News 12 Threatens Legal Action

News 12 New Jersey is threatening legal action against a former Reporter, who has been using some of his old clips under the fair use guidelines.

Rumors are that former Reporter Alex Zdan is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. He has not yet confirmed if he’s running (but he totally is).

Zdan used old clips from his time at News 12 to make a video posted on his website. The clips of him questioning Gov. Phil Murphy, U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, and others. 

“We demand that you cease and desist from any further infringement of News 12’s rights by immediately removing the News 12 Content and any other News 12-owned content from the referenced video and any other content exhibited by you on any platform,” News 12 said in a letter to Zdan.

“This is truly sad to see but unfortunately not surprising.  It’s another reason so many conservatives have lost faith in the press,” Zdan told the New Jersey Globe.  “During my career as a journalist, I did my job honestly, without fear or favor.  Anyone who thinks they can bully or intimidate me doesn’t know me at all.”
