Shouldn't The Rules Be the Same at Tegna? (Patreon)

A few days ago, FTVLive told you that Tegan's KUSA (Denver) had parted ways with their Meteorologist Marty Coniglio after he posted this tweet:

It appears that Coniglio was making a political statement against President Trump's use of federal forces brought into US cities to arrest and detain protestors. 

FTVLive has long said that if you work in TV news, you should leave your political opinions private and certainly should not be posting them on social media. 

It appears that Tegna thought that Coniglio crossed the line and now he's gone from the station. 

But, if Tegna is going to apply these rules to Coniglio, shouldn't they apply them to all their employees?

Here is Tegna's WUSA morning Anchor Tony Perkins calling Trump "Conspiracy Theorist in Chief" and also calling Trump "Whiney":

At Tegna's WKYC in Cleveland, Anchor/Reporter Mike Polk mocks the President for his rally and his drinking water:

Then he goes after Education Sec. Betsy DeVos:

Or this one in which he implies quite a bit about the Ohio Governor:

You can agree or disagree with these statements, but you have to wonder, why is one Tegna employee gone and the others remain? 

Look, Tegna owns the stations and if they want to allow their people to speak out politically, they can do so. 

But, shouldn't the rules be applied equally across the board? 

If I was Marty Coniglio, I might be asking my attorney the same questions.
