Nice to finally see an official sanction in this shameful example of “ambush journalism” that took place here in Dallas last October. Uncle Barky has the details: (h/t: Crush Liberalism)

Rebecca Aguilar’s 14-year career as a Fox4 reporter has officially ended via a letter from an attorney representing the station.

The interview had been hotly debated in both Dallas and around the country. Some accused Aguilar of “ambushing” a feeble old man; others said she had been aggressive, but not unduly so, in getting a story that rival stations also wanted on their newscasts.

“I just think it’s really sad that I gave this company 14 years and I did about 6,000 interviews,” Aguilar said. “And now I’m out of a job because of one interview? It’s like in one swoop it ruined my reputation. It ruined my name.”

Sorry, Ms. Aguilar, your own bias ruined your reputation. It’s called professional misconduct, and in the real world people are held accountable for their actions. Your severance was handled with the same consideration you showed to Mr. Walton. That’s poetic justice.
