINBERG drunk and send him crashing thru that window at ch7 swinging a ballbat during the 4pm broadcast.(those aint the Flynn/Daly folks no more!).......")



Propaganda techniques as old as time.


Fuck this sneaky, twisted bastard.

Anybody who has been there knows it effects your better judgement.

At this point I think she's desperate and listening to bad advice. She may still be swimming at the bottom of the bottle.

Somebody should give her a job on the condition she goes to AA.

If a guy like Quarters Boyle or Father Pflger deserves a second chance so does Amy Jacobsen.

Secret ghetto investigations. Ohhhh I'm so important. Lookie me, mom, I'm wrapping the crime scene tape on the news.

You're a garbage man for people. No one gives a fuck about what happens on the south and west sides of this city. Just because its on the cover of the local rag, doesn't mean its important.

No one gives a fuck about you or your work or if you find one rock or two. Your work is meaningless. Your work is your life, so your whole life is meaningless.

Once you retire, you'll realize this. Then, you'll just roll over and die like most retirees in the first year off, where they actually look back on their life and realize how meaningless and stupid it all was.
