A weatherman in California claims he was fired from an ABC affiliate after he objected to the station airing a story on successful local strip clubs. But he’s not just any weatherman — he‘s the station’s chief meteorologist.
According to a Facebook post, KERO-TV’s Jack Church says he was fired from the Bakersfield, CA news station after he voiced his concerns about the story that featured how local strip joints were doing well despite the down economy:
TV Spy posted a link to what is presumably the racy story, which aired at the end of last week. We actually found the story and have included it below (ironically introduced by two female newscasters):
TV Spy tried to reach out to the station for comment, but received no response as of publication.
Perhaps ironically (or intentionally), church’s current favorite quote listed on his Facebook page says, “When you lose a job it simply opens up endless opportunities.”

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 3:38pmI consider myself fairly conservative on such matters. But I don’t see what the problem was with this news piece. It was much more fit for television than an episode of Baywatch.
It merely reported that this is one industry that seems to be unaffected by the recession and had an interview with a psychlogist as to why that would be so–and it wasn’t just the sex/fantasy/flesh angle.
I found it interesting.
I think the weatherman should learn to pick his fights better. This was not worth losing his job over.

What is so immoral about a woman willing to work, rather than depend on the government? It’s easy to pick on strippers. I’m a Christian myself and conservative on most issues but find it absurd that we demonize these women. I have respect for any woman who refuses government aid and gets off her but to make money!

There are still some people after all who still know the meaning of that word. Church has just made sure that he will have no way to affect the station in the future. A true hero would have quit, rather than just not showing up. That would have made a statement. Violating his contract showed that he is not a man of his word. Some witness that was.

Seriously? That’s your alternative. She either strips or lives on welfare? How about hooking, then. If I am faced with only those choices I would rather she sponge off the taxpayer than contribute to the her own moral corruption and the corruption of society. I think most Americans would feel the same, so your argument is rather serving to encourage welfare than discouraging it if you are saying that stripping is the only alternative to welfare for her.
Your type of Christianity I recognize. It is shallow in its understanding of morality and virtue.

It’s no delusion. They have not been fully normalized. There still is a stigma in many quarters, and that stigma can be increased or decreased. Remember what Guliani did for Times Square? He drove all those business out and now it is a nice place to be again. But that can change back.

Only if he thought the story was so bad he couldn’t be associated with the station any more. If he merely didn’t want to be associated with the message of the story then not to be on TV when it aired might have been enough disassociation. Are you fit to judge what is required by his conscience?
And it is not a bad witness to break a contract over a moral objection to something that was never in the contract. He asked for the day off and they refused, so it’s not like he sandbagged them.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 3:52pmYou have been boiling in the water too long. To do a news story about a vice without treating it as a vice undermines the social stigma of them. It helps to normalize them. It doesn‘t matter if the actual story wasn’t lewd if it implicitly approves of lewdness. A sober man who winks at drunkeness encourages it far more than a drunk does.

Report Post »Did you watch the clip? They refered to stripping as a vice several times and later the Psycologist even said that these vices that people look to for comfort usually make things worse. The point of the story was not that strip clubs are OK, but that they are not affected by the poor economy. This is as good as you are going to get from today’s media. They neither explicitly condemned or approved of strip clubs. Neutrality is a big step for TV news today.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 4:57pmI did watch the clip. I didn’t notice the last but at the end, which I admit does help put a more disapproving spin on it. So I pull back my objection a bit. But I still wouln’t air it if I were station manager. It still seems to communicate the idea that these things are normal, which may be increasingly common but I would want to discourage it.

I‘m not saying that’s the case with any particular Christian, nor even all Christians, it just seems to me that the kind to take stands in public many seem to do so where it regards chicks in little clothing and little else (outside of abortion protests, which are noble since that actually does touch on something relevant).

