Supporters on Facebook blast 'liberal' media for ouster.
A firefight of words has erupted in Houston after a Fox affiliate fired a TV reporter for expressing her support for President-elect Donald Trump on her personal social media.
Her critics are blasting her, and the Houston Chronicle suggested there was some element of racism. But Scarlett Fakhar, 25, KRIV-TV in Houston also has her supporters.
I for one will not be watching Fox 26 any longer, wrote Steve Woodruff on her Facebook page. Their bias is more than obvious. You have our full support & heres hoping for bigger things for you in the future. #istandwithscarlettfakhar.
The controversy developed shortly after Trumps election victory over twice-failed Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.
Fakhar had announced on her personal Facebook page that she was happy and relieved that Trump had won.
Fakhar wrote: I know many of the God fearing men and women out there have also [prayed.] I prayed for the best leader that will turn this country that has become more violent and racist under the Obama administration than ever into the American I once knew.
She continued: Want to talk about going downhill? Look what Obama has done
how he has made the entire country hate one another. Were you happy with how many people were killing each other in our own country? I work in news
and I hate to say it .. but the number of African Americans killing one another far outweighs the number of them being killed by whites. And now you have groups murdering police officers both black and white. How did this happen under the Obama administration? You guys want another administration like that?

She’s got it exactly right.
Fox has it exactly wrong.
This is why I don’t post nothing on Facebook. My sister is a big-time leftist and I’m not going to engage in any of these stupid pissing matches with her only to have someone tattle to my employer about it.
Personally I would just as soon that anyone in the MSM keep their mouths shut about their political preferences and try to keep a non partisan approach to their jobs.......
She used logic with the Left. Bad mistake. They think logic is hate or racism or white privilege or white nationalism, whatever that is.
Holy crap! get out of my head!
Methinks she has a very bright future at a conservative network like OANN.
Not guilty.

Trump needs to take this to the head of Fox news.
Hey Moe! Those were my words!
Faux is Saudi owned.
I called my cable network to request OANN be added to the choices. They can drop headline news.
Seems like a good lawsuit can be filed by the EEOC. Isn't "Creed" one of the protected classes?
A Fox affiliate, completely separate from Fox News
Fox affiliates show prime time programming from the Fox broadcast network between 8 pm and 10 pm, Monday through Friday. Any broadcasting outside those hours are the responsibility of the local affiliates. This lady clearly belongs to the local affiliate. No connection whatsoever to FNC.
NOT guilty!!!
#16. Well, hang them anyway!
This is why I avoid Facebook/twitter. The number of victims is long, some for innocent comments.
I agree with you, we should not know the politics of news people. In a perfect world we should not even be able to guess at their personal politics.
I do believe if she had cried about Hillary losing and blasted Trump (even if she had done it on air!) she would still have her job and tons of support. That is what is wrong with the MSM.
