TV Weatherman Disappears From Air After Decrying Corporate Policy

If you've ever been one of those viewers who believes there are dictums from head office that require station personnel to make you think the sky is falling to drive tune-in, you'll like this story. The rest may just question this guy's judgment, But either way, it's a fascinating tale of honesty, policy and the somewhat surprising reaction of advertisers.

A weatherman slammed his station's constant 'Code Red' warnings. It may cost him his job.

All the Sinclair stations are the same.  They hype the "Code Red" on virtually every story.  Staunch Trump supporters they spew garbage every day.

A harsh climate (pun intended) for a person of integrity.

Indeed!  There are a lot of Sinclair employees quietly looking for work elsewhere.  I know this as my clients  have been telling me they're getting reels virtually everyday.
