You’d be Lucky to Get Fired Like This
You may have heard about the “documentary” that Sinclair Broadcasting intends to force on its affiliates, I won’t get into the details of that right now. What I want to talk about is Jon Lieberman. Jon got fired by Sinclair this week, because he spoke out against this “documentary.” When I saw this on the local news last night after the game I was stunned. Not because Sinclair would do that, but because I know Jon, or at least I did. We worked fast food together when we were in high school. He was in the same class as my little brother. Later I was amused to see his face on TV giving a serious news report. And I was happy to see him succeed in his broadcasting career.
When I heard why he got fired, I could not have been prouder to say that I know him. Reporters are supposed to stand up for the Truth. And he did. I wish I had a phone number or an email address for him. I would let him know that I think he did the right thing and that I’m proud of him. But I don’t so I’ll simply state right here:
My hat is off to you Jon!
