Elizabeth_Espinosa's Blog

i watch tv for my local news, and gossip. i read up about other news stories on the internet that you wont cover. like did you know that a wrestling legend died 2 days ago. sherri martel, she was in the wwe hall of fame, plus a former female champion, and one of the few women so tough that she actually took on some of the male wrestlers. well she died in her mothers home, she was only 49 years old. cops are ruling out natural causes. i'm guessing it might of been pain killer medication.

that's a important story for me, cuz i grew up watching her, but i had to do the research on the web to find that out.

i think the news paper is out of date. the news on it is mostly a day late, their are no real good way to make a update on it, and it's wasteful. they are chopping down trees everyday for a item that can only be used once.

i still think that the news on tv is the best source for news. you can't trust everything on the web. plus you guys make it more or less easier for us to understand what's going on.

great to see you back liz. i missed reading your blogs. great tan too.

Hi Elizabeth, I have my favorite reporters on T.V. but I also read my local section of the newspaper everyday. I am entertained by the reporters on television as I get information about an event or incident. You are my favorite reporter and by the way I have been watching for your reports daily again. When I watch reporters presenting it is quick and to the point.

What makes a journalist an Hispanic journalist? Does she need to speak spanish? Does she need to be progeny of spanish speakers? Does she qualify if she has Hispanic DNA yet cannot read, write, speak and understand spanish? Lady Liz, you are a top drawer journalist-- what benefit do you receive by affiliating with a subset of journalists? i feel a sense of "give her a job because she is a minority" which sucks because i want to view the best. i want nischelle to have a job because she is a great journalist who is charismatic and is attractive--not because she is a Missourian. How would you feel about changing your last name to something less hispanic sounding -- (e.g. Elizabeth Windsor, or Schmidlapp, or Lillienthal) just to experiment whether you are perceived more favorably by viewers?

Pretty in pink!!! I saw you yesterday morning Elizabeth here in Anaheim. I was going from the post office back to my home here, and noticed you out in front of the police station, curb side. I probably would've stopped and said a hello, but I saw Sgt. Martinez coming outside, so I figured you guys were going for a live shot. But anyhow... it was a nice surprise seeing you. Looks like you had a good laugh about something as I was at the stoplight there.

Ya know, I get so tired of hearing people talk about summer coming, like we actually ever have winter. Tell me when the last time you were able to wear a sweater on Christmas Day? Its been so long I cant remember.
We have had no rain, we barely got any snow in the mountains this past winter, weve already had temperatures in the hundreds and summer just arrived today. So tell me, what is so glorius about baking everyday everywhere you go, about brownouts, about water shortage higher cost of trying to stay cool?
Give me a beautiful thundershower any day.

Hi Liz! I just wanted to let you know you have a set of loyal watcher's out here in the Inland Empire..as for the question of the week. Well I just watch the news on T.V..

Hi Liz....see you on Good Day LA. You are a good news reporter, and you certainly are beautiful. I enjoy your reports and specials, however I have one critical thought, if I may. When you speak your English is perfect and you have a lovely voice. When you report on or interview anyone with an Hispanic sounding name you pronounce their name with a very heavy Hispanic accent,rolling your Rs, and we cannot always understand the name clearly. Could you please slow down a bit on the names so their name is clear to all of us who are not as fluent with Hispanic names? Thanks Liz...Love Ya!

Did you go there alone?

It seems that journalists, back about 30+ years ago seemed to do more investigative reporting. They were watchdogs for the consumers, and they seemed to relish the idea of reporting what government, companies, and powerful people were doing that was wrong. You don't get that as much anymore, you mostly find journalists who aren't all that objective (especially in their political views) who simply report what is going on, but don't dig deep to try and cure the ills of society.

Those are my thoughts.

That weird rant aside...

So Elizabeth, were you at the seminar with Governor Schwarzenegger where he talked about learning English? I thought it was the most interesting and thoughtful thing he's ever said while in office. Did you attend that meeting?
