nynewslover 269 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Surprised that no one else has posted this. Two separate News12 anchors/reporters have caused controversy with things that they said on air. One was intentionally said on air as part of a report.. The other was an open mic moment. Sean Bergin (News12 NJ) who later appeared on FOX News to defend himself and has been very vocal on facebook quit after being suspended. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/07/18/why-tv-reporter-shouldnt-have-been-demoted-for-racially-charged-rant-on-cop/ -AND- Anchor Matt Piper and Amy Yensi in an open mic conversation that made it to the air. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/watch-news-12-bronx-anchor-drops-f-bomb-bashes-government-assistance-live-mic-article-1.1952818 Thoughts?

mountainave 530 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 All of Pieper's and Yensi's News 12 social media profiles appear to be taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 News12 hasn't contirmed anything but from the comments on facebook they're both done. The reaction is mixed. Some people find it funny and true others not so much. UPDATE: Matt Pieper is out. http://www.welcome2thebronx.com/wordpress/2014/09/29/news-12-the-bronx-anchor-matt-pieper-fired-after-on-air-snafu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
