MAGA is demanding that a Fox 40 producer in Sacramento be fired for slamming her own network's coverage of ICE migrant arrests.
Jodi Bacon, a morning segment and planning producer with Fox 40-KTXL, posted Friday, "SOOOO grimy...of COURSE Border Patrol had a FOX reporter ride along with them. To be targeted for NO reason is awful. This country deserves better."
Bacon's post referred to a segment by Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin, who wrote in part, "We just rode along w/ Border Patrol as they conducted immigration enforcement in Sacramento, the capitol of the sanctuary state of California. Upon arrival at a Home Depot, suspected illegal aliens took off running in all directions. 10+ arrested."
Melugin called out Bacon for her critique, writing, "You’re a producer for @FOX40? You are in charge of coverage of this event for your Sacramento TV station and you thought it would be appropriate to post this?"
Conservative media personality Erick Erickson retweeted Melugin's post before other right-wing users piled on.
"Do you know journalists shouldn’t be giving their opinion publicly? This is bad," wrote content creator @DaveBondyTV.
@DogRightGirl, an "America First" commentator, wrote, "You should probably start hunting for a job after this post," while MAGA influencer @Melissa1opinion posted, "I know someone that’s going to lose her job when her boss sees this! bye bye."
Other right-wing posters tagged Fox News directly to demand Bacon's ouster, with @ColonelMark4 writing, "You just ended your already disastrous career! @FOX40@FoxNews Terminate her immediately."
