Zuma Dogg Shuts Down LA Daily Blog and Removes Recent Posts Due To Lack of Financial Support From Those Who Can Easily Afford It.

[Pictured: Two farewell moments. Carson leaves Tonight Show set and Zuma Dogg leaves LA Daily Blog headquarters.]



Not enough financial support from the community even though the blog has been on fire including having the #1 and #2 blog posts on BlogNetNews.com NATIONWIDE U.S. Ranker today, so I know people are reading. Thanks for the great memories and everyone who helped me keep it going this long. L.A. Times, Daily News , 11 o'clock news and other news mediums will still be available to you. My friends have my number and can call to keep in touch.

And speaking of NBC and the bitter departures of two L.A. icons...HERE IS RARE & EXCLUSIVE VIDEO JUST FOUND IN ZumaCAM Digital Vault:
Zuma Dogg Unmasked on KNBC 4 News (Trutanich Victory Party)
2:30
Here is rare footage of Zuma Dogg interviewed by KNBC 4 News at the Trutanich Victory Party without hat and glasses.Thanks to the NBC reporter who was quite nice in his intro and respect level. And it was ESPECIALLY sweet, because I asked if he needed an "regular guy" interview, since I wasn't in ZD mode. He said, "No thanks." So I took a second pass and said, "Hi, would you like to interview me, I ran for mayor and came in fourth without spending any money." WELL, that was a giveaway. And he told me the producers were asking if I was there, cause they wanted to interview me, but he didn't see me. (Which is quite understandable, cause I was in my "Bruce Wayne" mode. SO, I had to jump up onstage for the impromptu interview. I am holding my own camera (this angle) while I was being interviewed on their camera.

And remember less popular councilmembers and chump change CD 2 wannabees...I am better known and much more beloved by the public than you!

VIDEO: Zuma Dogg ASSAULTED by MSNBC Camera Man

Here's exclusive video of Zuma Dogg being assaulted (grabbed and pushed) by an MSNBC camera man on the public sidewalk in front of the NBC Tonight Show studios in Burbank when Barack Obama appeared with Jay Leno. The police took down his name and Zuma Dogg is deciding whether to file a report against the crew member. No matter how obnoxious you may feel I was being...TOUGH F*CK! If you don't want a guy making noise in front of your INTERNATIONAL MSNBC REPORT -- DON'T DO IT ON THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK...GO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE YELLOW TAPE. And the reason the police followed up after ZD showed the video to them, is because NO MATTER HOW MUCH I MAY HAVE BEEN RIGHT OR WRONG...you are not allowed to defend a video shoot with physical assaults. The camera man should have had security or the police take care of any violations. (THE PLACE WAS CRAWLING WITH SECRET SERVICE AND SECURITY...THERE OBVIOUSLY WAS NO LEGAL PROBLEM ON MY END!)



But what makes matters worse, is afterwards, when I walked back to try and get names and find out where they were from, the other crew member threatened me by saying, "You better bounce!" He kept repeating, "You better bounce!" AND went on to say that I had no evidence that the camera guy pushed me" and he added, "I will testify that he didn't push you and are making it up." (WHY HE WOULD SAY THAT WHEN CLEARLY I WAS RECORDING THE ENTIRE EVENT IS JUST ONE REASON WHY I SHOULD FOLLOW UP WITH POLICE AND A LAWSUIT.) I made several efforts to address this issue with NBC management, but they gave ZD the bamboozle-around...so we'll see what happens.

Zuma Dogg at NBC Tonight Show on Barack Obama Night

Zuma Dogg showed up to the Tonight Show line at NBC studios for Barack Obama night. Lots of fun with the crowd. Sign up that guy with the Indian head dress. AND, unfortunately, in Part 2, Zuma Dogg was assaulted by the NBC national camera guy (MSNBC) who was filming an international segment. SORRY, pal! It's the open sidewalk and the police and secret service didn't have a problem. HEY MSNBC...it THIS how you allow your thugs to operate??? Not good.
