Should This Be in Your Twitter Profile? (Patreon)

A couple of days ago, FTVLive told you that WCBI Weather Anchor Jacob Dickey called out viewers that phoned and emailed the station to bitch about cutting into the football game to bring severe weather coverage. 

We can debate if Dickey needed to go on the air to justify his job or not? But, an FTVLive reader brought up an interesting point and it is one you see often on social media. 

We'll use Jacob Dickey as an example, but he is far from the only one that does this. Here is a screenshot of his Twitter profile. 

Should TV news people include something like this on their social media? 

And it's not just "Christ Follower," how about "Proud Member of the LGBT Community" which is another one you often see. 

Would bosses be OK if one of their employees' pages described them as "Convinced Atheist" or "Satan Worshiper"? 

What about saying "Swinger" or "Bondage Enthusiast"? 

Should TV news people be claiming that they are this or that, or should they just stay neutral? 

When it comes to public school teachers, they are told that they may not promote religion, but they must allow students to practice their faith. Teachers and school officials have to strike a balance between two requirements: making sure the school doesn't appear to promote one religion over another or sponsor religious expression.

Should the same be said for people that work in TV news? 

It is an interesting question, to say the least. 

Before posting this story, I checked my own Twitter profile to see what I wrote, since I could not remember.

I see that I wrote about owning a Tesla, which is simply the best car ever made. 

Is sharing my faith in Tesla wrong? 

Lots of questions and I'm not sure I have the answer. 

But, if you want a secret code to buy a Tesla that gets you free supercharging miles, message me.
