...TV murderer was criticized by bosses...reprimanded for wearing an Obama badge to report
Daily Mail ^ | August 26, 2014 | BEN ASHFORD

Posted on 08/26/2015 4:19:23 PM PDT by maggief

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.

So apparently, he was ill equipped to do the job in the first place, which suggests he just got it because of affirmative action/diversity “bonus points”. Didn’t seem to help him much, did it?

I thought the same thing. I had a boss once that could not read. He tried so hard to cover it up.

So where are the “White Lives Matter” signs?

Odds are that two people who murdered were liberals -- it was a CBS station after all -- and the pattern for journ-o-listers is just that. But that mattered not one iota to Vester Flanagan. In spite of all likely sharing the same political views, all that counted was that they were white. And thus, he was able to justify his actions.

We're seeing pigment-obsessed blacks acting out against white who otherwise would vote the same as them. There are the BLM riots at Bernie Sanders meetings. And I guarantee you that when the inevitable race war hits its zenith, noted communist Shaun King will be seen as just another Kentucky-bred ofay. He'll be among the first to be executed by their firing squads.

From what I’ve read, journalism is one of the least diversified professions (and the first to criticize everyone else).

Out in the golf courses, adjacent to million-dollar mansions and whites consuming Chardonnay. What do you think? < /S >

I checked the history of this CBS station. For most of its existence, its employees were all white. It's only been recently that they've started hiring blacks and messkins. And that, of course, is what set up the conditions for the sodomite-holderite, Vester Flanagan/Bryce Williams to murder the two journ-o-lists.

Multiculturalism is a cancer on the Republic!

Affirmative action and megadoses of false self-esteem all his life and then suddenly smack up against the hard wall of actual required competency and ability.

Having a hard time with clarity - went through it frame by frame, couldn't get a clean LP shot, all I could make out was the WZE part, the rest jumbled - a bunch of 8s would do that.
 
He's got his phone out in his right hand, but kinda concerned about what's in his left - sunglasses, a knife (?)
 
 
Yeah, he was a nut out looking for a fight. It's a good thing the guy shooting this vid kept going. Wonder if he called the cops or just let it drop.
