He never challanged the inequitable economic system in Hawaii or its power moguls. Yes, he was "comfortable" for those in power.

Sevey was from an era where only the distinguished looking white males made anchors. Nothing against Sevey, but I for one, am glad those narrow minded days are over.

Poor alice, blogging about someone I am pretty sure she never watched do a newscast and spouting out worthless dribble about a man she is to young have even seen besides short takes and video clips. No wonder why most of her posts have "clueless" and "nuts" tagged with them.

Look, I watched his interview with Leslie Wilcox. That is all I know of him as he was unknown on the maianland. I am sure he was a nice man. Just not a very big man in the sense of journalistic impact. He never said a word about the injustice here. He simply reported crime stories and kept people entertained. The power structure loved him. That is always a bad sign.
