Two Fox News Anchors Resign Live On Air by Nobody: 1:37am On Nov 22, 2012 |
Two news anchors at a Fox affiliate station in Bangor, Maine have sensationally quit live on-air, citing a longstanding battle with senior management over journalistic practices. Co-anchors Cindy Michaels, 46, and Tony Consiglio, 28, shocked both staff and viewers by announcing their resignations at the end of Tuesday’s 6 p.m. broadcast. Michaels, who was also the station’s news director, said she had grown frustrated with senior management's influence and desire for 'somewhat unbalanced news,' particularly in relation to politics. There was a constant disrespecting and belittling of staff and we both felt there was a lack of knowledge from ownership and upper management in running a newsroom to the extent that I was not allowed to structure and direct them professionally,’ Michaels told BangorDailyNews.com. Michaels, who joined the station in 2006, said a balanced journalistic approach was often frowned upon, although she wasn't specific about what political leaning senior management had expected the reporters to adopt. ‘I couldn’t do everything I wanted to as a news director. There was a regular undoing of decisions,’ she said. Both Michaels and Consiglio said the idea to resign was something they had talked about for some time and so felt was right to make as a joint decision. ‘I just wanted to know that I was doing the best job I could and was being honest and ethical as a journalist, and I thought there were times when I wasn’t able to do that,’ said Consiglio, who joined the station in 2006 as a sports reporter before becoming a news anchor the next year. Neither presenter told anyone of their decision prior to Tuesday’s broadcast for fear they wouldn’t be given the opportunity to say goodbye to viewers.

They were not being "ethical" as they claimed by reporting the irregularities of the company on the public domain. Anyway, it's not new for us to see reporters/journalists talk about the 'bad experiences' they once had but it's a misuse of platform too to announce their resignation to viewers on the platform they paid not for - they must pay for that airtime They attempted to seek the sympathy of clients they had 'garnered' whilst working with the station - hence, these viewers will follow them to their next base. . . UNETHICAL PRACTICES! This generation is witnessing different breaches of protocol when it comes to employment contract these days - from announcing resignation on facebook to the twitter scandal that occured recently. . . 4 Likes |

If people followed news reports and commentaries of FOX News when Obama won his re-election to the White House, then it wouldn't come as a surprise the claims of the broadcasters that objectivity is shunned by the management of Fox News. Because the management of FOX News wanted Mitt Romney to win the election, their report of Obama's victory at the polls was very poor |

This is really nice... Wishing them the very best of luck. I just they are Ω̶̣̣̥̇̊OΤ̣̣̥ lovers, because it seems so strange for the lady to quit on the same day!!! BTW, if this were 9ja, they would think twice before taking such decisions because jobs are Ω̶̣̣̥̇̊OΤ̣̣̥ easy to come by these days!!! I wonder what her husband or spouse thinks of such decision and well, as for the guy I just hope you have stashed a lot of money cause you're going to need it. God help them. |

Hope those guys at Punch, The Nation, TV & Radio Continental can also shame thier Management by throwing in the towel mid-air. ...but are there jobs out there for them? No. So they will prefer dying there in silence. So sad how lies, mischief and propaganda are cooked up by top management and forced down the throat of innocent ladies and gentlemen all in the name of employment. |
