It takes a truly malignant line of reasoning to suspend Harmony for her comments. I don’t even want to know someone sick enough to do that.They probably kick dogs too.

Let’s hope this turns into a golden parachute for her.

Was anyone suspended for emoting about St. George Floyd? Article link goes to Google Search.

Just another gut punch for IL due to Leftists and wokeness. IL has to be the laughing stock of America.

I thought Channel 20 was owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which was supposedly a right wing chain, but they were sold to someone else about 6 months ago, which explains the change in policy

By the way, I did NOT say it justified the apparent change in policy. I simply thought it was odd that a station owned by a group (Sinclair) that was often derided as being “right wing”, would discipline an on air personality for giving a tribute to Charlie Kirk. I wondered if the station recently changed hands and it appears it did.

Wow, there was nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with what she did or said. Pathetic liberal ABC is so scared of what she said and how she said it, that they needed to fire her? Shows how weak the liberal left are and how little they care about people. Change the channel.

“how little they care about people.”

This right here.

Channel 7 (ABC) in Chicago has been a subservient water-carrier for the radical left in Chicago, and nationally, for years. Many, including me, no longer listen to ABC national news any longer as we sense it is just a propaganda operation. David Muir no longer hides his far left bias, which I can’t unsee once I saw it. Therefore no surprise they would attack a heart-felt tribute to Charlie Kirk in Springfield. Avoiding their network / content gives me a greater sense of peace.
