Last week, FTVLive told you that Tegna’s WKYC (Cleveland) has hired a comic to anchor the station’s newscast.

The station hired comic Mike Polk Jr as they continue to thumb their nose at Journalists everywhere.

And it is clear that the rules are different for the comics that become news anchors.

This is a recent tweet that Polk sent out in which he calls President Trump “moronic” and ignorant.

Now, you have to wonder how long a ‘real” News Anchor would last if they sent out a tweet like this.

It seems the days of non-objective journalism is over at Tegna and now you can just say and do what you want.
