Let’s see what happens to the ratings in her time slot.
Our Quad Cities In February of 2018, Tahera moved from making the decisions behind the scenes to telling the stories on the scene, achieving her childhood dream and, in the process, becoming the first woman in hijab to work as an on-air reporter for American television.
Tahera joined the Local 4 News team as a producer in May of 2016. Her duties included deciding which stories get put on air, writing scripts and keeping tabs on timing and other decisions during live newscasts.
It all started years ago after several internships, that’s when Tahera figured out TV news was her real passion. “I didn’t have anyone who looked like me on TV, so I never really thought it was a possibility,” said Tahera.
After years of rejection from news stations across the nation, Tahera decided to put TV reporting on hold and took a job as a news producer behind the scenes at our Local 4 news station in the Quad Cities.
Tahera’s friend and co-worker Rachel Taylor told us, while Tahera was working behind the scenes, she never gave up on her dream. On Wednesday, Tahera made her on-air debut, breaking barriers in the TV news industry.
Chicago radio news anchor Mariam Sobh has been trying to make the transition from radio to TV news for more than 13 years. “I’ve tried for years to meet with news directors in the city and it always comes down to the headscarf,” Sobh said.
With the help of Mariam and The Muslim American Women In Media group, we believe Tahera is now the first full-time reporter who is a Muslim woman to wear a hijab on mainstream TV news in the United States.
Come on now leave the baghead alone. Everybody knows all muslima bagheads are really just feminine gay dudes trying to not get tossed off a building and/or stoned. Dang people have some heart !!!
I think you’re right. That story about her doubting that she could achieve her dream of being an anchor because of her appearance is just that – a story. She knew that her hijab gave her power and an appeal to the people who matter and that they couldn’t wait to put her in front of the camera.
Hopefully this station will go out of business sooner rather than later.
Don’t worry, most of their offspring will be inbred and the ones who aren’t would know God wouldn’t appoint a child molester to rep him.
These newscaster positions are high stress, dog-eat-dog jobs. Hopefully the ratings tank & she won’t last long. I sure wouldn’t want to look at her & be reminded what she represents. Patriotic Americans- write in & protest.
Az, I can imagine the look on her face if she had to say something nice about Israel.
That would be pretty funny!
Another position of power and visibility taken over by a ragger. I wonder what the people of Rockport will say when moslems are raping their daughters, as if they’re already not.
Just gotta learn the hard way.
Can’t wait for some moslem guy to beat her up or murder her during an interview.
As we all already know, they will regret it.
she probably got the job BECAUSE she’s a baghead…..ever since the late ’70’s many Americans lose out to the flavor of the year…first it was affirm action for blacks, then for spanish, then asian, then then then and now it is muz, which is DANGEROUS….at “least” before it was just token unqualified taking jobs from qualified..now it’s SUICIDAL to hire muz……I remember that in one store in NYC a few years ago, out of nowhere, there were bagheads at register..if my turn fell with one of them, i would wait for the next register…a year later all the bagheads were gone from that store.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT NEVER SURRENDER.
Hey Assholes, if you want to pick on someone try me–571-259-4624
Are you a Muslim? Otherwise, we are not interested in picking on you.
Lol. And true.
Sickening.Absolutely appalling. The intent is to push more and more in our face and it starts to become normal eventually. It is small steps one after another. In time the country will become Islamic.
The reptile ideology hijab has no place on any America TV newscast for their Salafist taqqiya promotes terrorism.
never happen saudia arabia.
Hey broad, go to one of your shithole countries and ply your trade. The fools (and they ARE fools!) in this country are giving these subhumans way too many opportunities because in order for her to be selected for such a position, someone else, (a patriotic American?) has to be discriminated against. Same way in the law enforcement arena, etc. Then the fool employers cave to the demands of these subhumans. And when it comes time to terminate them, they open themselves up to (unnecessary and what could have been avoidable) lawsuits in their pursuit of using our own laws against us. Wake the hell up America and stop the onslaught while you still can.
MUSLIM PRIVILEGE!
America is a Christian country.
The HOLY ONE, our PRECIOUS CREATOR is the complete opposite of Warlord Mohammad’s CRUEL god.
The Ten Commandments — God’s Holy, Eternal Laws and the Biblical Golden Rule upon which our Western civilisation is based, are the total opposite of Islam and barbaric Sharia.
Our values and culture are the total opposite of Muslim and Islam, yet American TRAITORS constantly do everything in their power to ISLAMISE our Christian country and constantly seek to DESTROY Western civilisation.
I live 50 miles north of this area but it’s the television market I’m in. I already wrote my letter to them stating I will no longer be watching their television station as long as they continue to have her on air.
I believe they are the lowest rated station in the area already out of the 3 major networks and are tossing this out there to gain liberal progressive shithead viewers.
Sadly, knowing the Quad Cities I doubt many others will write.
First off the lying bitch is a total misrepresentation of izslime, she is displaying way too much western freedom, which is pure hudna. And second thing is, the idiots promoting the bitch are idiots, and they are absolute traitors to the constitution of America, because the bitch and her “family” are dedicated to destroying the constitution. Someone there be sure to get names and photos of the operators of this traitorous orginization.
Hey Don, I sure like the way you think. What you say is truth and I agree with you 100%. Take care sir.
Right in my own back yard. Since I never watch channel 4, I had no idea. Well, time to find a new place to live. Not many places left to go to get away from them.
Jason we can’t run we must take a stand, find sane people who hate muzslime and arm yourselves the opportunity is coming.
Write a letter or e-mail anyway. I already wrote mine. Did it on Friday. There’s probably not enough people in our area to get this filthy bitch off the air but we have to try because silence isn’t silent it screams a loud message to those who listen just as doing nothing is an act seen by those who watch.
BTW nice to meet a fellow BNI’er in the area, Jackson county here.
Scott county here.
This is beautiful, we need a lot of this “area knowledge” stuff. Hope to discover many fellow travelers soon in my area of Oregon.
Don, I am in Oregon also. Southwest of Portland.
We should try to get a group together to protest this.
Any ideas?
I’m not sure how we could get together or communicate off line but I’m open to suggestions.
We can’t remain silent any longer.
What the average Islamist brings to the West:
> No skills
> No education
> Usually on welfare
> Unwilling to assimilate
> Propensity for violence
> Acid in women’s faces
> Honor killings
> Female sexual mutilation
> Believe in a death cult masquerading as a religion
> Hate all other religions, especially Judaism
> Their high birth rates guarantee the eventual control of host nations
With all of the above, what could possibly go wrong?
Boya, you forgot to mention hatred of dogs and killing them in the worst possible ways.
“There is a growing demand on hearing the Muslim voice in media and we need to keep pace with that demand.” Death to America … muslim voice. Death to Jews … muslim voice. Death to Christians ….muslim voice. What more do we need to hear?
Just take the rag off your head and be a good American and enjoy your job.
No Skep! Deportation is the solution!!
