Thursday this week a local TV station sent an "undercover" reporter to Kirkwood High School and in the process caused the school to be locked down for several hours.
KSDK-TV in Saint Louis sent it's reporter to Kirkwood to "test" the High School's security system. But, rather than announcing his presence to School administrators this moron continued on his way and failed to identify himself on several occasions. The "reporter's" actions resulted in anxiety for students, teachers and administrators as well as countless parents who were texted by their children.
The move was bonehead, KSDK should pay for the lost time of the students and faculty and the disruption of classes. And the FCC should fine the station for it's irresponsible behavior. But, none of this will happen and KSDK will continue on it's merry way of intruding in people's lives without thinking things through.
I could continue on with how un-professional the people in the News Department are at KSDK but this article in a suburban paper named the "Kirkwood Call" sums it up pretty clearly.
