Greetings,
I have been reading some of the posts regrading the inaccurate reporting regarding the Keysight plant in Santa Rosa.
While I find inaccurate reporting as disturbing as most of us, I must also note that I am growing weary of this ongoing discussion.
I am taking the time to add to this conversation to suggest our efforts and energies might be put to better use if we can discover how we might help Keysight employees who have suffered loss as a result of these fires.
I know of at least one Keysight family who lost their home and possessions.
While it is reasonable to believe that most of the material losses will be covered by insurance there is, without question emotional loss and perhaps we can send some simple, yet supportive and encouraging gifts, to the Keysight campus for those
that suffered losses.
Regards,
Ken

It was a commercial TV station. We pay for it, whenever we buy something sold by their sponsors. They are supposed to be professionals, not some hack, with a free blog. They just make things up,
rather than actually do their job of investigating the news before reporting it. I worked as a Broadcast Engineer and radio & TV stations. Shoddy work like this, is the main reason that I left that field. If I did my job as poorly as the 'News' the stations
would be off the air more than they were on.
