Another "Impartial Journalist" Gets His Due.

[onmyknees]

Add one to the unemployment ranks.


Add another to this list of lib low lifes who had to be disiplined for outrageous, slanderous behavior or statements....Roland Martin, Sgt. Shultz, Fareed Zakaria. Grahame Morris, Chris Matthews, Barbara Walters, Charles Blow, Dan Pfeiffer, Alexandra Petri, Joe Nocera, Dan Savage.....Starting to see a pattern here? Didn't they get the lecture on civility?

Yahoo News has fired Washington bureau chief David Chalian after he was caught on a hot-mic during an online video broadcast today saying that Mitt Romney and his wife Ann had no problem with African Americans suffering as a result of Hurricane Isaac.
“They’re not concerned at all. They’re happy to have a party with black people drowning,” Challian said during the ABC News/Yahoo News webcast, in reference to the fact that the GOP convention in Tampa is taking place as Hurricane Isaac makes landfall on the north Gulf coast.
UPDATE (1:30 p.m.): Yahoo News confirms:
“David Chalian’s statement was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo!. He has been terminated effective immediately. We have already reached out to the Romney campaign, and we apologize to Mitt Romney, his staff, their supporters and anyone who was offended.”
SHOCKING UPDATE...PBS Anchor Gwen Ifill Defends the comments calls him "God's Gift to Journalism"

The re-election of President Barack H Obama is a LOCK. el-oh-cee-kay LOCK.
Onmyknees is a PUNK. pee-you-en-kay PUNK.
Anytime he wants to put his money where his mouth is I'll bet him a thousand dollar donation to any TS on this site that the right man wins.
Romney wins, I pay a grand to the girl of his choice.
Obama wins, he pays a grand to my favorite.
Will he respond like a MAN?

...PBS Anchor Gwen Ifill Defends the comments calls him "God's Gift to Journalism"[/INDENT]

...what a stupid thing for a journalist to say...to defend an incredibly stupid statement.

[trish]

OMK, when you quote someone you should get the quote right. Who do you think you are, Fox News?

It's absolutely hilarious to see the reichwing gutter dwellers slinging garbage at Gwen Ifill (notorious liberal and PBS hack etc.) PBS is one of the sanest and least biased news networks in the entire world. Anyone who has ever seen Ifill's work knows her to be professional, informed, fair and talented at connecting with the people she interviews regardless of their political stripes. She is the universe's most even handed "gift to political journalism."

[fred41]

Found the quote:

"One mistake does not change this @David Chalian is God's gift to political journalism.#I stand with David."

So she really isn't defending his quote..she's defending him. That is different Trish. I assume they're friends.

His statement stands as idiotic though.

Don't like either Obama or Romney. I mean, if Ron Paul had won the nomination, well, then we would've seen an actual debate. A debate regarding our foreign policy. There will be NO DEBATE with respect to foreign policy. Because there is very little difference between the Dems and Republicans.
Anyway, both so-called Parties are funded by the same people.
Anyway, love the Republican Party official platform: BAN abortion, BAN same-sex marriage, and BAN pornography....
And with Obama it's: bail the bankers out -- ha ha ha!

[buttslinger]

Well Ben, you can write in Ron Paul if you want, but if my choice is between Obama and Romney..........
I don't know about you, but I got down on my knees and ate shit for years not because I was into that- I did it for the goddam money. I understood Obama before I ever knew who he was.
....now if you want to bet a grand on Ron Paul, let's talk turkey!!

[fred41]

....now if you want to bet a grand on Ron Paul, let's talk turkey!!

...I think you would have to give him a helluva lot of points to take that bet.

...a helluva lot.

You people have a straight choice between the GOP who will produce catastrophe and Obama who is trying to get America back on its feet - without the social repression implicit in the GOP platform. Ron Paul's naive followers are not in the game - and never will be.

[Stavros]

Catastrophe? According to Ryan, the Republican administration will create 12 million new jobs in its first term. Can't argue with that, now, can you?
