Questions surrounding Branch Davidian raid coverage
KWTX-TV personnel were criticized during investigations and subsequent proceedings concerning the federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco. Accounts examined whether a station cameraman's conversation with a person connected to the group helped convey that law-enforcement action was imminent. Station journalists also recorded the raid and assisted injured agents. The referenced material indicates that the journalists were not criminally charged.
