A Pittsburgh TV station cut ties with one of its longtime anchorwomen on Wednesday over a controversial Facebook post that many consider racist.
Wendy Bell, who had been with WTAE for 18 years, had speculated about the likely profiles of the gunmen who killed five adults and an unborn baby at a barbeque in Wilkinsburg, Pa., on March 9.
“You needn't be a criminal profiler to draw a mental sketch of the killers who broke so many hearts two weeks ago Wednesday. I will tell you they live within 5 miles of Franklin Avenue and Ardmore Boulevard and have been hiding out since in a home likely much closer to that backyard patio than anyone thinks,” she wrote on Facebook. “They are young black men, likely teens or in their early 20s. They have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs. These boys have been in the system before. They’ve grown up there. They know the police. They’ve been arrested.”
Now add to this story something that was written about Pittsburgh news covering black on black crime and it becomes really interesting:

Of course she's right. She's been reporting news in that town for 18 years, she knows what's going on.

being right isn't what counts

I couldn't imagine having to report so much crime every day and still not be able to tell the truth.
She wrote an opinion piece of Facebook. Channel 4 are pussies and fired her for no reason

Exactly. She was a great reporter, I used to like watching her.

Sounds like they were looking for a reason to fire her honestly, nothing to report afterall

That neighborhood is pretty much all black, the victims were all black... Statistics say that it's more likely than not, she was right.
This will probably lead to more people supporting Trump in the Pittsburgh area. Lots of people around there are fed up with political correctness and years of Democrats pulling their bullshit.

It's her employer's right to fire her. I see no issue here.
