Maybe she can moderate the VP debate.
Okay, MSM. Everyone knows you’re in the tank for Obama. But do you have to be so obvious?
Karen Dinkins, a veteran reporter for Detroit’s WWJ Newsradio 950, was recently sent to cover an Obama rally. Which she did. IN AN OBAMA T-SHIRT.
To their credit, WWJ fired her. Harsh, yes, but the station has a long list of official firing offenses. These include poor evaluations, excessive tardiness and letting the cat out of the bag.
Detroit’s Fox affiliate covered the story this evening. Best quote from the video? J-school prof Ben Burns: "I tell my students, don’t do anything stupid. And she did something that was stupid. That probably would violate every ethics code in town."

Detroit's WWJ Newsradio 950 apparently has journalistic standards. They sent Karen Dinkins out to cover an Obama rally, and she did -- in an Obama t-shirt. As a result, the radio reporter was axed. This sounds harsh, but the blog...

Ahh, but this comment assumes that most members of the MSM HAVE ethics codes. The reason this clown was fired was NOT for wearing the shirt, but GETTING CAUGHT wearing the shirt by FOX.
As has been seen repeatedly, with gibsons assassination of Gov. Palin during his "interview", with curic's REFUSAL to call Gov. Palin Governor, the use of Gov. Palin's Down's Syndrom child, the intentionally harsh photgraph of Sen. McCain and the list goes on into infinity. There are no ethics when it comes to he MSM.

If Karen wore a McCain Palin T-shirt it would've been ok. WWJ NewsRadio 950 is known to be a very racist and conservative radio station. It only violated the one sided views of WWJ NewsRadio 950, CBS radio and Georgeann Herbert. BOYCOTT WWJ!!
