Families grieve, friends grieve.
WANE TV confuses instead of informing.
It's always been a fetish of media to stick a microphone in the faces of the families and friends of victims asking how they feel. WANE TV reached out to those close to the victims and compiled quotes about the deceased young men. One of those quotes from the WANE TV news story:
Now, from the Facebook comments section about the story, Caitlyn (we've blurred her last name) is surprised to find out she was dating one of the victims:
Well, Caitlyn, that will teach you to speak to the media.
A good journalist would have details like this nailed down, but remember no one matching that description seems to work at WANE TV. But WANE is very good at reading Health Department reports and brow beating Asian cafe owners.
The Maven extends condolences to friends and family of the accident victims and offers an apology to Caitlyn for her treatment at the hands of WANE TV.
