Below I will post a quote from the news reporter who says he quit because the managers were forcing politics on them.

It will be interesting to know HOW these "journalists" were told to do their job. Just knowing the ages of these two, my GUESS is that they are raging liberals, pissed off because they were told to BALANCE their news.

We'll see.

Michaels said there were numerous things that contributed to their decisions.

“It’s a culmination of ongoing occurrences that took place the last several years and basically involved upper management practices that we both strongly disagreed with,” she explained. “It’s a little complicated, but we were expected to do somewhat unbalanced news, politically, in general.”

Your local radio news or television news or newspaper news provider simply grabs the Associated Press feed and regurgitates it via the radio waves, television waves, or printed page. Your local news outlet does not do its own research and reporting on national or international news.

If your local news outlet does not carry the AP falsifications, it carries the ABC, or NBC, or CBS falsifications (radio and TV), or Reuters or one of a small handful of others.

Conservatives need to spend less energy complaining about Obama and more energy actively engaging local news editors regarding their blatant lack of journalist integrity by carrying feeds from dishonest wire services.

WVII and WFVX are ABC and Fox affiliates, respectively, owned by Rockfleet. In 2006, general manager Michael Palmer said no more stories on the hoax that is global warming because it had gone from science to politics being pushed by the mainstream media. He compared GW to the killer bee and Y2K scares. Stations are expanding, hiring new staff with benefits, and revenues increasing.

Tells me the news readers who resigned are typical whiny lefties who wanted to report the standard Marxist propaganda instead of the truth.

I realize there is a play on words in the headline, but we all should know that the correct term is “anchors aweigh.”

(might come up at dinner tomorrow)

Shouldn’t that headline read ‘Anchors aweigh’?
