I have restrictions about what I can go to the media about with respect to my employment, if I violate those I would expect to be terminated.

And the city has strict rules about talking to the media. There is a reason companies pay millions for people to talk to the media that represent their company. This guy wasn't fired because of his beliefs he was fired because of what you explained.
