Reporter who wrote Facebook post saying IRS hammered him after Obama interview now FIRED by KMOV

Dana Loesh has the details:

My producer, Kevin, was just contacted by someone with Conners’s legal team. KMOV just terminated his [employment] on the basis of, according to them, his Facebook post…

And here’s the official statement from the station:

(KMOV) — We regret to announce that Larry Conners is no longer a KMOV news reporter. Larry was a valued member of KMOV for a long time, and we will miss him.
For KMOV, there is no higher cause than unbiased, objective news reporting. It is what our viewers expect and it is what we work very hard to deliver. We can accept no less. Larry is certainly entitled to his opinion, but taking a personal political position on one of the Station’s Facebook pages creates an appearance of bias that is inconsistent with important journalistic standards. Larry’s departure has nothing to do with the particular position he took, but it does have to do with our belief that his actions made it impossible for him to report for KMOV on certain political matters going forward without at least an appearance of bias. Bringing you accurate and unbiased reporting is the reason we exist.

Ugh. He told what he thought was the truth and his station couldn’t even stand behind him.
Perhaps Fox News needs another good reporter?
Also good reporting isn’t about bias, it’s about truth. And truth knows no bias.
