Fox 29's Tom Burlington Suspended for Using "N"-Word

Fox 29 anchor and reporter Tom Burlington has been suspended from his duties at the station according to Philadelphia Daily News columnist Dan Gross. The incident appears to have happened during a story meeting about NAACP Philadelphia Youth Council holding a mock funeral last Saturday for the N-word at Dobbins High School, which "offended staffers of all races." The suspension began last Friday, although no reason for the suspension was given. We should also note that his station-sponsored blog is completely empty. Having the talent blog is mandated by the Fox Television Station Group, so we are guessing the station may have shut it down during the suspension.
