Mississippi News Anchor Fired Over Anti-Harris Voting Remarks

Dave Elliott claims his dismissal from WLOX-TV was due to a social media post discouraging votes for Kamala Harris.

Elliott, a veteran anchor at WLOX-TV since 1985, posted a video urging Harris supporters to abstain from voting.
He described his social media activity as political satire, not journalism, and said it was intended to be humorous.
The video, which went viral, criticized strong anti-Trump sentiments and suggested they were a 'sickness.'
Elliott announced his firing on social media, attributing it to the station's disapproval of his political views.
WLOX-TV has not publicly commented on the termination, and Elliott was already planning to leave the station.
