TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! KANSAS CITY CALL REPORTER DEBUNKS KMBZ ALLEGATIONS THAT THEY WERE UNJUSTLY KICKED OUT OF A BILL COSBY INTERVIEW!!!
Just got of the phone with Kansas City Call reporter Eric Wesson who was generous enough to offer a point-by-point rebuttal to the accusations of KMBZ reporters who CLAIM they were kicked out of an interview with Bill Cosby.
Let's look at the allegations one-by-one since since they're being put on blast in other media outlets without much regard for the other side of the story . . .
Here's what KMBZ claims:
"Cosby was in the room at the time and said there was no reason for anyone to be removed, but Wesson insisted there would be no interview with KMBZ. After Bell left, Cosby did the interview with Fox4KC and went on with the program."
Mr. Wesson says that is incorrect. However, Eric Wesson stipulates that both The Star and WDAF got back with him as far as arranging an interview . . . "The folks from KMBZ just showed up and they didn't pull anyone aside and tell us what they were doing. This was a closed session and all press had to be cleared beforehand."
IN OTHER WORDS, IT LOOKS LIKE KMBZ CRASHED THE INTERVIEW AND NOW THEY'RE POUTING ABOUT IT!!!
Another charge:
"An eyewitness heard Cosby ask Wesson, "why did you kick that guy out?" The eyewitness says Wesson answered, "he was KMBZ." KMBZ reporter Jeff Bell says the gist of the remark by Wesson was "because of who you (KMBZ) are." No further explanation was given."
Eric Wesson: "I never said that. Not once did I use that kind of terse comment and anyone who says that I did is lying."
The background here is that Mr. Cosby's associates run a very tight ship. What local news doesn't report, again, is that this was a closed meeting and not open to all the press . . . In fact, all photos taken during this meeting had to be cleared personally by Mr. Cosby's wife Camile.
The most important response from Mr. Wesson:
"What is unfortuante is that this was a very positive event and the students involved had a great time and were inspired. We accomplished a very good thing here today and brought forth a positive message to our youth.
Meanwhile, these reporters simply want to make themselves the spotlight of Mr. Cosby's appearance with petty complaints instead of focusing attention on the service provided to students."

Eric - your racist lying ass. The check is in the mail. Typical ghetto trash talk.
ReplyDeleteI heard Mr.Wesson's interview on KMBZ and I was disappointed to hear his side of the story. Not in it's content, but I understand Wesson is a journalist; which to me implies a college graduate.
ReplyDeleteWhat I heard was someone unfamiliar with "proper" english that he failed to be convincing in his argument.
I would suggest anyone objective listen to his interview and I hope that KMBZ will make it available on it's website.
MAYBE TKC will take sometime from his mother's basement get some fresh air, then some real OBJECTIVE news to report....doubt it though!!
Some people don't know how to handle authority.
ReplyDeleteAnyone that knows Eric WESSON KNOWS that is very unprofessional,hot tempered and a lier. I was present at two of the city council.forums were he showed his ass off,he was so bad that folks left,he spoke to Scott Taylor something terrible. A friend Rodney Knotts said it was awful and he posted comments concerning Wesson's behavior live from the event. Eric is a felon that is still rough around the edges. The Call needs to let him go.
ReplyDeleteEric Wesson is an asshole and a women beater.
ReplyDeleteGot in on the tail end of this tempest but I hope BZ didn't walk into the room thinking they had rights to disrupt what was going on.
ReplyDeleteMedia has a way of thinking a press pass is a ticket to interrupt anything. It is not good form to butt into someone else's interview unless it's already apparent that it's a gang bang (a true newsconference.)
In anycase, BZ protesteth too much.
Darla Jaye tore this prick Wesson a new ass hole. He was lying on Bill.
ReplyDeleteScrew all these wannabe KC celebrities. Just thank God people like Bill Cosby are making an effort to eradicate gangsta 'culture'.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard this jerk Wesson speak? ?
