Isn't That a Conflict of Interest?

It appears that there is a major conflict of interest going on at CBS’s WCCO in Minneapolis and the station doesn’t seem to care.

Bob Kroll is the Minneapolis Police Federation president and he loves Donald Trump, hates Black Lives Matter and is not a fan of the media.

Well, there is one member of the media he seems to like and that is his wife, WCCO Anchor/Reporter Liz Collin.

Now, the station cannot help who is married to who, but they can stop the Reporter from covering their spouse.

Collin has interviewed Kroll for the station (see picture above) and the station does not disclose the fact that the two are married to one another.

Kroll's relationship with Collin has been public (or semi-public) knowledge for some time, but some are wondering why Collin has continued to cover police and public safety without so much as a disclosure of the marriage.

Kroll, meanwhile, is a frequent subject for the TV station, including his recent appearance at Donald Trump's downtown Minneapolis rally.

The Star Tribune did a story about Kroll, but not until you get deep into the story do you learn that he is married to Collin.

When Collin and Kroll became an item isn't addressed in the Star Tribune story, though she's reported on Minneapolis police matters on numerous occasions in recent years. Collin interviewed Kroll in March 2016 about police use of force.

While the focus of the story was Kroll, it makes you wonder why WCCO does not disclose the fact that he is married to an Anchor at the station?

The station should also not allow Collin to report on the police beat….ever!

Some viewers are asking the same thing:
