WATCH: In a Facebook Live stream, Sinclair-owned CBS Austin multimedia journalist Vinny Martorano refuses his bosses' order to spin and downplay the rally in support of the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran.
In the video, Martorano is seemingly practicing for a live shot and noting that people were "celebrating the attack. He's then hand a phone:
CREW MEMBER: [Hands him a phone]
MARTORANO: What does that mean?
CREW MEMBER: It means they don't want us to focus on this.
MARTORANO: [Shrugs] All right. [Hands the phone back] Well, I am.
RALLY CHANTS: Thank you Trump! Thank you Trump! Thank you Trump! Thank you Trump! Thank you Bibi! Thank you Bibi! Thank you Bibi! Thank you Bibi!
(...)
MARTORANO (presumably in the live shot): All right. There are a lot of mixed opinions across Austin about the joint attack between the United States and Israel against Iran that happened earlier this morning. Some people like this group behind me are thanking Trump and the United States government for following through with this attack against Iran.

Good for Vinny Martorano .... shame on Sinclair.
Hope they don’t fire Vinny....but, Newsmax would maybe hire him.
Doing what journalists are supposed to do - report the truth, not spinning the story.
Just when you think you can’t hate the press enough, along they come to make you hate them more!
A very bad combination.
guess he will need a new job in the city of tolerance.
Is any media + Austin a good combo?
