Video: WWJ Reporter Fired for Obama T-shirt |
|
http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=7559640&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1WWJ's Karen Dinkins is out of a job because of what she wore to work. Her t-shirt said she's a fan on Barack Obama, and when her bosses found out, they showed her the door.

1. She wore the T-Shirt while covering an Obama Rally for her radio station |
|
That's just stupid. What would happen if Brian Williams covered a McCain rally while wearing a McCain t-shirt?

3. She was on the radio, no one could see her... |
|
except those at the rally, and I wouldn't recognize her from anyone - I liked her, and will no longer tune in to WWJ on my way to/from work. Must have been a sour grapes McCain operative who ratted her out.
And to be fired?? I mean, really - they could have given her a warning or even a suspension - that wasn't an offense deserving of her losing her job!

2. Could these Fox reporters be any more ecstatic about this news? |
|
It's a stupid move on the reporter's part, but this Fox station's coverage is highly annoying.
