Hey Cox Media Group … your station in Orlando WFTV Channel 9 reported that 5 people died at the FSU shooting. Now they have quietly changed their story to say “multiple hospitalized” without a correction or context. Can you please address this and report back?

Law enforcement has neutralized the threat. Please avoid the Student Union, Bellamy, HCB Classroom Building, Rovetta A&B, Moore Auditorium, Shaw, Pepper, Hecht House and Carraway as they are still considered an active crime scene. Individuals are free to m manager.everbridge.net/pub/1988021712…


Hey @Coxmg and WFTV Channel 9 — I went and wrote you a statement: “Today, we compounded one tragedy with another. In an inexcusable rush to report the news first, we got it wrong. Our error surely led to added trauma at FSU and around the state and nation. We deeply regret our error.”



WFTV is owned by Atlanta-based Cox Media Group. Let them hear about the way their affiliates treat people that correct their false reporting.

Skip Foster I had the pleasure of chatting with Father Lonnie at a wedding he officiated a few months ago. I come from a denomination at the other end of the spectrum, but his love for people is so Christ-like and evident that I would attend his church when I’m in town. Real deal.

Skip Foster Went to Tallahassee Democrat first and never stopped. They’re the best.
