Pascal, 56, was targeted during a cyber attack on the movie studio ahead of the release of the Kim Jong-un assassination comedy The Interview, which saw a string of her emails leaked - including one in which she made an embarrassing jibe about President Obama.

She isn’t going anywhere according to the article. Media spin to get race-baitors off Sony’s back.

"Sony boss Amy Pascal is leaving the Hollywood studio to set up her own production firm"

Right. AFter her catty and snide remarks about the Hollywood talent she's worked with I'll bet A-list actor and directors will be lining up to work with this production company. Paging Angelina Jolie.........

How much did she donate to Obama? Probably had fundraisers for him too.

She is not out of a job she just got shuffled somewhere else and I bet she is still being paid a pretty penny.

So asking if a black man likes recent black-themed and black-acted movies is racist. Righty-o. Don't they expect and hope that black people like these movies?

Just another stretch to paint Hussein as a victim of white racism.
