Blue Dogs Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Unless you've been living under a rock, it seems that Fox 26 decided to let go of Reporter/Midday anchor Scarlett Fakhar for only expressing her honest political viewpoints to friends on social media, but somebody got all uptight, getting their feelings hurt & complained to the higher-ups of Fox 26. Anyone else's thoughts on this ? http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Scarlett-Fakhar-fired-KRIV-Trump-10621181.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADCS Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If you're the face of a company, don't be surprise when they can your ass for saying things that might turn viewers away. Nothing is private on social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I don't watch the news so I have never heard of this women but, one would think that a women who is supposed paid to objectively report the facts would understand that her personal views should be kept, well, personal as some may say that it is impossible to separate the one from the other. if she wishes to make a living as a political commentator or pundit, that is (and likely would have been) an entirely different matter. IMO, There is a distinction. moving on, she may well have a terrific job offer waiting for her at Cable Something. She can be a commentator, not a journalist, and can discuss whatever bullets or daisies she wishes.

Ross Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 You have the right to speak your mind, your employer has the right to can you for doing so. Zero sympathy here, as she had to know that getting political could have negative consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJac Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Anybody in the public eye like that should know to keep their personal views private. Seems she may have been a bit naive as to how this all works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
