Gasparino of Fox Business kicked out of Sun Valley

Fox Business Network reporter Charles Gasparino was kicked out of the Sun Valley conference after confrontations with security, reports Keith Kelly of the New York Post.

Kelly writes, “The tension began Wednesday night when Gasparino and two of his producers crashed a party that was off-limits to the press.

“Words were exchanged and they were ordered to leave by MSA Security’s Brian Coughlin, whose day job is with the NYPD bomb squad.

“Gasparino, who had flown in only hours earlier, said he had no idea the event was closed to reporters.

“Then, on Thursday, Gasparino got into a shouting match with the same security guard and was ordered off the grounds of the mountain resort — ‘You’re out of here,’ Coughlin said.

“Gasparino was forced to do a stand-up Thursday afternoon from a roadside outside the resort as cars and trucks whizzed past.

“He tweeted and later deleted this: ‘Irony of #fbnsunvalley: media conf closed to the media guarded by bullying and fat ex cops like the guy I told to stop bullying my producer.'”
