KDFW Suspends Rebecca Aguilar After Controversial "Ambush"

"...It's like in one swoop it ruined my reputation. It ruined my name."

When you do what's right, that's the fist thing to go.

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Serves her right.

“I just think it’s really sad that I gave this company 14 years and I did about 6,000 interviews,”

I think that the company feels the same way.

This may be of interest to you.

Watching the video, the edit, etc, she aimed and fired, and found out that the public is equally armed.

I might have had some sympathy, but when someone hires a lawyer to supposedly fix their reputation, then the party’s over in my book. Appears the station agreed.

I’ve never liked Aguilar’s work. Terrible TV voice and overall, a poor reporter. Good riddance.

It's over at Fox4 for reporter Rebecca Aguilar

Well, next time you will know what not to do. Sometimes the only way you learn a lesson is when hard consequences follow a big screw-up.

Besides, you guys never seem to want to give a free pass to anyone else, why should you all be treated differently? Your standards ought to be higher.

Thanks for the link.

It also references NBC5’s “Rebeca Miller” who was also apparently let go, she has been there forever and was actually really good and when I mentioned it to my mom she got pretty upset, supposedly she has been struggling with her weight or something I don’t know.

Bye then, don’t come back.

Guilty

Texas is a hire and fire at will state and properly exercised their contractual option to release her.

It's like in one swoop it ruined my reputation. It ruined my name."

well, gee, lady - you had no compunction about trying to ruin someone else's life - it just happened to turn back on you.

And I imagine she never lost any sleep over any of those other 5,999 interviews she did which may have hurt other people.

Wonder if she ever thinks: "Oh, so this is how it feels."

This is *exactly* what is needed to *start* to get some evenhandedness in the old media. A few years ago, this reporter would have been lauded and promoted.

That is how we ended up in our current sad state of affairs.

[gunservative]

Her bosses should all be canned, as well.

[Alright_on_the_LeftCoast]

Adios Perra.....!!! Never did like her and her interview was appalling. Now she is blaming everyone else instead of taking responsibility for her own actions. Listen up dummy, YOUR mouth ruined your career, nothing else...now go away, your 15 minutes of fame are over.
