The Lone Station that Got It Right... (Patreon)
Content
FTVLive told you how many stations is Connecticut screwed up by reporting a fact that was not true.
WFSB, WTIC, and WTNH all reported on Tuesday afternoon that Fotis Dulos, who is accused of murdering of his wife in a case that has mesmerized the entire state, was found dead in his garage of an apparent suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning.
FTVLive called out WFSB and the other stations, but we should point out that one station got it right.
Yep, while others were in a race to try and be first, one station waited for conformation that Dulos was dead, and it never came.
WVIT was that station and by waiting to confirm, they were the only station not wiping egg off their face for being wrong.
Think about that for a bit.
Every station is reporting the guy is dead and you are the only station not doing so. In other words, your station is sitting out on an iceberg all by themselves, while everyone else has jumped off.
Do you think your station would have the guts to sit there? Or would your News Director or EP be screaming to report the news?
FTVLive does not know what went down in the WVIT newsroom, but the bottom line is they waited, they did not report an unconfirmed story and they WERE RIGHT!
When you have people, including the President out there, screaming "fake news" the media has to do better about being right.
WVIT held off and I can only bet how hard that was, but in the end, they were the station you could trust and the station that was correct.
Maybe the others can learn a bit more by watching them?
Just saying...
