Well you can’t get too much dumber than this. On the other hand she is, or WAS, a “reporter” for a MSM outlet.

Detroit news radio station WWJ-AM (950) has fired radio personality Karen Dinkins after she wore a Barack Obama T-shirt while covering a presidential rally last weekend.

Dinkins, contacted at her home, said she is surprised about the reaction to her firing after Sunday’s rally at the Detroit Public Library. She said a number of news outlets contacted her after the station let her go on Monday. She said she had worked there for 13 years.

“I was really kind of surprised this is a news story,” she said, adding that she wouldn’t comment further. “I didn’t anticipate it.”

Bet she would be surprised to also learn there is a little thing adhered to by the Society of Professional Journalists called a Code of Ethics that includes this tidbit of information: “Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting. Analysis and commentary should be labeled and not misrepresent fact or context.”

A 13 year career up in smoke all because of an obsession with The ObamaMessiah.
