CBS AFFILIATES | SOCIAL MEDIA | TV BIZ Sinclair Fires EP Over Political Tweets, Warns Stations of ‘Liberal Bias’
By Kevin Eck on Feb. 14, 2017 - 9:48 AM14 Comments Sinclair_640 WWMT executive producer Randy Lubratich was fired from the Sinclair-owned station last week after violating the station group’s social media guidelines.
