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.

The MSM's obvious lack of interest is a screaming indictment.

F them, may every major newspaper and every major network go belly up, their employees thrown out of work and reduced to banging tin cups on the sidewalk.

May the entire editorial board of the NYT be squished by a runaway DSNY truck.

Has it come out whether he did the background check purchase of a weapon or not?

[lowbridge]

Why did they hire him in the first place anyways? Affirmative action hire maybe?

Pretty sure I survived a run in by John Wayne Gacy. God was looking out for me.

“sociopathic thug” = “Gentile Giant”
Didn’t we see this in a”far away place”, called Ferguson?
Others on the list: Aaron Hernandez and Lawrence Phillips(no gun).

Probably his resume was only slightly less stellar the the (p)resident’s resume.

Hillary had a fine picture made with her supporter, John Wayne Gacy
You're thinking of Roslyn Carter, Jimmuh's wife and former first lady.

You don’t even need to think, just read off the teleprompter, how difficult is it?

It's tough when the words roll by at 80 per minute and it takes you 10 seconds to figure out each word. /s

Why did they hire him in the first place anyways? Affirmative action hire maybe? Probably affirmative action, but also probably because most companies don't give references any more - just indisputable facts - dates of employment and attendance records. If a company gives a bad recommendation, the job applicant will sue them. If a company gives a good recommendation and the employee turns out to be nuts, the new company will sue the old company. This guy probably sent his resume and 3 good pieces of film of him (probably the only 3 good ones out of 500) and got hired.

How much ‘hate whitey’ has been pressed into him since Bambi took over? What was it - ‘get in their faces’? Didn’t Louis recently stammer for blacks to rise up? Consistent messages of hate.

[rktman]

But that’s okay because of the oppression they’ve had to endure for the last 150+ years. Or something.

Had he lived he'd have made a good addition to these other mug shots:

[who knows what evil?]

Has it come out anywhere WHY the late cameraman went to the station’s HR department about ‘Bryce’?

[onedoug]

The mentality of supporters of this so-called President.

“I’m surprised MSNBC didn’t hire him.”

They already have a CEO...

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

In other words, he wasn’t competent for the job he had.

I worked with one such as this for a short time. I resigned. Yes, he was also gay. Yes, he needed an ass kicking, as I was not the only woman he bullied. I thank God every day I am gone from that place.

I wonder what percentage of violent criminals and murderers are liberals, AKA Democrats? More than 99 percent?
