The Sinclair Broadcast Group has fired its Washington bureau chief after he publicly criticized the company’s decision to air a documentary critical of John Kerry just days before the November 2 election. The decision came after the journalist, Jon Lieberman, told the Baltimore Sun that the film was “biased political propaganda, with clear intentions to sway this election. For me, it’s not about right or left — it’s about what’s right or wrong in news coverage this close to an election.” Following his firing Lieberman said “They’re using the news to drive their political agenda. I don’t think it served the public trust.” Lieberman’s dismissal came on the same day the company’s stock value plunged nearly 8 percent.
