This evening, the local ABC affiliate WATE TV 6 in their coverage of a stand-off in Jefferson County has crossed a line, that is reprehensible. The stand-off began as local law enforcement officers attempted to serve a domestic violence warrant on an adult male. In this evenings coverage, WATE records for all to see the reaction of the elderly mother being told for the first time that her son was dead due to a self inflicted gun shot. I realize that you guys at WATE have been trying to boost your ratings through shock journalism. This was over the line, in an attempt to garner improved ratings.
