Re: Why you need to fire Steve Jones

We respect Entertainment Tonight, and note with satisfaction that you personally seem to be a journalist of integrity.
You seem to understand something about women, and pregnancy. You proudly took note of a recent interview on motherhood, for example, tweeting “ITS BEYONCE’S FIRST ON CAMERA INTERVIEW POST BABY.” (Your all-caps, not ours.)
But a member of your staff, Steve Jones, lied to Megan Fox to induce an interview…
asked her about pregnancy despite his promise not to…
and then essentially bragged about it in a sarcastic boast designed to raise his own profile and the show’s — regardless of its impact on your integrity and that of ET.
All this, in apparent complete indifference to the sensitivities, both personal and medical, a woman faces early in a pregnancy.
We encourage you to demand a meaningful apology from Mr. Jones, and, even if it comes, reprimand and suspend him. Anything less creates the appearance that you approve of what he did.
If he does not issue such an apology, or refuses to abide by a suspension, you should fire him.
Other entertainment personalities will be watching to see if ET maintains standards of probity and promise-keeping. We trust they, and your viewers, will act accordingly.
