Sinclair Sacks Two

A source is telling FTVLive that the Sinclair station in Sin City, KSNV fired two news staffers, after the pair had a dust up.

Word is that it happened on March 19th when an inexperienced Reporter was asked to cover a big story where the Tesla Service Center was set on fire by Anti-Musk protestors. 

The Photographer assigned to the story, asked the Reporter to come over to do an interview with a witness but when the Reporter came over, he was very rude to the person the photog found to interview.

That resulted in an escalating verbal and physical altercation. Then the Reporter requested that Police arrest the Photog and wanted to press charges. Police detained the photog before letting him go.

Word is that at least part of the incident was seen by stations watching the live feed from the Photog’s camera.

“After a brief HR investigation, Sinclair made the decision to fire both of them and wash themselves clean of the incident,” said a Vegas insider to FTVLive.

The Reporter is still listed on the meet the team page, but when you click the picture, it takes you to a dead link.
