FOX anchor Matt Vereen is arrested on child porn charges

[edbermac]

A sexual predator working for FOX? Color me surprised.

Matt Vereen, 28, a weekend anchor and sports reporter for the network's affiliate WACH FOX 57 in South Carolina, was taken into custody Wednesday and charged with three counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, the state's Attorney General announced.

Disturbing arrest warrants obtained by WIS-TV detail how investigators with the Columbia Police Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the state's Internet Crimes against Children Task Force found child pornography on his laptop.

One arrest warrant shows that officers found a digital photo on his MacBook of a girl, between the ages of 11 to 13, in a sexually suggestive pose.

1. I wonder if the local Fox news people report from a conservative point of view like the national ones do

[jimfields33]

2. Definitely not Fox News. But fox network.

I never understood why they have two separate companies with the basic same name. Poor Simpsons have to be unfairly grouped with Fox News. It’s a huge lie that many believe.

4. Someone once pointed out to me that Rupert uses one to bamboozle Americans

And the other to ridicule them.

Fairly spot on, I thought.

5. Perfect.

I will plagiarize the hell out of that.

3. Fox needs to work on its diversity

Like, let's try hiring some token non-perverts, guys

10. Just look at her now too.

Token Tart thinks she owns Libs too.

14. She was

on KC local FOX station. Didn’t care for her then or now.

7. The going away message his last staion left when he exited

SPRINGFIELD, Mo–It’s sad for me to report that Saturday will be Matt Vereen’s last day here at KOLR 10.

He’s been outstanding member of the sports family here for more than three years.

It’s been wonderful to watch him grow in his skills and I’ve learned a lot from him as well.

We’re going to miss him but we’re thrilled that he’s advancing his career and moving home.

Here’s a look back at some of Matt’s work.

9. "We wrote him glowing recommendations to get him the effin hell away from us"

11. WACH-TV is not owned by FOX

The station is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group and is only a FOX Network affiliate.

[orthoclad]

12. It's a Sinclair station

The billionaire Sinclair is buying up media all over the country: tv, newspapers, maybe more. Sinclair is a right-wing oligarch trying to control the information flow.

from the wiki:

WACH (channel 57) is a television station in Columbia, South Carolina, United States, affiliated with the Fox network. Owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the station maintains studios on Pickens Street in downtown Columbia...

It used to be Xristian programming, then it went Fox. It went Sinclair in 2013.

Are we surprised it hosted a sex criminal?
