Anchor Fired for Starbucks Cup on the Set

While here in the U.S., we often see TV Anchors pimping local businesses and companies on air and on social media, a TV network in Turkey still believes in doing journalism correctly.

Turkish Anchor Meltem Gunay was fired after she had a Starbucks coffee cup sitting on the news set. The channel issued a strong condemnation of the presenter and director working there and made it clear that it was terminating their contracts.

"The presenters on the channel are forbidden under any circumstances to advertise any company covertly," they said.
