What a fucktoon: Yeah, it's WNT, but I got it from a friend who got it as an internal e-mail at one of the other Houston stations. Glad the dumbass got "disciplined". If he's working for KPRC, he can't be too bright in the first place...
The very fact that he's Mexican suggests to me he supports illegal immigration. If they were truly responsible journalists he wouldn't be allowed outside of the janitor's closet.
Amazing how some people assume that "Freedom of Speech" means that you can say any damn thing you want any time you want. It's just a bit more complex than that.
Ugh, I hate it when people spam my e-mail with political shit, and religious shit. I tell 'em to fuck themselves.
Same here, usually, but this is more of a laugh at a fellow "professional". A few years ago, one of our production crewmembers snuck into a governors(?) news conference by passing themselves off as one of the news crews. They got tossed from the news conference when they started shouting a bunch of political shit at the governor (or whoever it was). Then they got tossed from their job when they got back to the station.
Oh, you can say anything you want. But free speech in no way guarantees there won't be consquences, only that the government won't lock you up for your opinion.
That's what the weapons are for, to protect me from those consequences. No consequences for me!! EVER!! FOREVER!!
I remember when Channel 2 was a respectable station. Then again, Marvin Zindler at 13 is a family friend.
I haven't watched 2 in years. I'll watch Barney before I'll watch 'em. That guy had to know he'd get heat for that.
Clearly the guy deserves to be disciplined. But I'm guessing at some point in the last five years, someone on both the local news and the national news appeared with an American flag lapel pin. Strictly speaking, having that is just as telling that the person isn't merely an objective observer of events as this camera person. It's just as Americans we mostly support that sort of subjectivity.
Yeah, seeing that these news agencies were founded by Americans, in America, with American employees (for the most part) and American viewership. In short, they are American companies. Thus American flag lapel pins are allowed. America. Fuck yeah!
Your employer setting standards for appearance and conduct while you're on the clock has ZERO to do with free speech. Or off the clock, for that matter. If I don't want to employ someone who openly supports amnesty for illegals, I am within my rights to turn them away applicants as well as disciplining and/or firing current employees.
