NBC Dumps Reporter Who Wore MAGA Hat While Covering a Trump Rally
2018-10-08
[Townhall] A reporter who worked for NBC affiliate KTTC-TV in Minnesota was fired on Friday for sporting a "Make America Great Again" hat while covering a Trump rally.

Jim Bunner, one of the station's multimedia journalists, covered the Trump rally in Rochester, Minnesota on Thursday. While at the rally he wore a red MAGA hat and a jacket with the station's logo.

The very next day, Bunner was let go.

"He violated our policy so he’s no longer with us," Noel Sederstrom, news director for KTTC, told BuzzFeed News. "We don’t allow our people to wear campaign clothing while on assignment."

#4  So, you can utter pro-DNC/Dem blather all day, but it is forbidden to wear something, particularly against the "party line".

#3  Couldn't he say he was infiltrating the enemy camp?

#2  Our policy says on air reporters are only allowed to show support for Democrats and other far left organizations.

We find this action to be deplorable.

#1  I remember Saddam's Mukhabarat minders being fond of blue UN baseball caps... but only for a while.