ReplyDeleteEric Wesson has a fucked up attitude he is known.as the shake down piss ass. Donna this boy is going to cost you a big law suit.
ReplyDeleteI can translate Mr Wesson's comments - I have a degree in Jive.
ReplyDelete8:28 is exactly right. Her's Bill Cosby, one of the very few black leaders to emphasize responsibility and acocuntability for both parents and youth and the event is screwed up by the typical D-List Kansas City celebrities who are more interested in themselves and their importance and opinions than in either Cosby, the kids, or even the event.
ReplyDeleteTypical bush league KC crap. I'm sure Mr. Cosby and his team were really impressed by the sophistication and professionalism of these morons.
Believe me Mr.Cosby knew that Wesson was trying to impress him. Mr.Cosby has been the "only" celebrity that has ever attended this once a year event. No one who is anyone will entertain Wesson bullshit not even Mr.Ron Hunt.
ReplyDeleteI heard his interview with Darla. Right out of the gate he was defensive, implying that the reporter for KMBZ was lying.
ReplyDeleteThe way to come at this is to take responsibility for the misunderstanding and offer an explanation of how it might have happened. That's what a professional does. I agree that this incident distracts from the good of the forum.
Darla Jaye didn't have to inform him that he would be the topic, but she did cause KMBZ reporter didn't have anything to hide. Eric Wesson came ready with his lies. Man you could tell he was lying. He will never take responsibility for his actions, he's a jail house coward.
ReplyDeleteWhy should KMBZ be extended special entry. They didn't preschedule as required. I know its hard for white folk to believe that some black folk require protocol.
ReplyDeleteThe facts are Eric Wesson has emerged as a highly respected african american within the community. Call him what you may Eric Wesson is like E F Hutton, in the community when Eric speaks many listen.
ReplyDeleteThe facts are 100% of the candidates selected by Eric and the Call Newspaper won the last election. So continue with the name calling if that what floats your boat and Eric continue to tell the truth and enlighten the community.
I know Eric Wesson personally he is not a liar and who cares what racist Darla J. Says. Eric doesn't need Darla nor the bitter ex city council members posting on this blog.

ReplyDeleteEric Wesson, is NOT a liar nor a wife beater and has a beautiful personality. Eric Wesson, continue to represent your people and I will continue to support you and the Call Newspaper.
ReplyDeleteHello, inside baseball. Way to embarrass KC. You really think Bill Cosby gives a rat's ass about infighting among KC "journalists"? Right.
ReplyDeleteEric stop posting no one likes you but yourself. If you printed the truth you wouldn't have to do retractions.uhmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteWho buys the call?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing E.F.Hutton has in common with Eric is that he is dead.
ReplyDeleteOne minute you didn't like Jermaine Reed then you changed your mind and we all know what and whom changed it for you.
ReplyDeleteEric Wesson is a lying pack of shit. You print lies each week in THE CALL and the editor knows it. You use THE CALL for your own personal gain.
ReplyDeleteThis article was definately written by a true liberal defending another liberal, convicted criminal.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am not Eric Wesson and my advice to you is to find yourself a job. Eric, did what most voters in the 3rd district supported Jermaine Reed.
ReplyDeleteIf you're not Eric then why in the hell did you answer dumb shit.
ReplyDelete4/2/11 12:03 AM-Amen, Amen let the let both of the churchs Wesson attends say amen. You're a jerk, jerk.
ReplyDeleteWho in the hell is Wesson's people? Cleaver brought him for little under $1,500.00. Now his going price is a add in 3 page paper that he writes for. Monkeys in a cage.
ReplyDeleteEric Wesson support was brought for Reed. He talked about him like he talks about everyone else out the side of his twisted mouth. He is known as the retraction queen.
ReplyDeletePat Clarke punked the hell out of him. Move or get pushed out the way.
