There is a lot of news coverage about the now-fired WINK Fort Myers, Florida, Chief Meteorologist Matt Devitt, including a Change.org petition to bring him back.
The story is getting attention from the Fort Myers News-Press & Naples Daily News, to Newsweek, and all the way to the Daily Mail.
And then former House Speaker Newt Gingrich even got involved...and what he posted really threw gasoline on the already raging fire!
If this report is true the entire WINK senior management should be fired and matt devitt reinstated with back pay ; pic.twitter.com/BMAemZG920
