Designated hitter

Cathy Seipp goes to bat for Sandra Tsing Loh in her fight with KCRW one more time in today's CityBeat.

The problem at KCRW wasn’t really that Big Brother was watching, but that Big Sister overreacted. Blaming the FCC for Ruth Seymour’s foolish move seems like blaming Beavis and Butt-Head for some idiot kid’s setting his house on fire.

She confirms something I assumed but wondered about: Allan Mayer of high-powered crisis communications firm Sitrick and Co. took on Loh's case pro bono (he hired both Loh and Seipp when he was editor of Buzz magazine, back when). Also noted: I've been slow to catch on that Seipp has settled in as a regular contributor to the conservative fray at National Review Online. Her columns run under the banner of "From the Left Coast."
