Reporter fired for calling DeSantis press release 'propaganda' hopes to get a 'book in this'
Fox News
Former Axios reporter Ben Montgomery appeared on Thursday’s episode of the “The ReidOut” to discuss being fired after insulting DeSantis’ press release.
"[T]his is propaganda, not a press release," Montgomery wrote back in an email reply. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to lindsay.kornick@fox.com and on Twitter: @lmkornick.
The Tampa Bay-based reporter was fired from his position at Axios later that day. Though Axios did not disclose the reason behind his firing, it is believed the email may have violated the publication’s Editorial Ethics Policy to "maintain professionalism with all sources" and "respect and be civil to all people we have contact with."
