So while Mitt claims to know how to create jobs, he's just destroyed another one like all those he used to downsize and outsource over at Bain.
"Yahoo News' Washington bureau chief David Chalian was fired on Wednesday after a hot-mic incident during an online broadcast from the GOP convention in Tampa. Media watchdog NewsBusters was first to post audio of the incident. Politico broke the news of his firing."
"During the broadcast, Chalian can be heard saying that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife Ann were "not concerned at all" and "happy to have a party with black people drowning." Chalian seemed to be referring to the simultaneous occurrence of the GOP convention convening in Tampa and Hurricane Isaac hammering its way across the gulf coast and through New Orleans."
"A Yahoo spokesperson released a statement regarding the company's decision to fire Chalian "effective immediately:"
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.

I'm offended that a good reporter was fired just to please these two vapid fat cats, Mitt and Ann Romney. But no doubt, Yahoo doesn't care about that.
I mean, what's left out of the equation is even a pretense of considering whether or not what he says is true. All that matters is the Romney's discomfiture which is all that matters. Yahoo is falling all over themselves "reaching out" to the Duke and Duchess. Next I expect this Yahoo spokersperson to offer up his or her kidney.
What an injustice that the someone had the nerve to say something unflattering about the Duke and Duchess.
Wow. You are a nut. Want to know who destroyed David Chalian's job?
ReplyDeleteDavid Chalian.
Anon do you have any basis for calling me a nut? Chalian just told the truth. A lot of people are losing their homes right now in Lousiania and do the Duke and Duchess Mitt and Ann Romney care?
ReplyDeleteOf course not. But craven organizations like Yahoo are more interested in sucking up to the Romneys than any sort of journalistc intergirty.
Chalian's sin was being honest just like Juan Williams was last night.
Yes, I do have a basis for calling you a nut. Yahoo may have been sucking up, but you have no idea if they were or weren't. That makes you a nut.
DeletePeople are losing homes but you are not inside the Romney's minds and therefore have no idea if they care or not. So you are talking out of your ass. That makes you nutty.
Chalian didn't tell any "truth", he gave an opinion. You can't tell the difference. Which makes you a nut.
And he would still have a job if he 1.) kept his bigoted mouth shut or 2.) understood how microphones work. In other words, you ignored my explanation of who is responsible for his unemployment. Which is nutty AND cowardly.
Nut.
Good riddance. I hope that as President Mitt Rommney will be able to fire Chris Matthews, Al Sharpton, Ed (the fat guy), Rachel Maddows and the whole MSNBC liberal gang.
ReplyDeleteAnon I saw your "explanation" of why he got fired but it's stupid. I don't accept it which makes me discerning and you stupid.
ReplyDeleteYou don't seem to know what "nut" means. I may not know what's in their minds but their actions gives me a good indication.
They could not care less about black people losing their homes in Louisiana. All they care about is someone said something unlfattering about them.
So Mitt got someone else "downsized" which is all he's good at.
"And he would still have a job if he 1.) kept his bigoted mouth shut or 2.) understood how microphones work. In other words, you ignored my explanation of who is responsible for his unemployment. Which is nutty AND cowardly"
Not only do you not know what "nut" means you don't know aht cowardly means-it means you. YOu engage in silly insults hiding behind Anonymous.
I notice you consider it "nuts" to every speculate or infer anything about someone's mental state beyond what they explicitly say. If that's true then you are also a "nut" as you are assuming that Chailan is a bigot though you also don't know that.
Just like other Republicans you are a very nasty piece of work with no intelectual baiss for anything you say. All you know are puerile insults.
Mitt Romney is a sorry emotinally autistic half-man who can't tell us what he thinks or feels and so needs his vapid wife to tell us.
If she is his secret weapon he is defenseless.
Quite a few typos there. Between those and you logic, I must ask. Are you drunk?
DeleteC'mon Anon. Whining about typos? That's all you have? What errors in logic? You haven't demonstrated one.
DeleteThe fact is that Chalian told the truth and you and Mitt Romney can't deal with it.
Like all conservatives you have no intellectual argument just childish insults.
So TD you want everyone off the air that doesn't suck up to Mitt Romney. Like all conservatives you hate democracy and open intlelectual discussion.
ReplyDeleteYou are a true enemy of freedom and ought to move to some dictatorship like Venezula or Saudi Arabia-where there's nothing but state television.
Chalian was right. He was fired for telling the truth about the mindless, souless Romneys.
I'm happy to say it makes me feel wonderful that this idiot lost his job,and hope that he doesn't find another one outside of flippin burgers,just like the m0r0n that was fired for ranting at the Chick Fil A Cashier,I'm hoping he doesn't find employment either.Actions should have severe consequences.
ReplyDelete"Actions should have severe consequences."
ReplyDeleteIe, you are a vengeful little troll. Do you mean all actions? Of course not just those "actions" you don't approve of.
I notice too that you conservatives love that word "severe" just like Romney promised he is a "very servere conservative"
Even he realized that's the defintiion of conservativsm-mean spirited, vengeful, and "severe"
What you haven't even begin to do is explain why Chalian deserves to be fired.
