A local newspaper in Michigan has fired a reporter who made inappropriate comments about Republican Senate candidate John James, expressing a strong bias against the Michigan political newcomer who’s in a close race with incumbent Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
Huron Daily Tribune reporter Brenda Battel left a voicemail message for James, seeking to set up a post-election interview, and she apparently thought she had hung up the phone. But the call didn’t disconnect, and her disparaging comments were captured in the recording.
