From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jon Leiberman is a correspondent and producer of America's Most Wanted. He has been a reporter for WBFF in Baltimore and the newsman at WIYY 98 Rock radio in Baltimore. He has also worked as a reporter in New Mexico and Kansas.
In October 2004, Leiberman made headlines when he was fired by Sinclair Broadcast Group for publicly questioning the company's decision to air Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal, a 40-minute film critical of Presidential candidate John Kerry's role in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War. Leiberman claimed he was fired by Sinclair for criticizing the film in The Baltimore Sun as "biased political propaganda," and later told CNN: "The reason for my firing was that I relayed what they called proprietary information from an in-house meeting and I divulged it to the media, which is against company policy." (1).
In 2006, Leiberman began reporting for America's Most Wanted, the long-running reality tv series hosted by John Walsh that profiles cases of wanted criminals. He reports mostly on cases from New York, such as Ralph "Bucky" Phillips, but he has also reported on the cases of Jose Campean, Ignacio Ramos and Gilmer Hernandez.
Leiberman is married and is a 1997 graduate of Northwestern University.
