The Mess in Milwaukee
/As FTVLive told you, WDJT News Director Jessie Garcia fired Meteorologist Sam Kuffel for her vulgar post about Elon Musk and what some believe was a “Nazi” salute at the inauguration.
While it was certainly within bounds to question Musk’s actions, Kuffel voicing her opinion is not something anyone in a TV newsroom should do.
But inside the newsroom are also questioning the actions of Garcia.
After the firing, an employee tells FTVLive, “She (Garcia) forced other employees to man the phones all day and night to handle the calls the station received, pulling nightside reporters off stories to do so, and refusing to answer them herself and lock herself away in her office. She also didn’t explain the situation to any employees, nor offer any help or guidance….”
The staffer also believes that Garcia is more interested in selling her book called “The Business Trip” which starts off with a….ummm interesting, passage.
The insider says that Garcia is having Reporters cover stories about her book as well.
Maybe if she wasn’t busy writing and selling books, she could have been guiding the employee who made the Musk post.
Just saying….