ReplyDeleteWesson made so much money taking bribes that he moved to Indep.Mo
ReplyDeleteKMBZ only reported the truth,this donkey lost his tail. 1st caller,Eric Wesson.
ReplyDeleteEric wrote Darla Jaye is a racist, why because she didn't kiss your dirty black ass? You called her she didn't call you. Why are you jealous of Darla is it because she has a real radio talk show and she is professional and your talk show is about who ever pays you to be on and it doesn't even have a rating. So lame you should be friend Darla and maybe she could really help your career, right now its about as low down as you are. Darla Jaye is known as "The Queen of Talk" and what are you know for? Being a selfish self centered ass hole.
ReplyDeleteKMBZ has real reporters.
Darla Jaye atleast had the guts to report what you wouldn't about the so called community & people you say you represent. It's about as worthless as you are. Bill didn't lie on you and you know it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's a racist when they don't agree with Wesson. He is the biggest cry baby of them all!
ReplyDeleteI heard Mr.Wesson's interview on KMBZ and I was disappointed to hear his side of the story. Not in it's content, but I understand Wesson is a journalist; which to me implies a college graduate.
ReplyDeleteWhat I heard was someone unfamiliar with "proper" english that he failed to be convincing in his argument.
Cosby is there to teach kids about respect - and Eric disrespects a professional member of the media. Nice. Did Eric learn anything from Mr. Cosby?
ReplyDeleteDoubtful as Eric knowns all.
No but he looked liked a fat old piece of shit when he was sitting on stage with Mr.Cosby. Mr.Cosby was enbrassed by the arrgrant ass Wesson!
ReplyDeleteWesson saw you at Peners sidewalk sale.are you wearing the suit you brought?
ReplyDeleteEric L.Wesson knows better than to go after Eric L..West BE1KC. KCMSD President Airick is not going to run for re election he has collected thousands of dollars using KCMSD students. and Wesson knows,everything that goes on in the community he left
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of crybabies.
ReplyDeleteUm someone is furious about Jermaine Reed winning the election. Um, wonder who that is? I will give you two guesses.
ReplyDelete12:39 Like I said you LOST the election now find yourself a JOB!!
ReplyDeleteNever stated shit head that anyone was furious over Jermaine Reed but did wonder how you talked about him behind his back like a "dog" and then you end up supporting him. Of course you read as well as you write.
ReplyDeleteAgain, you're stalkimg this comment section and its obvious you are fuming over Eric supporting Jermaine. Reed.
ReplyDeleteBTW Eric has the right to change his mind and support whomebver, whenever he pleases.
ReplyDeleteEric you should know about stalking your twisted missing "teeth" as non reporting,shake down artist,two faced,wanna be inmportant . Eric has been very successful at being an ass hole and a woman beater.
ReplyDeletePat Clarke come bitch slap this Bitch Wesson!
ReplyDeleteThe shake downs have been very good to Wesson notice not even the owwner of the call has two cars, a $25,000 home ,cheap suits and young baby mamma. Eric Wesson sit on your middle finger!

ReplyDeleteKMBZ removed their version of the story from their website. Scrubbing their own news story? What happened? Didn't stand up to fact checking?
ReplyDeleteProves again KMBZ is not a news station. They air opinion content only. No news.
Wesson you dumb shit KMBZ removes all of its past stories, they are not like the paper in which you attempt to write for KMBZ is news-the call prints stories from a month ago. Catch up will ya!
ReplyDeleteWesson you dumb shit KMBZ removes all of its past stories, they are not like the paper in which you attempt to write for KMBZ is news-the call prints stories from a month ago. Catch up will ya!
ReplyDeleteWesson, FYI KMBZ updates their website daily. I know that you are unaware of this cause the call only reprints old news. Catch up will ya, KMBZ is a real news station. They didn't do a retation unlike what you are known for.
ReplyDeleteEric, FYI KMBZ updates their website daily its not the call boy.
ReplyDeleteThank God for Jermaine Reed won the comments reinterate why Jermaine won by a landslide
