It's great that CNN fired the twit, but they will never be seen as objective.

Take yourself and your family and go live in the barrio, Ken.
Then let’s see how long you last and whether you’re a “racist’

I dont understand what gave him the impression that he can be an on-air “reporter” and then use Twitter under his real name to call people names.

Snowflake entitlement. Been that way a while in journalism. Some places curb it, some don’t. Most don’t until something like this happens, a grievance is filed and a week later the reporter is brought back after people forget.

I dont understand what gave him the impression that he can be an on-air reporter and then use Twitter under his real name to call people names.Not just people, a candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. And he thought so because employees of his network and other networks regularly display absolutely zero respect for any Republican candidate making this action by CNN completely hypocritical at best when they all do it.

CNN is a joke and they know it. This man was expendable. So they threw him to the wayside in a vain attempt at objectivity.
It failed.
