apparently is is now illegal for editors and journalists to have an opinion about what they cover. nice move cnn... :roll: :evil:"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Very surprised….. glad to see CNN does not support employees that have sympathy for murders“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln0

It is one thing to have opinions on what you cover, it is quite another to tell the world about them. I think CNN has a point when they say that she compromised her reputation as an objective observer, which is pretty much the most important thing for someone at CNN.you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane0

you goof balls...freedom of speech ? she was paid to report news with a unbiased opinion and then tweeted how much she admired a man that has allegedly killed people with extreme prejudice, she is representing a large company not just her self, what happened to MC crystal when he expressed his personal feeling to a reporter and where was freedom of speech then ? you can't have it both ways guys.

bullshit. how many "journalists" and network correspondents moonlight on talk shows on cable and network news shows like real time with bill maher? how many are contributers to fox news and msnbc programs? you can report objectively and spout your opinions as well. there is a balance. how many of them have blogs they contribute to?yosi wrote:It is one thing to have opinions on what you cover, it is quite another to tell the world about them.

Nothing to do with 'Freedom Of Speech'... everything to do with Ratings for sponsor dollars.
I mean, look at the couple who have chimed in about the editor... they are exactly the cross-section of television users they are targeting. The ones who would go elsewhere if someone expressed an opinion counter their own.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

This from someone who apparently gets all his/her news exclusively from non-traditional sources because the "MSM" can't be trusted. Talk about looking elsewhere when you don't hear what you want to hear.you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane0

ya gotta twist the story, don't ya
she was commenting on the fact he had done some good things for women
and she did report the news with an unbiased opinion,
she tweeted her feelings based on what he had done for women in that part of the world
and i said before, mcchrystal should have been replaced years ago when the entire armed forces and u.s. government covered up the tillman storyThe whole world will be different soon... - EV

yep..haven't we all?“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln0 -
her firing is a reflection that corporate and political interests trumps all ... it's sad tho that those who support her firing already are assuming accusations of this person are true and without context ... george w. bush is responsible for the deaths of many more innocent lives than this person but i'm sure no one would get fired anywhere if they tweeted something nice about him ...
keep on feeding into the hate and you no longer will have your freedom ...0 -
Forgive me, but how is this a freedom of speech issue in the first place. CNN is a private company. They can fire an employee for whatever reason they want (within the limits of the law). This woman is perfectly free to keep saying whatever she wants on her twitter account. So really, her right to free speech doesn't come into this at all. She's losing a job that gave her a platform for speech (which is not the same as speech itself), but it wasn't her platform to begin with. It was CNN's.you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane0

Actually, No. Because people who get the bulk of their political analysis from FOX News, such as yourself, would never watch her, would you?
She has pretty much black balled herself from any station in the U.S. that relies on sponsored dollars. Perhaps, cable access... if it still even exists.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
