: Amy Jacobson, a reporter for WMAQ-Channel 5, is in hot water with her bosses for going swimming on her day off with the estranged husband of a missing Plainfield woman. :
If she had been a male reporter going to a female's house -who was in the same situation as Craig Stebic - would he have been as repremanded? I think not. Sexism at its finest here. He would have probably been given a bonus behind the scenes.
But you can't hate on CBS-2 for throwing this out there. If you were news director at a competing station and this "landed" on your desk (however it came about), you know you would run with it too.
The sad tune of the underdog..
