Anchor Fired Over ‘Sneaking’ Jesus Into News Reports
- Share via
Marilee Joyce has been fired as a television anchorwoman in Sioux Falls, S.D., after writing an article describing how she tried to “sneak” Jesus into the news as often as possible.
An official of KDLT-TV said Joyce was dismissed for an “error in journalistic judgment” that was reflected in the article she wrote for Good News, a magazine published for a Christian cable TV station.
In the article, Joyce said she had repeatedly used her job to prevent the broadcast of stories of “questionable nature. . . . I decided it would not be good to fill our viewers’ minds with such information, so I didn’t permit the stories to air,” she wrote.
