Fox News Producer Canned for Cheering on McCain

TVNewser is reporting this morning that a Fox News production assistant was fired for cheering on John McCain when she got close enough to the Arizona senator during the Time 100 Gala.:

Insiders tell us the assistant, identified as Jennifer Locke, was on assignment with a camera crew to cover the entertainment angle of the event. When Sen. John McCain walked by, the assistant said, "I voted for you in the primary, you're going to win."

[...]

A Fox News insider called it "journalistically unacceptable." An FNC spokesperson would not comment on the personnel matter but did confirm Locke is no longer with the company, where she'd worked for a couple of years.

Of course that is journalistically unacceptable, as much if not more so than the Obamania that ostensibly objective journalists at other networks have expressed.

TVNewser also noted that Sen. McCain chided Ms. Locke that she's "not supposed to reveal that" she's a fan of McCain's. Perhaps Sen. Obama can borrow from the Arizona Republican the next time liberal reporters are laying palm branches at his feet.
