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.

Well Surprise Surprise, the killer was an Obama lover, I tell ya Im shocked, shocked I tell ya/sarc
Will the media call out Obama supporters for being nuts, nah of course not..had this guy been a Conservative that is ALL we would have heard about
wait... are you saying that a gay, black, obama-voter was mentally unstable enough to commit a hate crime against two heterosexual white people?
i’m shocked at this revelation.
SHOCKED!
SHOCKED!!
Actually, the one redeeming quality in this animal was that Obama sticker. At least his viewers were told that he was biased, unlike Dan Rather, who was likely more biased against Republicans but would NEVER admit it.
So he gets punished for the one thing he did right - I guess that’s today’s media.
You’re right, and that is the most obvious short-coming of affirmative action: All of the “preferred minorities” get bumped up a rank or two, and find themselves behind everyone around them. I watched them drop out as college freshmen after listening to professors use big words they didn’t understand (the looks on their faces as they realized they were the ONLY ONES who didn’t comprehend were pitiful - and I’m sure this led to some rage). Rather then treating them as whites and letting them learn (and fail) like anyone else, they are deluded into believing they ARE all that - and when they realized they’ve been deceived for years it must sting...
We need to call for IMMEDIATE Obama Supporter control laws.
Oh the irony.
