‘That’s messed up': Va. CBS employee reports #MemoriesPizza GoFundMe for fraud — ‘just in case’
twitchy.com ^ | april 3, 2015

Posted on 04/04/2015 9:28:48 AM PDT by lowbridge

So, who’s this Alix Bryan person? Well, as she puts it in her Twitter bio, she’s “1/3 of a kick-ass web and social media team @CBS6” in Richmond, Virginia.

-snip

She’s also a model citizen who took it upon herself to report the wildly successful GoFundMe campaign for Memories Pizza for fraud — despite the fact that she had no evidence whatsoever:

Are you kidding me? Indiana pizzeria raises $17k in an hour by being bigoted? http://www.gofundme.com/MemoriesPizza 

7:33 PM - 1 Apr 2015

Alix Bryan        ✔ @alixbryan

I have reported the GoFundMe for Memories Pizza for fraud. Just in case. http://www.gofundme.com/contact?t=donation_page_report&url=MemoriesPizza …

7:46 PM - 1 Apr 2015

Just in case?

Alix Bryan        ✔ @alixbryan

Also, that is totally acceptable to do. I also did research afterward and contacted person who started fund. @LilacSundayBlog @CBS6

1:06 PM - 3 Apr 2015

Except according to Lawrence B. Jones, who launched the GoFundMe campaign, Bryan didn’t actually, you know, contact him:

Lawrence B.Jones III @LawrenceBJones3

@alixbryan @LilacSundayBlog @CBS6 you didn't contact me.

1:33 PM - 3 Apr 2015

Dana Loesch        ✔ @DLoesch

FYI, now @alixbryan falsely claims that she contacted us in her “research.” Never happened. EVER. https://twitter.com/alixbryan/status/584039406052495360 …

Folks...check out the link at #36, and read the comments. Dana Loesch has this ‘Alix’ and Channel 6 backed right into a corner. This is how it is done.

Just FYI, the TV station is owned by Tribune (as in the Chicago Tribune), not CBS. So she’s not a CBS employee, she’s a Tribune employee.

The star anchor there on the late news brought his msnbc internship views with him.

Bill Fitzgerald

Follow me on:

Bill comes to WTVR from Raleigh, N.C. where he was the evening anchor for two years. While there, he reported on green issues including: green homebuilding, composting including vermiculture (that’s right, worms!)— and hybrid vehicles. “Since I’m driving alone 90% of the time, it makes sense for me to drive a hybrid. I’m now determined to keep the average mileage gauge above 50 mpg. It’s changed the way I drive.”

Prior to Raleigh, Bill spent several years as an overnight and weekend anchor for MSNBC, covering breaking news and the top national stories of the day. Among the many stories he broke on MSNBC, Bill was on the desk when former President Gerald Ford died. “Interrupting The Tonight Show (on NBC) was nerve-wracking, but it helped to focus on just getting the message out. My wife was visiting her mother in Nashville at the time. The report came up and my mother-in-law asked Amy, ‘Why is Bill on Jay Leno?’.”

Before that, Bill was an anchor/reporter at WVTM in Birmingham, Alabama for five years, covering schools, politics, crime and hurricanes, while anchoring the weekend morning shows. During that period, he spent ten days in New York City on loan to WNBC, reporting in the wake of 9/11. He also traveled to Texas to cover the Columbia shuttle disaster. Bill started his career as a “one-man band” reporter on Long Island, NY, working for News 12 Long Island.

As an avid history buff, Bill says he and his family have loved the move to Richmond and are becoming well-acquainted with its rich trove of museums and historical sites. “We also love the proximity to the beach and the mountains.”

Bill has an undergraduate degree in English and American literature from Harvard and a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia. He grew up in suburban Philadelphia and maintains a healthy, fair and balanced allegiance to the Phillies and Eagles, although he says he’s willing to listen to any coherent argument on the merits of other franchises. He and his wife Amy have a thirteen-year-old daughter, an eleven-year-old son, and an infant daughter.

Worth repeating. Dana Loesch is not giving up. Hope Alix likes being in the corner.

That is correct.Chicago land “news” masquerading as local. This group just bought this station and may be interested in the firestorm or maybe like msnbc they dont care.The local advertisers DO care.

Why? All you'll get is an "our false accusation was taken out of context" statement.

Oh yeah...and "The Crusades!"

If I owned a business I would have a sign on the cash register: “All proceeds resulting from catering to same sex events shall be donated in full to the Ted Cruz presidential campaign.”

Not sure if this is your original idea or not but if it was, you are a genius. This will absolutely take the wind right out of the sails with regard to this campaign to shame conservatives for sticking to their principles.

"Yes, we'll bake a cake for your homosexual wedding, but please know that all proceeds from this transaction will go to the Cruz for President campaign."

Utter genius.

Alix and other libs probably weren’t happy with Dana’s recent book, either. You know the one...’Hands Off My Gun.’

In Alix Bryan's non-apology statement, s/he said that s/he was concerned about [identity] fraud, perhaps depriving MemoriesPizza of intended gifts. Did s/he even attempt to contact the owners of MemoriesPizza to alert them to a potential problem, rather that sending out an inquiry into the "cloud" and wait for a response?

"Jouralism" of that type is usually associated with scammers.

Interesting to note that Channel 6’s ‘lead anchor’ used to work at MSNBC and he’s from (spit) New York.

I wish I was as witty as some of those who replied on Twitter to Alix.

There were some epic takedowns—just awesome.

I think the Left is about to find out that we have only begun to fight.

ALIX deletes her Tweets just like Hillary deleted her Department of State emails, a common thread pattern among liberals.
