Really? Objectivity is a requirement in the mainstream media? When did you come to realize and accept it?

Who accepts it? They pretend to be objective and some pretend to believe it. Most people see through them, they hate to be exposed. This particular editor was an embarassment to them because she broke the charade and gave the right one more example of the mainstream media's bias.

Are you nuts?
Who murdered the Marines in Lebanon?

Hezzbolah is a terrorists organization!

She should have been fired.
Terrorist Bombing Of The Marine Barracks, Beirut, Lebanon

This has nothing to do with Israel.
I know that in your sick mind only people who kills non Jews are entitled to the title Terrorist, but this guy was a "kill all" guy.
But, They always start with the Jews than to go on to people like you too.

You are so consume with hate to Israel that you can so see straight.

So, objectivity is not a requirement, pretense to be objective is.

Noooo, objectivity is a requirement. I simply do not believe they are objective, I believe it is a pretense. This person simply outed herself.

I'm no "Israel citizen wannabe" but I do recognize a race bating anti-semite thread when I see it.

CNN is an American Corporation. If they want to fire one of their reporters who chose to publically Tweet her support and respect for a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of US soldiers then that is their perrogative.

Hezbollah saw those American soldiers as invaders, what would you think if the Egyptian Army set up shop in your neighborhood?

I respected Nasr when I used to watch Clinton News Network but haven't seen her for over a year and a half since I got Fox on my program. Oh well, she will probably make more money at Fox, anyway. Oh yeah, lots of ex-CNNs go to work at Fox and probably for more money.
