CNN Editor Gets Canned For Tweeting Respectfully About The Death Of A Controversial Lebanese Cleric: Tweets

ggreenwald - So perplexing how most of the content-based firings from The Liberal Media happen when the Right throws a hissy fit: http://is.gd/dj66s
- Thank God this America-hating, Terrorist-Lover will poison our airwaves no more: http://is.gd/djhOs (h/t @chrishayes)

- Really is ironic that the network with a former AIPAC employee as its long-term main anchor cites objectivity perceptions to fire Nasr

- It would be so much more honest if CNN would just identify which opinions are forbidden rather than pretending they're upholding objectivity
chrislhayes - Previous tweets referring to this: http://bit.ly/cCZhBp . You should definitely read octavianasrCNN 's response: http://bit.ly/caR3US
Sayyed Fadlallah. Revered across borders yet designated a terrorist. Not the kind of life to be commenting about in a brief tweet. It's something I deeply regret.
