Warped TV reporter Vester Lee Flanagan exasperated bosses with his 'stiff and nervous' delivery, his inability to use a teleprompter - and by wearing a President Obama badge during an election report, Daily Mail Online can reveal.
Management at WDBJ dubbed the failed newsman the 'human tape recorder' because he frequently parroted what interviewees had told him rather than doing his own journalism.
Flanagan, 41, clashed repeatedly with photojournalists, belittling them in public and intimidating them with his violent temper, according to internal reports.
He was also censured for wearing an Obama sticker while recording a segment at a polling booth during the 2012 US Presidential Election - a clear breach of journalistic impartiality.
The complaints are outlined in court papers seen by Daily Mail Online that include a scathing performance review carried out prior to his termination in Feb 2013.

I’m surprised MSNBC didn’t hire him.
All that proves is that he was far more honest than all the rest of them.
Well, surprise, surprise, surPRISE!
Your typical Obama supporter.
Face it, he was a sociopathic thug.
Well, if he hadn’t popped himself, they may have hired him once he was found not guilty of the alleged crime.
Oh, he was an Obamabot. What a surprise...
“Flanagan, 41, clashed repeatedly with photojournalists, belittling them in public and intimidating them with his violent temper, according to internal reports. “
Sound like someone should have kicked his ass a long time ago.
Obie supporter=sociopathic thug. One in the same.
And his picture and this news will be all over our media, I’m sure.
If the shooter once wore an Obama picture, doesn’t follow that all Obama pictures must be removed from stores and public places?
When they say photojournalists, are they talking about cameramen?
They should ban Obama stickers as the hate-filled symbols that they are.
Uh, that would be double hate crime since he was black and gay. Guess he couldn’t handle the troof.
When you do live tv events, the newsman/woman sometimes need to think on their feet.
This “his inability to use a teleprompter” jumped out at me. C’mon! You don’t even need to think, just read off the teleprompter, how difficult is it? I am sure they don’t use cursive on the ‘prompter.
Well, they’ve all been removed from our house. Oh, wait. That wouldn’t have taken long since there would never be any here in the first, second or third place.
Hillary had a fine picture made with her supporter, John Wayne Gacy, a Democrat in Chicago, who raped dozens of young boys and buried them under and around his house. Funny how murderers, then and now, support those who don’t value life, and yes, Planned Parenthood’s atrocities come to mind.
I thought writing in cursive was declared racist.
I do applaud his last decision.
Too bad he didn’t make that one first.
