The said toady reporter is getting dragged HARD in social media. It's quite something if you have the patience to wade through this.

He deserved to lose his job with cause for both:
1) Code of conduct violation
2) Stupidity
I also laugh at the ignorance of people who believe narratives about people being "muzzled" by their employers (ex. the Harper government "muzzling" scientists who must of course have inside knowledge on climate change). Any organization within even the slightest sense of HR awareness requires employees to acknowledge a Code of Conduct which usually includes non-tolerated behaviors such as:
-making any official statements about the company financial results, strategy or other policies unless fully vetted by the employer's communications function
-discussing any HR related activities with any party other than the company's HR dept, their union rep or a lawyer
-disclosing any proprietary information
If the Code of Conduct violation weren't bad enough, this person had the incredibly poor judgement to make statements through social media using traceable accounts.
