Oklahoma TV meteorologist fired after she shows noose on-air

An Oklahoma TV meteorologist is looking for work today after being fired for showing a doodle on TV that included a noose.

Vewiers of KSWO-TV contacted the station to complain Monday about a brain teaser aired by the forecaster.

“On Monday morning, one of our employees at KSWO-TV displayed an image that was offensive and unacceptable,” the Lawton station’s management team said in a statement posted to Facebook. “At KSWO, we do not tolerate behavior of any kind that depicts hatred, social injustice, racism or anti-Semitism.”

The post has received of thousands of angry comments calling on the station to reinstate meteorologist Mandy Bailey, who is accused of playing a word game on air that showed the word “THERE” with a noose hanging between the “T” and the “H.”

The answer was “hang in there,” but some viewers reportedly complained the noose was racially insensitive or making light of suicide.
