It's a Fucking Funeral
/No matter how often FTVLive points it out, it still continues to happen…
KDVR/KWGN Reporter Kevin Torres was covering the funeral for school shooting victim Kendrick Castillo.
But first, let me smile and take a selfie with a viewer.
I’m sorry, this is not the time or the place to pose for smiling selfies.
Oh! He also got to do a drone stand up…
Little drone stand-up for today’s story. #drone #KDVR #KWGN pic.twitter.com/G95SNl0vz2

And he was under tight deadline to get the story on the air. Not so tight, that he didn’t have time to set up a time lapse camera for his tweet. Oh, he will also be making a “rare” in studio appearance. So tune in.
Gotta write today’s story pretty quickly! Under a tight deadline. Tune into #KWGN at 4pm and #KDVR @ 5pm. I’ll be making a rare in-studio appearance! 😉 pic.twitter.com/mDcV6rzM3r

He was also very happy with how his funeral story turned out.
Covering funerals and processions mean a lot to me. 'Cause there's a good chance it might be the last story ever told about that person. That said, I'm really happy w/ the way my piece about Kendrick Castillo's procession turned out. He's a true hero & deserved a good story. 💙💛 pic.twitter.com/4Pr9gY4PKt

So, you are covering a story about a hero that was killed in another school shooting, yet somehow, you were able to make this all about you.
Congratulations in taking “All about Me TV” to a whole new level and showing everyone exactly what is wrong with Journalism today.
Job well done.
