This was a surprise. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeert Case was voted the worst tv news anchor in Jackson. Roslyn Anderson was runner-up and Marsha Thompson was third. The irony is they all work for the top tv station so someone is watching them.

Linda Allen 60 (8%)

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

I didn't vote for Bert, but I would have if I would have seen the other day's live report of the woman who got stuck while attempting to retrieve her cell phone from the sewer. WLBT is still the best, but they're starting an annoying trend of responding to calls about the most trivial matters.
The results speak to the mentality of those responding. Too many people apparently confuse T&A with competency. Bert can be awfully annoying with his delivery; however, when it comes to credibility, he has no equal. You'll never in your life hear of or see Bert involved in chicanery, unfair reporting, bias or arrogance.
Interesting to see how many people did NOT vote for all the simple-minded news-readers listed in the survey. You could train a goat to do what most of them do. Or a kangaroo.
Excellent comment about the T&A. I didn't vote in this poll, don't really like voting on who you don't like. Personally, I don't really care for a popularity contest-type poll.
Bert Case is a very good reporter. There were several good ones listed in the poll.
Bert is probably the best around, but Shadow's comments make me wonder if he isn't Mr. Case himself. Bert never engaging in arrogance? How about the trip to Gov. Fordice's driveway?
The ones I thought were pretty bad didn't get many votes but then I figured it was because no one watches them so they didn't know who they were. This happened last year in the weatherman polls. The ones who led in the worst poll also led in the best poll.
I like Marsha Thompson and I think she is a hottie.
Beeeeeerrrrrrrt got the prize for worst, but only because Katina Rankin wasn't listed. She has the most annoying delivery of anybody in Jackson.
Kangfish nailed it. The reporters people rely on the most got the votes.
If something serious is going on EVERYBODY turns to beeeeeeeert for answers.
And Ros dominates the weekend ratings.
Previous comment is correct. Katina Rankin is the worst. My mom can't stand her. Don't know who is the worst between all the head cocking sideways and flirting - Katina or Marsha Thompson. When Marsha Thompson returned, I said I would never watch again, and I have kept that promise pretty much. Katina keeps Paul Williams so bumfuzzled you can't even understand what he is talking about. And even though I like Maggie Wade personally, I can't stand to hear her say "hume" instead of "home." What is wrong with these people? There's a reason WAPT has won Best Newscast again.
Not to mention all the giggling the trio-girls engage in on WLBT every afternoon. Don't know who giggles loudest....Barbie, Magpie or Miz Bell-Flynt. Totally unprofessional.
Katrina is in a category all by herself. I reckon she thinks CNN will pick her up, but that's a lost cause. The eye-batting, drama and goofy delivery put her in the bottom 5%. And, it was NOT Bert's arrogance that made headlines in the Fordice encounter. As much as I loved Kirk, it was HIS arrogance. Bert was only doing his job.
I'd be remiss if I didn't pay our host, Kingfish, his due. More than several times on this board, he's commented on breasts as if that's a gauge of broadcast competency. It's not.
Yes, Bert's finest moment was when Mr Fordice threatened to whoop his ass. I still laugh when I watch it on Youtube.
Back in the 80s, (when his hair was redder and the combover not as close to his ear) My dad and I ran into him at the old DQ on High St after prayer meeting at FBC. He and my dad talked for about 10 min over some DQ soft serve. Was actually a nice guy even though he comes across as a dipshit sometimes on the news.
The method by which stations are ranked makes the rankings worthless. They need to move to a system where there is a true count of how many folks are watching a station. Nothing may change in the rankings if that happens, but the change needs to be made to make rankings accurate and reliable.
only Bert Case has a Facebook fanclub page: https://www.facebook.com/bertcasefanclub
So he must be doing something right
1:33 nails it when he reminds us that if something serious is going on, we tune to Bert. And 9:35, without meaning to, drives home the point. His method of evaluating Bert is to call him a dipshit, I suppose because he ate ice cream after church and had a combover. Still, the fact remains that Bert is competent and relentless. We'll miss him when he retires. Just like we missed Woody.
And we have a new guy in the market doing the morning weather on WAPT, Ethan. Would hate to hear this crowd's evaluation of
Ethan, since he comes across as nerdy; but, he's as competent as they come. Who you gonna turn to, goofy Paul cracking jokes or Ethan who is serious about the weather and gives us the information we need in a crisis? Or Barbie who keeps selling her books and reminding us her parents farm at Marks?
I agree that Bert's the worse. His only claim to fame is how long he has been at WLBT. Woody was appreciated and loved, he was an absolute. Fordice would have been justified in resorting to what he threatened to do to Bert.
I agree with you, Shadowfax, in your comments about the giggling and silly comments from the afternoon fiasco with Barbie (anything for attention and calling herself a Barbie doll) and Stephanie Flynt (raucous laughter and crass comments). About the WLBT weather, Paul's lame jokes are only exceeded by his greed for the food cooked on the show. Eric Law is competent and has compassion in mentioning protecting animals. And yes, about Barbie's inappropriate advertising her books on the show (I never bought one), what about her hinting for gifts and baby blankets when she was pregnant, and her open requests for people to bring her vegetables? It is disgusting. Once she told Maggie and Howard, while on the air, that she had to "go potty", and I still laugh at the way they looked at each other, haha.
Bell-Flynt is so irksome I can hardly stand to hear or see her anymore, she is worse than a fingernail on the blackboard.
I absolutely love Eric Law. He gives the weather report competently and completely. I'm not interested in what the weather is twenty miles down the road. Can it be much different from Jxn? Why doesn't Barbie have someone reporting from County Line Rd. or better yet, the fairgrounds. And Tony. He either mumbles or has a bad mic. I can't understand a word he says.
I love Eric Law, too. I value his intelligence, and his getting to the point instead of rambling endless about things in which we have no interest! I agree that Tony mumbles, he is a nice guy, but I cannot understand what he is saying either. When there is hurricane weather moving in we need to know specifics and be able to follow what is being said. Back to Eric Law, he can provide that. All Barbie talks about is selling weather radios. She must get a commission, lol.
There is no way any of you can fault Bert for showing up and demanding answers of Fordice. That's tenacious journalism. The others would have parked a van outside the Gov's office and run up the forty foot antenna and sat in lawn chairs waiting for Andy to come down and give a statement. Bert said, 'Screw that, where's the S.O.B. live?'
When I found out years ago that Bert shares a house with Mary Weeden I told myself I would forever cut the guy maximum slack. What a trooper!
My big problem with Barbie is that every time there is bad weather and she cuts into the programming every 5 minutes to tell us about "possible rotation" way up in north Mississippi, she then launches into a pissy little lecture, chastising all of us for getting bent out of shape for her interrupting programming. In the time it takes her to get onto us, she could have delivered the news and then been done with it. When we have bad weather I do go to another station.
I never realized so many people were jealous of Barbie. She has no peers in our area. Only Woody was better.
I agree 8:24. As to peers I know of no other giggle-happy, self-important weatherperson in the market today. Some might think she's a legend, but none are as convinced as she.
Heather Sophia and her curly hair was soooo HOT.I miss her.
So true, Shadowfax, and well said.
To my knowledge nobody is "jealous of Barbie", she must have written that herself, haha. And comparing her to Woody is beyond ludicrous. If Barbie quit working at WLBT she would be forgotten in a month.
It is not my intention to sound unkind, but I like that I'm not suffering alone when Barbie interrupts programs to go on and on about the weather when she could cover it faster and when she could utilize commercials. Her preaching about our daring to complain when she interrupts programs seems abrasive and arrogant. To some she is the most tiresome person on TV, other than her giggling partner, Stephanie.
I have seen Barbie on a tractor, and have seen her prancing and playing cheerleader (why?), and I confess to laughing when I see that. As a weather person she is not impressive, and she is determined to never suggest protection of pets in bad weather, and instead says to bring in tender vegetation, which is inexplicable. Other remarks exchanged by Barbie and Stephanie regarding animals have been uncivilized.
Barbie's peers? None appear to be so self centered and without compassion.
Just my thoughts from what I have observed.
Bert Case is just a pain in the ass to listen too.
Bert would be okay doing the news, but the pretentious affectation is a little silly. Beeerrrt Case. Do any other news people sign off in such a grandiose manner? Delusions of grandeur?
Obviously Kingfish has learned a lesson from this exercise. And that lesson is that the original poll question should have been: "Which newscaster is the least hot and has the most irritating mannerisms?" Both immensely important when it comes to getting the news.
I've known Bert since he was a skinny kid with a lot of hair...whether you like him or not, he's one of the last real news reporters around. Off hand, I can't think of another reporter who asks the tough questions.
Bert knows what he is doing. He knows news. He knows Jackson and Mississippi. I grew up hearing him so I like his delivery and I think he has had an excellent career using it as his trademark/branding.
I know we have not received the go-ahead for stating the persons we like, but I would like to mention someone my family once enjoyed, who has returned to WJTV to present early morning news,
Melanie Christopher. It is nice to watch her on the early news, while we are drinking coffee. Her smiling face and elegant presentation are an uplifting way to start the day. She is sincere, unpretentious, and reminds us that there were, and are, some who are professionals, and not vexations to the spirit.
I noticed that a weather meteorologist is on the hottest reporter list; i.e. Barbie Basset, so if weather people are on the hottest reporter list where are David Hartman and
Eric Law? They are both great.
Wow, what an ass of a paper for even posting this survey. Guess the more we can take a whack at others, the less we take a look at our sorry selves. Just the fact that you all commented on this moronic article is proof enough for me you have no idea what anyone of these people have been through or done for the state. Most of you who commented couldn't even get an interview for those positions, much less deliver the news! LOL
