Warped TV reporter Vester Lee Flanagan exasperated bosses with his 'stiff and nervous' delivery, his inability to use a teleprompter - and by wearing a President Obama badge during an election report, Daily Mail Online can reveal.
Management at WDBJ dubbed the failed newsman the 'human tape recorder' because he frequently parroted what interviewees had told him rather than doing his own journalism.
Flanagan, 41, clashed repeatedly with photojournalists, belittling them in public and intimidating them with his violent temper, according to internal reports.
He was also censured for wearing an Obama sticker while recording a segment at a polling booth during the 2012 US Presidential Election - a clear breach of journalistic impartiality.
The complaints are outlined in court papers seen by Daily Mail Online that include a scathing performance review carried out prior to his termination in Feb 2013.

EXCLUSIVE: 'The human tape recorder' - how TV murderer was criticized by bosses for appalling journalistic standards and reprimanded for wearing an Obama badge to report on elections
Further proof that LIBs should never be allowed to carry guns or knives.
Unexpected.
This story will be gone in 3 days.
Or work in journalism.
You coulda knocked Twinkie over with a feather when I read that part about him wearing an Obama sticker. - Is he one of Obama’s chilluns?
My wife worked as a local reporter for 25 years or so. As soon as she heard about this guy in general, she recited “the type.” Then when she saw he was black, she said, “He must have really been difficult to work with, because stations love having a diversified staff.”
He seems to fit her profile: not very good at his job and everything that went wrong was somebody else’s fault.
We know why he was hired. Affirmative action. I’d venture to say he couldn’t read a teleprompter because he couldn’t READ.
Right down the ol’ Memory Hole.
So where are the “White Lives Matter” signs?
We need a screencap of him wearing that Obama badge.
Actually, LIBs should never be allowed to have any authority, responsibility or power.
He improved his web posting. :o/
I favor the wholesale banning of any weapon of any type for all leftists. In fact since liberals are a subhuman species, they're best contained in cages, like the lower form of life they are. Had Vicki Gardner, the person being interviewed by the Roanoke CBS station been armed, the holderite-sodomite Vester Flanagan would have been dead in short order.
An armed society (except subhuman liberals) is a polite society.
Well, at least by wearing the Obama badge, he was honest. The rest of the so-called journalists should be forced to wear Obama badges. At least the public can be reminded of who they are when they are reporting the news.
Whoa!
