It's hardly fair to blame WWAY for the poor decision that this teacher made. They're just reporting the facts. It's public information. WWAY didn't "run her name through the mud"...she did by her choice to drive drunk.
She could have just as easily called a friend, family member, or a taxi to take her home. There's nothing wrong with having a social life, and even having a few drinks. But you don't get behind the wheel of a car and drive after those drinks. It's illegal, it's dangerous, and it's a life threatening decision. Her decision to drive drunk placed others at risk. She could have killed someone. And if she had, those same ones defending her now on this forum would be outraged and just as vocal about that. Having had only a fender bender was just plain lucky. It could have just as easily been a person.
