Citing a longstanding battle with upper management over journalistic practices at their Bangor TV stations, news co-anchors Cindy Michaels and Tony Consiglio announced their resignations at the end of Tuesday’s 6 p.m. newscast...

Both Michaels, 46, and Consiglio, 28, said frustration over the way they were allowed or told to do their jobs —something that has been steadily mounting for the last four years —became too much for them...

I cut and pasted the title from the web site. Perhaps the web’s title was changed, but I didn’t alter anything.

That was NOT the title when I posted the story this morning.

I suspect the site kept the copy, but changed the headline.

hahahahalol

I major in reading between the lines and intuition, why would a little young thing like her wreck her career except to go along with some middle aged whack job’s mid life crisis?, huh?

According to twister881:

WVII and WFVX are ABC and Fox affiliates, respectively, owned by Rockfleet. In 2006, general manager Michael Palmer said no more stories on the hoax that is global warming because it had gone from science to politics being pushed by the mainstream media.

Tells me the news readers who resigned are typical whiny lefties who wanted to report the standard Marxist propaganda instead of the truth.
