KCBS Channel 2 is misleading the L.A. Times about the status of former anchor Gretchen Carr, says Ron Fineman. The paper reported the station claims Carr has been off the air recovering from a broken foot. Fineman has been reporting for weeks that Carr, to the contrary, was essentially fired and has cleared out her desk. She's also been taken off the station website, he says. According to Fineman, she got bumped in the reshuffle when new anchor Paul Magers arrived from Minneapolis.
