A Miami News Photographer claims he was fired from WPLG in Miami for stealing ratings from the station.

Huh?

John Gustavo said that he was sacked by WPLG after only working at the Miami station for a few months.

He posted the news to his Instagram story saying that he was fired, because after he clocked out from work, he would go out and shoot his own breaking news stories and post them to social media.

He says that his work outside the station was taking away “eyeballs and ratings” from the station.

He is now asking viewers to help support him.

But, in another post to his IG, he says he was fired for taking eyeballs from the station and “Causing a small amount of damage to a work vehicle…”

How come I get the feeling he was sacked more for No. 2 and not so much for No. 1.

Stay tuned….
