Thomas Friedman On The Firing Of Octavia Nasr

Friedman:

I find Nasr’s firing troubling [..] [we] gain a great deal by having an Arabic-speaking, Lebanese-Christian female journalist covering the Middle East for CNN, and if her only sin in 20 years is a 140-character message about a complex figure like Fadlallah, she deserved some slack. She should have been suspended for a month, but not fired. It’s wrong on several counts.

I thought we solved that matter. CNN are pussies .

There’s also a bonus in that article: A reference to Hanin Ghaddar’s article which I previously linked to.
