As I watched a recent snowstorm unfolding, after the governor's request for road closings, we watched Channel 8 - on the road - under dangerous road conditions.
Why would it make any sense to have Channel 8’s employees out on the road? This after Malloy closed roads. They appeared to be going too fast for road conditions.
Is the TV media immune to road closures? I think not. Not only did they put themselves in danger, but any first responders in danger. I would strongly suggest TV crews obey road closure instructions.
There are enough cameras to provide conditions on the roadways. Keep your mobile crews off the roads. Use common sense, which seems to be lacking.
