Witnessing Doug Proffitt in an editorial blasting Jim Ramsey and the University of Louisville at the end of Thursday’s WHAS 11 News was discomforting. As a UofL fan and a former news editor, I was embarrassed for everyone involved, especially for the anchorman making an ill-advised rant.
I thought it was odd that a UofL story about a silly classified want ad with a racial slant was the lead story on the broadcast, especially on the day when an arrest was announced in the case of a missing Nelson County woman.
