Yahoo News fires David Chalian (black people drowning comment)

Are they going to fire the idiots around him who were LAUGHING when he said that idiotic statement

They don't mind hating half the American citizens - they just don't like getting caught at it. Those who laughed and agreed get a pass... and all the media haters will try to be more careful... More careful at not getting caught - not more careful about their hatred for us.

[South40]

Buh bye.....jackass!

They probably wanted to fire him so they could replace him with someone who is further left.

[GOPJ]

NBC will find a place for him, no problemo.

NBC will offer him a job in the 'we doctor tapes' department...

[napscoordinator]

Your right. I just thought your sentence was funny that is all.

I will overlook your rude remark about the fool being fat.

ABC News, where Chalian was political director until 2010, has partnered with Yahoo News for 2012 political coverage...

I'll bet he said the same kinds of things when he worked for ABC too - and none of them cared. They probably jumped in with their own hateful comments.

I have no idea why our people are participating in debates moderated by a bunch of liberal elite media whores. I have absolutely no respect for the MSM...

What kind of a social disease it a “morequecho?”

Based on this it might be worth investigating.

I went to high school with Richard Head. He was two years ahead of me.

1000x worse than Todd Akin’s comments

Will get 1/1000 the coverage

[Tallguy]

Go over to Huffington Post and read some of the comments. Seems a lot of people over there agree with Chalian. This is the opposition, and they sure aren’t ‘loyal’. If Romney & the Republicans don’t crush these people at the ballot box, AND follow through with unraveling the nanny-state these people will be back in control in 4 to 8 years with somebody even worse than Obama leading the charge.

I wonder what she's been saying about Todd Akin?

>> The one from Iowahawk made me LOL!

“#HesyourproblemnowMcdonalds” was a nice parting shot.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Hehehe! That’s the one!

[gallandro1]

Quick question, I see Chalian was fired from Yahoo News, but the article makes no mention of his position as ABC News’ Political Director.

Has he been relieved from that position as well?

It really takes a lot of hate to come up with stuff like that. And they accuse conservatives of hate because of voter id or a birth certificate?

[BipolarBob]

How come this ain’t being reported on Yahoo! news?
