Yesterday I told you how the jackals at Sinclair Broadcasting (they of last year’s attempted hour-long Swift Boat informercial) have now resorted to suing Jon Lieberman, Sinclair’s former DC Bureau Chief whom they fired after he accused them of pushing “biased political propaganda, with clear intentions to sway this election.”
The suit is a part of a year-long campaign of dingbat harassment of Lieberman by Sinclair, including attempts to deny him unemployment benefits and a failed attempt to block him from receiving a journalism award.
Yesterday’s post sparked a flood of emails asking how readers can support Lieberman, whether he has a legal defense fund taking contributions and other related questions.
The simple answer is, I have no idea. I should also note that I’m not in touch with Lieberman. And I neither want to nor am I in a position to raise money on his behalf.
The last I’ve heard on this comes from an article in the Baltimore Sun. Reports the Sun: “The lawsuit says Leiberman, now a producer at America’s Most Wanted, owes Sinclair almost $17,000 in so-called liquidated damages, equal to a percentage of his salary had he served out his contract.” When they contacted Lieberman he hadn’t yet been served with the suit and said he’d only heard about in news reports.
“I just want to get on with my life,” Lieberman told the Sun.
Should we hear of any organized effort to assist Lieberman, we will of course pass on the information.
