I once got cussed out by ice machine cleanliness fanatic and Chicken Ranch nemesis Marvin Zindler of Channel 13 fame. He threatened to get me fired, but it was all just bluster.
Also, Bum Phillips got really mad at me once for asking a question he didn't like.
What did you do to get MAAAARRRRRVIIIINNNN ZINDLER mad at you?
It's a really long story but basically, our company suffered a tragedy and someone called Marvin to offer to donate money so we could buy something we lost.
Marvin was gonna make it his big story of the day.
But we weren't accepting donations because we leased the thing we lost and we were just gonna lease another one. We felt that publicly taking money to "buy" one was just wrong.
I told his producer all of that and she got mad. Then she put Marvin on the phone and he screamed every profanity in the book at me, and threated to have me fired and said I would never work in Houston again.
I realized then that the media never cared about the truth.
We wound up taking the money. Marvin got his story for the day. That's all that mattered.