Because most Christians have been misled by their church leaders over what the Bible says about sex.
If you want to read what it actually says, you can buy a concordance, or go through various similar sites online, for example this site has compiled most passages from the Bible relating to adultery and similar topics:

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 2:56pmHe is employed at will. He was under no obligation to remain employed if he objected that much to the story. I respect that he took a stand, but sometimes taking a stand means you have a price to pay. This is a private company that can air what it wishes (within the confines of FCC regulations). He can object, but most of us who go to the boss and strenuously object to a given policy too hard, will also find ourselves canned and thrown out post haste. That’s what happens.
Additionally it’s not the objecting that caused the problem, it was instead his taking the day off in spite after being denied his request for time off.
Like I said, I admire any man who takes a stand for what he believes is right and just. Just know that there are consequences attached to such actions.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 3:15pmI agree with Jefferson. There can be consequences for taking a stand. The question I have though is: Why was he refused the day off? There’s not enough info in the story on it. Was it because the request wasn’t submitted with enough lead time? Did they already have another weatherman off that day? What is the policy that gave them cause to deny requested time off? Surely as Chief Meterologist, he had enough accrued to allow for it.

I haven‘t watched the video in question that he’s objecting to, so I cannot say one way or the other why he objected. I agree with you that if it was simply “Hey, strip club revenue is up” he’d be an idiot. But if it’s endless clips of near naked girls well then, first I’d have to watch it several times in order to determine if it was objectionable :) then, well, I suppose some kind of case could be made for his own objection.
That being said, he’s the chief meteorologist, it’s not like he was being asked to air the clip during the weather with him leading in for it.
This does seem like a futile gesture the more I look at it, in this economy it seems a bit odd to put one‘s family’s welfare in jeopardy over something which you’re not directly participating. Given the drivel I’m certain his station probably ran in the past, it strikes the question of “why now?” in my mind.

“Talking about the economics of strip clubs is a morally neutral thing for his employers to do.”
But talking about strip clubs as if they were a morally neutral thing is NOT morally neutral. Imagine if the station did such a story about more people joining the KKK or Skin heads without making clear how wrong that was. It’s as if merely being legal means that it is OK or as good as anything else. When you’re talking about the News, which often serves as our culture’s storyteller, how a story is framed is an indication of how we are meant to think about it.
But I agree that the cost of taking stands is paying the price.

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 5:21am@Isles: So you’d say the weatherman should have quit his job if his station, say, ran a story about how the ACLU was defending the KKK’s rights to march. (Requiring them to *editorialize* and say what everyone already knows, that the KKK is evil in order for him to… not quit?)
What Glen Beck does is not news, it is commentary. This might be confusing you, but actual news shows attempt to get editorialization OUT of their stories as much as possible. Which is a good thing – we don’t need news anchors telling us what to believe.
As far as strip clubs being as evil as the KKK, I’d have to disagree with you on that. I’m rather leery of the effect strip clubs have on gullible young men. It’s like with casinos preying on the elderly. Or alcohol. “Everything is legal, but not everything is beneficial.” I think in moderation and very small doses, casinos and strip clubs, while not good things, are acceptable for Christians. Dropping a nickle into a slot machine isn’t a sin, and neither is looking at pretty girls.
I’m sure that with your ascetic viewpoint, you’ll disagree with me. But to me, it seems like the weatherman is risking his family’s health over a moral stand on something pointless.
But I’m sure that since this story has broken nationwide, he‘ll be able to get a job in someplace that’s *not Bakersfield*, so that’s a plus.

You are extremely mistaken if you think gambling and strip clubs are ok in moderation for CHRISTians. Noah’s son saw him naked and it was a sin. If you can‘t even see your own family nude by accident then you certainly can’t pay to look at people unrelated to you. Not to mention God commands us to be good stewards of what he gives us and that includes money. If you are letting the lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh sin together you are in big trouble. God says that those that are his he chastises. Sounds like you are trying to defend your sins and make them ok/justify and rationalize. If you are a CHRISTian you are giving CHRIST a bad name.
