How Is This Acceptable?

Really? 
While we all know and accept the fact that the WPTA ABC21 website is notoriously stale, how can anyone at WPTA ABC21 or their red-headed step-child, Fort Waynes NBC, find this acceptable?


While every other media outlet reported, correctly, that this accident happened in the 3300 block of Brooklyn Avenue early Saturday morning, WPTA ABC21 and cut-and-paste Fort Wayne's NBC continue to insist that the accident occurred in the 330 block of Broadway?  Even after being chastised by viewers on their Facebook page, the error remains. 

Even the often-forgotten WFFT 55 got it right...


Why make a big stink about this? One word: credibility. Not only the credibility of their news operation, but if these lapses in quality are accepted by WPTA ABC 21's ownership and management, one has to wonder if they could be trusted in the other areas of their business. If you are an advertiser, you certainly should check your billing statements and proof of performance statements.

If you feel a need to vent, the WPTA ABC21 ownership information is posted in their Public File, which the FCC requires them to post online. Here's the link:
