Tweeted and Deleted

WKBW (Buffalo) Anchor/Reporter Madison Carter posted a tweet that was apparently directed squarely at station management.

The tweet she posted said:

“I guess there’s a certain way people do things around here & I was told I can either be more like that or not have a job. So I’m still working... I just stopped running my mouth about things I think matter or need attention/change.”

But, not long after posting the tweet, it was delated.

Carter admits that she has been outspoken and it is her nature to do so. In speaking with the Buffalo News over the summer, Carter said, “I am in a position, if I have this job, I am a Black woman and, if I don’t, I’m still going to be a Black woman. The worst that can happen is you can fire me. So I am going to say exactly what I need to say anytime I need to say it.”

This is not the first time that she posted something that seemed to rise the ire of management. According to the Buffalo News, Carter recently has run afoul of the social media rules of the station and its owner, E.W. Scripps, by tweeting about controversial topics. That includes a tweet about the Capitol attack on Jan. 6 that has since been deleted.

She did not comment about her latest tweet and delete.

WKBW News Director Rob Heverling did not return a call, text or email for comment to respond to Carter’s tweet from the Buffalo News.
