Fired After Trump Tweet, New York Post Reporter Fights Back
Bart Hubbuch lawsuit alleges he was wrongfully dismissed from Rupert Murdoch's tabloid
This will be an interesting case to follow.
Per ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio, Bart Hubbuch, who was recently relieved of his duties covering the NFL for the New York Post, has filed a wrongful-dismissal lawsuit. He alleges that he was let go because of a subsequently deleted Jan. 20 personal-account tweet that connected the inauguration of President Trump to earlier catastrophic events.
From Florio’s report
The lawsuit suggests that the decision to fire Hubbuch was “influenced by [Post owner Rupert] Murdoch’s interest in pleasing Trump and not upsetting him, now that Trump has the power to either directly benefit or harm Murdoch and 21st Century Fox.”
