Oh, look, another industry forcing instant roll-backs of new laws by hurting the consumers to "prove" the law is "harmful".

Seattle media come in three types:

1. Sinclair, so, unabashedly authoritarian; they actively lobby for more cops no matter what.
2. Incapable (sorry KING 5, you guys ain’t evil but you ain’t competent either); they just pass on whatever the SPD has to say.
3. Independent / Fringe; they don’t support the cops but they’re on shoestring budgets and have limited effectiveness.

So we’re pretty much screwed on the media front.

I’m a big fan of C. J. Cherryh’s Chanur series, where humans are on an at least equal footing but mainly incidental (except for a few parts). The nice part is you can then read her Cyteen and Foreigner series to find out how being technologically advanced doesn’t necessarily always work out well for the humans.

I wonder if there’s a full archive up anywhere; KONG (King 5’s spinoff station) re-ran all the episodes a few years* back (when The 206 was trying to be a thing) so somebody might have some recent high-quality captures or something.

*due to COVID Time, “a few years” means up to 10 years ago ;_;)
