The Ratings Grab?

WGN (Chicago) Reporter Winnie Dortch is lucky to be alive. She was the victim of a domestic violence shooting.

It happened over a year ago and Dortch is telling her story.

Props to her for having the courage to take this head on and tell her story.

But, the fact that the Nexstar station waited until the November ratings period to use of of their own people to help drive ratings, gives me a bad feeling.

I hope Dortch doesn’t feel used by the station to help get ratings.

Also, the fact that WGN slapped an ad on the front of the online story, well, it just makes it worse.

Just saying…
