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."
