The Daily Buzz

I really enjoy The Daily Buzz. It is a great alternative news source, and I must say, nice and relaxed. Keep up the great work. This is an article that appeared last week. I was wondering if you could do a follow-up on it and determine if the manager was terminated.

Wal-Mart Workers Accused of Shooting Cat

Thursday, December 30, 2004

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — Two Wal-Mart (search) employees who police say followed a MANAGERS ORDERS to shoot and kill a stray cat have been charged with federal animal cruelty. The men, both assistant managers at the Supercenter, were arrested and released after a court appearance Wednesday. Christopher Anderson, 29, and Jeffrey Hardin, 21, told police the store's manager ordered them to get rid of the animal that was living in a storage trailer behind their store. All managers potentially involved in the incident have been suspended without pay pending an internal investigation and could be fired, said Wal-Mart spokeswoman Sharon Weber. "We were outraged when we learned of this incident. This kind of action is completely inconsistent with the way we do business," she said. A truck driver who reported the incident said he saw store employees placing what he believed to be a dead animal in shrink wrap a day after he heard workers joking about shooting the cat. Store manager Darrel Weitzel told police he had told some of his employees to get a gun and get rid of the cat after attempts to coax it from the trailer failed, according to a police report.

Thanks again Daily Buzz

I do enjoy all the cameramen also laughing and throwing out their comments. I love when a stupid topic comes up and you hear the cameramen yell " what"? I think the show is really fun to watch and we still hear all the terrible things that happen in this world

My wife and I started watching the Daily Buzz when we moved here in August, 2003. It's the best morning show. Take 1/2 the zaniness of your average radio show, and 1/2 the news of your average network show, and throw in a dose of charisma, and you've got the Daily Buzz. I love the fact that it's not an "ego-driven" show, like with Katie Couric or Paula Zahn. The three anchors interact with the crew, and their special correspondents, such as Clayton (Clifton!) Morris and Dao Vu, are treated as friends in making the strangest yet most entertaining morning show around. The show seems to be a small budget morning show out of Cincinatti or Indianapolis. It should get more money and more recognition, because it deserves it.

I always hated newscasts. They were always bad new and usually boring. The crew on the daily buzz does it with a sense of humor. It is a FUN show to watch. You never know what is going to happen. Comments take you by surprise and it is always entertaining. When you turn it off, you then realize that you have also gotten the news and it didn't leave you in a bad or depressed mood. Mitch is just plain crazy to watch, always a nut. Clayton is very witty and full of wisecracks. John Brown was very intelligent and good in seeing the other sides of things but funny as well as great looking (unfortunately the buzz has let him slip through their hands, bad move on their part) He was great morning eye candy as well. Andrea Jackson is cute, perky and also has a great sense of humor too. She rolls with the punches. They play good music clips as well. Daily tidbits make you never want to miss this program!!! A must see, watch a couple of shows and you'll be hooked!

All I can say is there is no other news program I would rather wake up to. I was sad to see John Brown gone but I still love all the staff. The staff has such great chemistry together. I can watch the news and feel that I am getting a genuine perspective. The staff presents questions showing the person in them. I am always sad when it ends and after I stop watching I feel happy and ready to go for the day. I wish more notice would be made of this show. Other news shows are so serious and all about making the public worry about something new and a new problem. Watching this show makes me laugh and I recommend it to everyone who wants to start their day off with a smile.
