They instantly think that it is because of the fact that she doesn't like LoVe. It is not that, if it is KB's opinion. She doesn't have to like LoVe. Hell, I didn't like them either during most of the second season. (And, it had nothing to do with Logan). I don't give a fuck about KB's opinion. Like

said in her LJ, how could you take a person who wears a yellow muumuu opinions seriously. I don't get upset because of her opinion. KB's opinion is about as important to me as G. W. Bush's. The point is I love Veronica Mars the show and I want it to be on for many more seasons and no matter what people think, KB sprouting off incorrect information is bad business.
As a new and struggling business owner, I know how important marketing is. What if I was to tell my customers that they should buy my product because it is great and they would enjoy it. Then, when asked how great it is, I look them in the eye and say "How the hell I'm suppose to know, I don't use this shit." How many customers do you think I will get? Really? Or, if I was to falsely advertise my products? Would that be ethical? Because that is what she is doing. What if there are people out there who like guys that cheat on their girlfriends with step-MILFs? They go out there, spending their money on VM DVD's to see what she is talking about and get disappointed that he was slepping with a MILF, but not cheating. They would be terribly disappointed.
The thing is, KB is a business owner, she is an actress. If she isn't marketing her product accurately, she would lose the trust and respect of her customers. The fact that VM often refers to itself as a 'Smart' show and is advertised that way, it is really sad when the lead actress makes comments that aren't so 'smart'. The first rule in affective marketing is knowing and believing in you product. There is no way in hell you can sell a product you don't know. I'm sorry, but that is the way the world works. If I am a fangirl because I believe this, then too fucking bad. It is just the way things are.
What I don't get is that if a random reporter or writer was writing about the show and spewing off incorrect comments, fandom would be all over it and no one would be upset. They know that the show is struggling and don't want someone misrepresenting it and driving viewers away. But , why not have the same set of high standards for the lead actress of that show. It is her show, why shouldn't we expect her to fucking know what the hell is going on? Come on!
Okay, she doesn't have time to watch. I get that. But, there are shows that she does watch. She has admitted that she enjoys comedies. Couldn't she sacrifice that for a quick peak at her own show, the show she is giving an interview on the following day? And, if she didn't want to put her own enjoyment aside to, say, research for her job, how long does it take to talk to one of the cast members or someone behind the scenes? Couldn't she just ask them what is going on. Or, when reading the script, why not read the whole damn thing and not just her lines?
I'll be the first to admit that I am a fangirl. Fuckin' proud of it. But, it is not the fangirl in me that cringe at these comments; it is the businesswoman. And, no matter how much people want to think otherwise, it is bad marketing and bad business. Bad marketing and bad business leads to no business at all. I really don't understand why no one hasn't filled her in yet.
