Local News Anchors Quit on Air

Cindy Michaels and Tony Consiglio, two anchors for ABC 7 in Bangor, Maine, resigned from their positions on air at the end of last night's 6 o'clock news. One of the reasons for their departure was political bias by the station's management. Michaels told the Bangor Daily News “It’s a culmination of ongoing occurrences that took place the last several years and basically involved upper management practices that we both strongly disagreed with,” she also stated. “It’s a little complicated, but we were expected to do somewhat unbalanced news, politically, in general.”
