Sindland Was Concerned Fox61 "Received Payment for News Stories"

by: tparty

Thu Jul 16, 2009 at 11:53:32 AM EDT

From The Laurel (via mattw) comes an overlooked but pretty shocking allegation contained in Fox 61 political reporter Shelly Sindland's discrimination complaint against Fox 61/Tribune Co. (pdf here via the CT Employment Law Blog) - that she repeatedly suspected her employer of "committing ethical violations related to receiving payment for news stories".

In the complaint, Sindland outlines four separate instances during the period from September 2008 to May 2009 where she claims to have attempted to voice her concerns to superiors about these undescribed "ethical violations":

Clearly this calls for the mother of all blogger ethics panels.

(More backstory on the Sindland complaint at CT News Junkie, CT Employment Law Blog, and The Laurel.)

Shelly Sindland of Fox61 and fiend

She's about as impressed as the rest of us. From her blog:

Democrat Jim Amann is the latest former state lawmaker  to land a cushy, 6-figure job at  the expense of the taxpayer!' And get this, it is also a newly created position according to a spokesperson for House Democrats.
...
I am guessing two things-one,  House Democrats don't  read my blog and two,  when it comes to helping out a buddy,  it's a bi-partisian effort.

Just two days ago, I reported how former State Senator David Cappiello landed a 6 figure job working as a senior advisor  for Senate Republicans.  His job is  also a newly created position. It's actually the result of splitting one job into two.    Check out my recent post.

When Democrats and Republicans talk about how sacrifices need to be made  in light of the massive, projected budget deficit, this is just another example of how some would say-those standards don't apply to them.  Afterall,  it's only taxpayer money.

HEY, WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR - NOW AMANN LANDS A CUSHY JOB!!

No word yet if her interview will begin with "Hey Chris, WTF??"
