This Fox employee expressed her political preference in public and got canned for it. Too bad she didn’t work for MSNBC, she’d have gotten a promotion.
TVNewser Exclusive: A 24-year-old Fox News Channel production assistant was fired this morning for something she said during the red carpet arrivals at the Time 100 Gala last night.
Insiders tell us the assistant, identified as Jennifer Locke, was on assignment with a camera crew to cover the entertainment angle of the event. When Sen. John McCain walked by, the assistant said, “I voted for you in the primary, you’re going to win.”
McCain was overheard saying to her, “You’re not supposed to reveal that.” Locke apparently continued to explain that she is the daughter of a Vietnam veteran.
Insiders who were at the event were surprised and shocked to hear the disclosure, which was recorded on videotape. A Fox News insider called it “journalistically unacceptable.” An FNC spokesperson would not comment on the personnel matter but did confirm Locke is no longer with the company, where she’d worked for a couple of years.

And denigrates American troops by insisting that “we’ve shown weakness to the enemy, and to the terrorists” because “we will let our own people be killed for no good reason.”

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews gets a “tingle that runs up his leg” when he thinks of Obama:
I have to tell you, you know, it’s part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama’s speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often. No, seriously. It’s a dramatic event.

I’ll bet it is.

CNN female ‘journalists’ titter like a bunch of ditzy school girls over Obama on a recent trip:

Brian Williams, from NBC News, held up a Time Magazine with a smiling Obama on the cover and gushed:
“Last time we were together, I handed you a copy of Newsweek, it was the first time you’d held it in your hands with you on the cover. Have you yet held this in your hands?”

The entire interview consisted of a sickening love-fest void of substance and hard questions.
Every MSM outlet is chock full of reporters who wear their bias on their sleeve. Objectivity is not a part of their journalistic repertoire. They don’t even bother to hide it.
Yet, when Ms. Locke let Senator McCain know that she supported him with her vote, it’s deemed “journalistically unacceptable”.
Well, I guess Fox News really didn’t have a choice. It’s a double standard; leftwing media hacks are free to espouse their political preferences carte blanche, but conservative networks never hear the end of it.
