KPSP/KESQ found themselves playing a bit of defense after their main Anchor Kris Long went off the rails with a Facebook post that defended and supported Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

As to why Long, who has over 40 years experience in the business thought that sharing his personal opinion was ethically ok, is anyone’s guess.

This was not some kid fresh out of school making this mistake, this is a guy that Anchored the news in Chicago and Pittsburgh, before being knocked down the food chain to Palm Springs, CA.

This is what the station posted to their website and they say that the matter is being handled internally.

Long still stands by what he said, although he deleted the post.
