Seattle TV Station Fires Employee After Airing Doctored (and Insulting) Video of Trump

 

The Seattle Times reports a staffer at local Fox affiliate Q13 has been fired after the station aired a doctored (and insulting) video of President Donald Trump’s first primetime speech from the Oval Office on Tuesday.

Local radio host Todd Herman was sent a video from a listener. As the Times reported, "The video was changed to make it look as if Trump was sticking his tongue out languidly between sentences. In addition, the colors in the video look more saturated, leading the president’s skin and hair to appear more orange." Here's a side-by-side video:

“This does not meet our editorial standards and we regret if it is seen as portraying the president in a negative light,” Q13 news director Erica Hill wrote in an emailed statement early Thursday.

Later Thursday morning, Hill released another statement saying, “We’ve completed our investigation into this incident and determined that the actions were the result of an individual editor whose employment has been terminated.”

SEIU puts Fresno court on notice of planned strike

 

The Service Employees International Union Local 521 on Thursday put the Fresno County Superior Court on notice of its plan to strike beginning Tuesday over labor negotiations.

SEIU sent a letter to Sheran Morton, court executive officer, making the court aware of the planned “Unfair Labor Practice strike.”

SEIU couldn’t immediately be reached for comment late Thursday.

Court spokeswoman Suzanne Abi-Rached also couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. But according to a court letter, dated Thursday, the labor negotiations have been ongoing since July 18.

 

Those negotiations pertain to court office assistants, judicial assistants, account clerks, court reporters and child custody recommendation counselors.

“We have limited money to offer to these various classifications but also must continue to function in an effort to serve the public,” the letter states. “We have offered all of the money and benefits within our budgets.”
