5 Hours have passed and NBN has still not posted an apology on its homepage.

Berri’s NBN is dealing with this very lightly and thinks it can just get away with half-hearted measures. (For example, I still don’t have any official confirmation that the woman was dismissed)

If we can all use their contact-us page to shame them, perhaps they will show a bit more contrition.

(To understand what this is about, please check the previous post)

** Update **
Sawsan Al-Abtah Darwish was Fired According to NBN:

In a statement, the station said it had fired the anchor and colleague and apologized for “an unintentional mistake.” The statement said, “the comments made do not represent the station in any way.

The NBN’s representative also said: “firing of the anchor should be enough to quell any outrage her comments caused.”

Is it enough?
