Social Media Responds to Larry Conners Dismissal

Clayton resident Larry Conners was dismissed from KMOV-Channel 4 Wednesday after being pulled off the air last week. 

The situation arose May 13 with a post from Conners on his Facebook page. In the posting, Conners said he faced pressure from the IRS after an interview with President Barack Obama. This after allegations surfaced that the IRS targeted conservative groups. 

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported last week that while Conners' Facebook post made it seem that he was targeted after the 2012 interview, the Clayton resident's issues with the IRS began long before that. 

Records show that a federal tax lien has been placed on Conners’ property in Clayton, according to the Post story. That lien claims that Conners and his wife, Janet L. Conners, owe more than $85,000 in “small business/self employed” taxes.

Conners took to the radio Wednesday and Thursday, appearing on KMOX and Y98 early this morning.
