Omaha Reporter Fired for Supporting Candidate

Can reporters be friends and supporters of political candidates? The only reason this lady was fired was because of her picture that was posted all over when this story was mentioned. Why was her picture used. Hmmm.....maybe because she is attractive? I honestly think anyone should be able to support a candidate. It should be up to the viewer to then determine if they think the reporter can still be objective.

True, but again, if viewers decided she wasn't objective and wrote into the network to say so, then the network would be smart to fire her. Don't know if that happened but you know, as always, business decision.

I agree with the viewers comment.

With the way female reporters are looking these days, maybe the network decided she wasn't pretty enough and used her political donations as ammo to fire her.

This is said somewhat tongue in cheek, but there is a bit of truth to it as well... you never know.
