Talk about crossing the line, this New Orleans Anchor/Reporter obliterated the line as her barrelled over it and it seems that he station doesn't care. 

WGNO’s Jacob Bradford stood on a street corner, holding up a campaign sign for Justin Boone a Democrat that is running for Orleans Parish Executive Committee District B. 

Not only did the Reporter actively campaign for a politician, he posted about it on his station branded social media:

The thought that anyone working in TV news would think this is okay is completely mind blowing. The fact that the Nexstar station has not suspended him or took other disciplinary action against him is more so. 

When you choose to become a Journalist, you are to do the job impartially and without bias. You can't be standing on the corner holding up campaign signs. Then again, I guess if you work at Nexstar, you can. 

Forget the fact that Bradford's credibility is shot, this guy is giving the industry a black eye with stunts like this. 

Obviously, the bosses at WGNO don't seem to care, but I have to believe that after the suits at Nexstar see this story, they will. 

Stay tuned...

In what way is his social media "station branded?" (It's a dumb move regardless, I'm just not seeing station branding in the screenshot you posted.)

The branding was in the profile, not the post.
