Fox Station Photographer Reportedly Fired After Facebook Post on Michael Brown’s Mom
A St. Louis journalist has reportedly been fired after making offensive Facebook comments about the mother of Michael Brown, the teenager whose shooting death ignited weeks of emotional protests in Missouri and led, eventually, to the birth of the nationwide Black Lives Matter movement.
Bobby Hughes was an overnight photographer and journalist at KTVI, the Fox affiliate in St. Louis, according to reports.
He posted on Facebook after Michael Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, was announced as part of the Democratic National Convention line-up.
