Sinclair Rebel Fired

As Luke pointed out in comments and My Dad pointed out again, Sinclair Broadcasting has fired the reporter who spoke out against their airing of "Stolen Honor."

The justification?

"Everyone is entitled to their personal opinion, including Jon Leiberman," said Mark Hyman, Sinclair's vice president for corporate relations. "We're disappointed that Jon's political views caused him to violate policy and speak to the press about company business."

Imagine, if you will, that Jon Leiberman had spoken out in support of Sinclair. Do you suppose that would have caused him to be fired?
