Bill Crane, who was described as a “long-time WSB-TV and radio chief political analyst and commentator” by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, was terminated on Monday from the news station. WSB-TV said that Crane’s reference to Trump as “Orange Face” violated the station’s commitment to “unbiased” coverage. Crane first joined the station in 2006.
Ray Carter, general manager of WSB, made a statement during the channel’s 6 p.m. ET Action News broadcast, stating that Crane had “uttered remarks not aligned with our commitment for fair and unbiased reporting and analysis.
“As a result, we’re ending our relationship with Mr. Crane, effective immediately,” Carter added. “We value the trust we’ve fostered for decades with our viewers, and we continue working hard to earn and maintain that trust.”
