Just wondering what her complaint will be? That they don't have any men in the weather department?? Perhaps they need to partner with WDIV and share some 'talent'?? :barf

Just stumbled across this page:
https://dailycaller.com/2021/06/21/cbs- ... t-veritas/
On that page, there is an audio recording of Moss and Chuck Davis.

Chuck Davis does a good job of outlining to her his impressions of her action.

From FTV Live..

We have another news person that has gone rogue and torpedoed her career to lash out at her station and company.

April Moss works at the low-rated WWJ, the CBS O&O in Motown and while doing a live hit she lashed out at CBS, claiming discrimination by the company.

After talking about the Father’s Day forecast, Moss says that she will be sitting down with Project Veritas this week to discuss the “ discrimination that CBS is forcing on its employees.”

Here’s the video of another blonde female crashing her TV career into the ground. Move over Ivory Hecker.

I knew April Moss was going to get fired when I saw the headline on Monday on TV Spy & FTVLive.

Apparently it has something to do with discrimination towards the unvaccinated or some happy horse crap.

chuck Davis handled that unprofessionally. That outline was completely uncalled for to a person who is asking for help. It just shows Chuck Davis is the problem over there in creating a toxic work environment.

He never ask once to the employee if she needed any kind of help from her outburst on tv in that audio. April clearly having some type of mental breakdown and a manager does not care for the well being of their employee

Most managers can tell the difference between a political rant and a mental breakdown. What happened was not even close to a mental breakdown; she used the weather segment as her personal soapbox. She deserved to be terminated for it.

Also, where I’ve worked — not in broadcasting, obviously — political talk is strictly forbidden since it creates a hostile work environment.

We didn't hear the whole call, and don't know what conversations they've had prior to that call. Chuck's job is not to be her mommy. I think he did a great job.

If I started off an announcement for a stop on the bus with a political rant first I would probably be fired so point well taken.

I hope she was terminated. Ranting like that on-air is unacceptable; I don't give a shit what side she's on, it's beyond unprofessional, especially for a weathercaster -- who is expected to not even bring politics up at ALL -- to let their political feelings loose on the air.

Also, PROJECT VERITAS? CBS is probably just shitting themselves over that, I'm sure. :roll:

Priceless!

You mean like how WDIV's Devin Scillian was lashing out against Trump during his 5pm newscast last Fall, and how WDIV used his lashing out against Trump as Promotion both on-air and online. And how WXYZ Sportscaster Brad Galli publicly praised Scillian on WDIV's Facebook page for his lashing out against trump. Sportscasters like Galli should be sportscasters and stay out of politics, right?

Not to mention Lester Holt and David Muir on the national "news" casts. Lester Holt, referring to NBC's liberal bias, was even quoted as saying "fairness is overrated."

Or how WJBK Sportscaster Dan Miller and Weatherman Rich Luterman spent an entire segment lashing out on Let It Rip and absolutely trashing Trump a couple years ago? They should all be fired too?

Project Veritas is well respected when it comes to exposing hypocrisy.

April Moss was fired because she went off script and made allegations against her employer when she should have been, ya know, reading the weather. That's it. It is what happens to at-will/performance contract employees when they deviate from the routine, backtalk or it is just their turn. CBS doesn't need a reason to fire her, but clearly she hinted she was on her way to being a giant pain in the ass and they cut her loose.

As much as conservatives loathe the mainstream media, they sure seem to watch a lot of it. Here's a fun fact, did you know Michigan GOP co-chair Meshawn Maddock used to work at WDIV?
