NEWS BRIEF: Commentator Bill Crane fired by WSB-TV after making fun of Trump
TV station can’t take a joke
Chief political analyst Bill Crane was fired on Monday by Channel 2 Action News after mocking Donald Trump on air the day before. Crane had referred to Trump’s “looming orange face” while commenting on Lindsey Graham’s persistent attempts to avoid testifying in Georgia’s election fraud probe.
WSB-TV’s general manager, Ray Carter, says Crane “uttered remarks not aligned with our commitment for fair and unbiased reporting and analysis.” Crane responded that he has referred to Trump as the “The Orange Man” many times in the past, adding, “I offered that it is part of Democratic Party strategy to keep President Trump’s fantasy of a stolen election in play, as well as to keep his orange face looming large as a Bogeyman to increase Democratic voter turnout.” Details: mediaite.com
