If the real reason she was fired was this "admission" of political preference, FOXNEWS was wrong. If I'm reading the story correctly, her reporting was not covering the political aspect of the event, but the entertainment value. Beyond that, she was commenting on her past voting record, not on her future voting preference. Her comment that "you're going to win" is no different than commentators stating that Hillary has no chance to win the Dem nomination.

I don't understand why a journalist cannot reveal who she voted for. Of all the power that a journalist yields, that single vote is probably the most inconsequential.

So they can't reveal who they voted for, but they can slant stories?

When Eric Severide started putting his anaylisis on the news he just reported, I saw the beginning of a line that blurred the difference between news and editorializing.

I no longer differentiate - they are all editorialists - some hide it better than others. Some seek truth, but they still show their opinions in doing so.

The closest to pure news was when the old teletype was buzzing 24/7. "Just the facts Ma'm."

In this election, the libs and MSM have dropped all pretense and the battle of the libs (Hillary crowd vs Obama crowd) have exposed that they are biased and no longer in the closet.

The electorate it seems aren't interestested in truth any longer, just bias in support oftheir positions.

The libs have successfully divided and polarized the country by what is good for the special interests, not the nation as a whole.
