Why?

An FTVLive reader sent us this email and we thought we would share it in full.

Scott, go back and look through your posts about station/talent behavior as I do periodically.  

I have a question: why is it that  bad/questionable behavior from talent and management that we read on the site, always seems to happen at the same stations all the time?  Sometimes, it's the same person, but usually it's always the same station or station group.

It's a stain on the profession I've spent 56 years defending from today's youngsters who think ethical behavior in journalism is the game of "what can I get away with."  

Often, we don't hear what happens to talent we read about, when they cross the line.  Sometimes there's no follow-up because some stations take corrective action immediately.  Others take an "it's our station, not yours" stance.  Usually, we readers have to "consider the front office/home office" to guess that corrective action (according to some on-air decency standards) was taken.  Sometimes, we readers just never know.  

All we know is that bad or questionable behavior seems to happen to the same people at the same stations all the time.  

Just a thought.  Thanks for letting me vent.
