Thom Hartmann: Reporter fired over state's extreme ultrasound law



Texas reporter Scott Braddock joins Thom Hartmann. There is a war on journalism and free speech going on in this country - and Scott Braddock is the latest victim. Braddock - a well-known Texas news radio reporter - was fired last week after he aired excerpts of an interview with a woman who was "forced to undergo several medically unnecessary transvaginal sonograms to obtain an abortion" due to the new Texas sonogram law. While his employer - KROI News 92 FM - says he was fired for filling in for another reporter on a competing radio station - But Braddock claims that's not the case. Scott joins us now from Texas to talk more about the situation - and why he really may have been fired.
