WFAA Gets Peabody Award for Probing Railroad Commission "Dubious Practices"

April 2, 2008 By TXsharon

2007 Peabody Award Winners
For excellence in radio and television broadcasting

Money for Nothing, The Buried and the Dead, Television Justice, Kinder Prison
WFAA-TV
The Dallas station distinguished itself with not one but four investigative series in 2007, probing dubious practices by the U.S. Export-Import Bank, the Texas Railroad Commission, a police department that got too cozy with a TV sexual-predator sting operation and a Homeland Security Prison holding immigrant families.

Congratulations to Brett Shipp for exposing the Texas Railroad Commission

    It’s good to know that more and more people are starting to figure out the RRC! We’ve gotta elect Dale Henry to try to straighten out that RRC mess in Austin.

    That’s great news about news, indeed.

    Hopefully, we’ll also get Dale Henry on the RRC this time and get some real oversight going.
