Maine TV News Anchors Cindy Michaels and Tony Consiglio Quit On Air
http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/11/21/maine-tv-news-anchors-c
With all the controversy over media bias, it seems two journalists have
finally taken a stand -- on air. The longest running news team in Bangor,
Maine, resigned at the end of their Tuesday evening broadcast, to the shock
of staff and viewers, later telling the Bangor Daily News that management
prevented them from running a balanced newsroom.
Cindy Michaels and Tony Consiglio have been anchors at ABC affiliate WVII
and Fox affiliate WFVX in Bangor for six years, but claimed that the owners
and managers had been increasingly intervening in their newscasts over the
last four, reports the Bangor newspaper.
"It's a culmination of ongoing occurrences that took place the last several
years and basically involved upper management practices that we both
strongly disagreed with," said Michaels. "It's a little complicated, but we
were expected to do somewhat unbalanced news, politically, in general."

Michaels was also the news director at both WVII and WFVX, overseeing five
daily newscasts, and gained some national notice in 2008 due to her striking
resemblance to then-vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Consiglio was
the executive producer for the stations, and previously a sports anchor.
Mike Palmer, WVII/WFVX vice president and general manager, denied their
charges. "Upper management is not involved in the daily production of the
news. Period," he said.
Palmer sparked sparked a political tiff in 2006, when he was the stations'
general manager, for telling his staff that they would no longer report
stories on global warming. When "Bar Harbor is underwater, then we can do
global warming stories," he wrote in an email obtained by The New York Times
. "Until then, no more."
He explained that he placed global warming stores in the same category as "
the killer African bee scare" from the 1970s and "the Y2K scare when
everyone's computer is going to self-destruct."
Michaels and Consiglio hadn't told anyone about their plans, so that they
would be able to do a final broadcast. "We figured if we had tendered our
resignations off the air, we would not have been allowed to say goodbye to
the community on the air and that was really important for us to do that,"
Michaels explained to the Daily News.
Neither of them said they were sure if they would be working in broadcasting
again anytime soon. "I'm going to pursue a freelance career and concentrate
on a novel I'm writing and some painting," Michaels said on-air.
"This is one of the toughest decisions I've ever made. This is my career and
I love doing it," Consiglio told the Bangor Daily News. "I'm looking at
some options, but whether they're in this industry or not is something I'll
find out." | m*******l
