Only in Redding California
Is it any wonder why some of the people in Redding, CA. are not the sharpest tacks in the box?
I have lived in Redding, CA. for over 17 years now, and have seen the city go from a rural relaxed, laid-back, sort of town to a Bay Area infested pit of congestion, rudeness and massive homosexual influx within the business community…..
Even our local TV News is an embarrassment. We now have newscasters with unpronounceable names, and look like they have faces made for radio….Ham Radio.
Now Chico, channel 24, has a young man? who sounds so blatantly sissified that he makes all hurtful homo impressions sound masculine. Except for these one or two freaks of nature, KNVN TV 24 is the one channel that is close to professional, with decent looking anchors and talking heads, so why do we get all the freaks, losers and weirdos on television and radio, here in Redding? That will be for another post on another day, I suppose. And don’t even get me started on KQMS 1400 Radio and the unprofessional backwoods hacks who work there. but I digress……………..
No, this is not why some of the people here are less than intelligent, but this does add to our “Hire anyone to fill the need” mentality of local businesses which have not experienced this type of growth before in Redding, OK, I am getting to the original thought behind this post, which is…..The Redding Record Searchlight, or as my neighbor Dave likes to call them, The “Record Flashlight”. This news paper went from an afternoon daily to a sometimes morning and evening News? Paper. However the people who work and run this modern day marvel of failure, called a newspaper, leave a lot to be desired. I believe that some of their employees must be disgruntled Ex Wal-Mart employees who were fired for stupidity, or who one day, just forgot where they worked and eventually just showed up at the Record Searchlight. and since no one there was awake to notice this, these new employees just blended in and now are, apparently, running the paper’s Internet site, and only because they were ever so slightly worse at spelling than the paper’s proof readers. (that’s really hard to imagine…being worse at spelling than a Record Searchlight proofreader)
The reason that I am being so critical of this bad excuse for a newspaper is that I like to Garage Sale and for over a year now, the Record Searchlight has been screwing around with this section of their classifieds, making it difficult, at best, to navigate and make use of this section. Oh they have always had month or week old ads for sales with the current ones, making you accidentally write down, or even show up at a sale that was over weeks ago, but that is not my complaint!
The site looks promising with a Map Quest map and all, now if only Scripps and the other out of area owners, CEO’s Whomever would only finally realize that their Redding Paper is a failure, using a non functioning corporate template, which no one there seems to know how to get to work right..
I was browsing the list of sales this morning and found 9 of them in my area, so I attempted to map them with the nice looking map quest map on their site…….did not work, so I went back to write them down manually but they were now gone….poof!
I re-checked and re-selected everything that I had before but no luck, however I did get a surprise……Take a look and notice the distances on these sale listings for Redding California…. At least they are not last weeks.

I think Erin does a a good job with fairly limited resources over at KQMS. I would probaly agree with your criticism of the Record Searchlight, but I cancelled my subscription about a year ago when I realized it was a waste of time.
