KC Reporter Says Sorry

Yesterday FTVLive told you about a social media post made by KHSB (Kansas City) Reporter Belinda Post.

In the past, we have told talent using social media to look at how Belinda uses social media. She always had a good mix of news and personal posting to keep people engaged. 

But, then posted an item where she was shilling for a popcorn company and the Reporter that we thought was doing it right, let us down. 

In a single post, Post went from TV Reporter to a Kardashian. 

Yesterday, after FTVLive posted the story, Post sent us an email. 

Scott,

You're right. I shouldn't have posted that photo. Lesson learned; we all make mistakes.

I do want to say I wasn't selling the popcorn and wasn't getting paid in any way. I know the owner and wanted to support their product. I was actually giving it away for free... but I think I know a shelter that could use it a little more.

I took the photo down, and I hope you at least respect this "mea culpa".

All the best,
Belinda

She's right, we all do make mistakes and she owned up to hers. My respect is restored and it is nice to see someone that can admit to being wrong. 

That's not something you see often in TV news.
