ABC, Sinclair anchor, "I'm going to ram a hot poker up David Hoggs ass"

[centerleftFL]

Well let's see. We have a grown-up, a major network's local TV anchor bullying a KID, using sexual assault imagery on a KID. Well at least it was "only" a tweet, huh? Gotta love those family values types and their media empires.

An anchor at a Sinclair-owned ABC affiliate in St. Louis has resigned from his job amid the fallout from a social media post where he threatened to sexually assault Parkland survivor David Hogg with “a hot poker.”

The Washington Post reported Monday evening that KDNL anchor Jamie Allman resigned following an advertiser boycott after a March 26 tweet where he said he was “hanging out getting ready to ram a hot poker up David Hogg’s ass tomorrow.”

Another victim of the Hogg-wash. Just when I was about to volunteer to hold his ass cheeks open.

 

[Political Junky]

Another anally obsessed con.

 

[gallantwarrior]

The kid decided to take on the grown ups. F**k the kid. If he can't take the heat, stomp his spoiled brat ass back to the rec room. I'm so sick of hearing how the grown ups are picking on some shit-assed kid who decided to join the grown up room. Hogg needs to sit his dumb-assed self back at the kid's table.

 

[Witchit]

Who was it that couldn’t take the heat, and so he resigned? It wasn’t Hogg.

He threatened a sexual act on a minor. What a complete dumb fuck.

Oh please! If I say I'm going to "kick your ass" what am I threatening to do?

Btw, this is a test of your honesty.

No need for you to brag. We all know you are the best at holding your ass cheeks apart.

In your case, everybody knows you couldn't kick anybody's ass.

I'm not sure what there is to say. Allman resigned (or was asked to do so). That, as has been the case of other major network personalities, was quite likely what he had to do as a result of a business decision by his station's or network's management.

About all I can say about the Allman matter is that it seems, based only on the Allman matter, that Sinclair may have more integrity, and its management be of better character, than Fox, which for years protected (to the tun of tens of millions in payouts, no less) O'Reilly and has apparently made no effort to censure Ingraham for her attacks of a minor who'd been through a traumatic experience that she has not ever come close to having and that she couldn't even bring herself to take a sympathetic stance toward, even if not an empathetic one.

Camera Hogg is probably going to cost the idiot Democrats several Senate Seats

• 3 CNN Journalists Resign After Retracted Story on Trump Ally
  
  "CNN’s president, Jeffrey A. Zucker, has invested enormous resources into political and investigative coverage of the Trump White House, and he was deeply upset by last week’s reporting errors, according to two people briefed on the network’s discussions over the weekend who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
  
  "Mr. Zucker helped lead an internal inquiry that found the story was published despite concerns expressed by CNN’s standards team, the people said. Thomas Frank, a veteran reporter who wrote the story; Lex Haris, executive editor of investigations; and Eric Lichtblau, an investigative editor and reporter hired from The New York Times in April, submitted resignations on Monday morning."

• NFL reporter says he was fired by NY Post for anti-Donald Trump tweet

It appears that journalists are, by their employers, viewed as being mouthpieces for the firm that employs them and as such, while they are given great latitude in expressing their thoughts in the form of editorials, they are not given the same latitude when posting tweets as private citizens.

That firm managers are of the mind to do that isn't surprising to me. I'd demand the resignation of any consultant who expressed controversial views that might compromise a relationship the firm has with one or more clients, provided they expressed such views in a way that the client(s) were made aware of it. We tell our people that they are free to think and do whatever suits them to do, but that when in doubt, they should keep their personal lives out of the purview of the firm's clients. Obviously, there's a fine line between what can and cannot be shared. Most folks know where that line is, but some don't and they suffer when their poor judgment in that regard compels them to cross the line.

Your contrast you attempt to draw here tacitly admits that Hogg is a Dimocrat operative.

 

[Mac1958]

It's a tough call, but I think this bizarro nutter obsession with Hogg - a high school kid who went through a horrific, bloody tragedy - may be the dumbest thing I've seen yet in the political world.

This is what happens when people become so lost in their ideology that they lose connection with reality.

Fucking amazing.

[AvgGuyIA]

In your case, everybody knows you couldn't kick anybody's ass

True. Because you'd be flat on your ass.

Hogg is their new Cindy Shehan. Soon he'll be kicked to the sidelines.

What you gonna do, Caps Lock me into submission? Try to imagine my fear.

 

[Two Thumbs]

if the kid wasn't such a hateful disrespectful fucking moron, I'd say this is way overboard.

but anyone that thinks we are a democracy and our rights can be voted away...

 

[AsianTrumpSupporter]

David Hogg would probably enjoy it.
