Someone actually fired a political analyst for calling Donald Trump “orange face.”
Not only was the man fired, but he was someone that had worked at the station for almost two decades.
This is quite a shock, but I am sure it has Donald Trump laughing his butt off today.
You Have to Go
Bill Crane, has been with WSB-TV since 2006.
He is the local political analyst and tries to be a funny guy when he can.
When he was asked to analyze the recent Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) drama, he responded, “Labor Day is when undecided voters and nonaligned voters really start focusing on the election ahead.
“And keeping Donald Trump and his fantasy of elections being stolen in November of 2020 in play keeps Donald Trump and his looming orange face in front of voters at a time when they’re trying to decide how they’re going to vote.”
Now, if we are being honest, we have heard far worse come out of the mouth of the likes of Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, as well as the morning Fox & Friends crew, but management was having none of it.
After the comment was made, Ray Carter, the vice president and general manager of WSB-TV, stated that Crane’s comments “are not aligned with our commitment to fair and unbiased reporting and analysis” and that the station was cutting its ties with Crane “effective immediately.”
Crane offered the standard PC apology, adding that all he tries to do is “call the hard balls and strikes on either side, and attempt to do so with a bit of humor, sarcasm, the occasional pun and tongue in cheek.”
“Orange face” is probably one of the tamer things a media member has called Trump over the last six years, but this time it got someone fired… SMH.
