Man commits suicide after being fired from FOX news station in Austin

nextgen.fm · January 27, 2015, 02:20:38 AM

This seemed to break late in the day yesterday but I think it's going to be a big story.

Guy apparently had ADD and OCD in a news station environment. That can be tough. And the firing all seemed to center around a Facebook post he made on behalf of the station of a police chief.

Are you sure it's suicide? They might have found out he was thinking of voting Democrat. Or he didn't believe everything that Fox news broadcast.

I really think it is a shame. It is something his family has to deal with and just plain sad. If he was so hard to work with they could have put him in a room by himself and been a fact checker. FOX could've used a fact checker and someone with OCD would be perfect for that. Just found this might want to take a look!!1

He DIDN'T kill himself.

The gun killed him. Did you know he was the author of several children's books? He also rescued 18 dogs in his 73 years of life. Before his death he donated just shy of $6.000.000 to the wildlife busta move institute.

His nickname was Ron but his friends called him Todd after a cousin he had a crush on in his school years.

I don't know where you get your information but I suggest getting it right the first time in such matters.

Oh! he also liked broccoli

I liked Broccoli too. The James Bond franchise was much better when he was in charge.

Was his name Alan Colmes?

How dare he die.

My problem with FOX News is the same problem I have with CNN. Watching either one of them for more than 15 minutes puts me into a coma.

I think Laura Broccoli and her half-brother are doing a decent job keeping the Bond franchise alive and well. Lest we forget that Chubby was responsible for some mediocre Roger Moore movies in the franchise.

Sometimes I think Olbermann is headed down this road.

*Olbermann,IMO, is incredibly gifted and amazing at nostalgia/eulogizing. He's just a thin skinned putz who has never entertained an opposing view in his life and has this entropy gene which seems to doom his every venture.
