Somebody e-mail Olberman that they have already fired the Sinclair
guy - Jon Leiberman. He did a story on what Leiberman said in the Baltimore Sun but didn't include that he has been fired.

My Outlook doesn't work or else I would do it myself.

Thanks.

2. I know. I'm watching him but I also saw Olberman's story before this.
Zahn is kind of being an ass, IMO.

5. Zahn was a b*tch. She was interrogating Lieberman like he was a criminal.
Well you DID violate company policy! Not once, but twice! You KNEW you would get FIRED for this!

4. Thank you. You're a doll. It is very frustrating but we can't seem to
get it fixed so I come and beg for someone else to e-mail MSNBC.

8. Olbermann wrote about his firing. It is in his blog
>>And before I check out a quick word of praise for Jon Leiberman, the lead political reporter for the Sinclair Stations. He told the Baltimore Sun's David Folkenflik that his employers had crossed a line by deciding to pre-empt primetime network programming to show the Anti-Kerry film "Stolen Honor" on each of its 62 stations beginning Thursday night. "It's biased political propaganda, with clear intentions to sway this election," Leiberman said. "For me, it's not about right or left, it's about what's right or wrong in news coverage this close to an election. I have nothing to gain— and really, I have a lot to lose. At the end of the day, though, all you really have is your credibility."

Jon is 29, and he and I share a great agent. And he knows tonight just how much he had to lose— Sinclair fired him tonight.

He'll get another gig, probably quickly— those kind of ethics are rare and still a commodity even in our vexed times.

And ultimately, he only lost a job. Sinclair Television lost any shred of credibility or objectivity it might have had left. Shame on them.
