Racist Liberal Reporter fired

Time and again the evidence and "FACTS" Safety that the liberal press, is biased, lies and when they have nothing negatiive to report, they make it up


A reporter for a Michigan newspaper was fired Monday night after calling Michigan Senate Republican candidate John James’ campaign looking for an interview and thought she hung up the phone before leaving a voicemail saying “fucking John James … that would suck.”

The news comes after Brenda Battel, a reporter for Huron Daily Tribune, left the voicemail (https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/05/reporter-john-james-midterms-michigan/) on James’ campaign offices phone number at 3:40 PM Monday, requesting the interview for Wednesday, the day after the Nov. 6 midterm elections. In the voicemail, she expresses her interest in interviewing James, believes she hung up the phone, and then goes on to curse about a possible James victory, saying she doesn’t think it will happen.


“I have listened to the voicemail left by Brenda Battel to Mr. James’ campaign, and find no reason to defend this behavior,” Huron Daily Tribune editor Kate Hessling said in a statement (https://www.michigansthumb.com/news/article/Tribune-fires-staff-writer-13365429.php). “Brenda Battel’s employment has been immediately terminated.”


“The Huron Daily Tribune sincerely apologizes to Mr. James and to the public,” she continued. “These statements do not represent the views of the Tribune as a whole, nor do they reflect the actions of a responsible journalist.” (RELATED: Michigan Reporter Caught On Tape Saying ‘F**k Could You Imagine John James Winning’) (https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/05/reporter-john-james-midterms-michigan/)


In the audio of Battel’s voicemail, first obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation, Battel could be heard saying: “Hi, my name is Brenda Battel, I’m a reporter with the Huron Daily Tribune in Bad Axe, Michigan.”


“I’m looking to set up an appointment with Mr. James for some time on Wednesday for a phone interview regarding the election results,” Battel continued. “I’m probably going to send an email over to the info@johnjamesforsenate.com with some details. Um, if you’d like to call me back, my number is … extension … Thank you.”



Battel attempts to hang up after giving her number, but the phone remains connected.
“Man, if he beats her… Jesus! Fucking John James. That would suck! Whew, I don’t think it’s going to happen though,” Battel continued.

while its always entertaining to see "journalists" exposed, i heard nothing racist/sexist in her words. and do not think this rose to the level of being fired.

that said, it does not make me unhappy, either.

"monkeying something up".

its a well known term used to imply something is messing things up, "throwing a wrench into it" is also a term used with the same meaning.

"flinging poo" comes from monkeys throwing their feces.

is that racist as well, oh arbitrager of all things "iffy"?

Uh no she should be fired for violating the trust of readers. She parades around like many acting like they are not partisan.

I would cancel any subscription if she were a "reporter".
