Oh Burn...

Last week, FTVLive told you about KXXV (Waco) Anchor Lindsay Liepman, who not only anchors the news but seems to be shilling weight loss products on the side.

This was her post on Instagram:

Believe it or not, there was a time when TV Anchors gave you the news and did not shill products on the side. Whenever real journalists see something like this, it feels like just another little piece of this profession is losing its integrity.

A number of journalists sent Liepman’s post to FTVLive and we posted the story of an example of what not to do.

While making the post, our voice recognition software, type the word “do” instead of “due” and we missed the typo before posting it.

Liepman emailed FTVLive and called us out for mistake and then posted that email to her Instagram:

If you want to call us a “troll” for sticking up for the ethics of this industry, we will proudly wear the name.

But, what Liepman did not point out in her email, or her post blasting FTVLive is that her original IG post that was shilling a weight loss product has been changed.

She is no longer pimping product and just talks about her weight-loss.

This is how the post should have read in the first place.

You’re welcome.

Looks like my job is done here, back to trolling for me.
