Reportedly, Yahoo News Washington bureau chief fired for saying Romney's 'Happy to Throw a Party With Black People Dying"

Yahoo News Washington bureau chief: Romney's 'Happy to Throw a Party With Black People Dying"


This is typical of the attitude of the mainstream media towards Republicans, Conservatives and Libertarians. You may have heard in the video the laughter from others at his callous joke .

TAMPA, Fla. -- Yahoo News has fired Washington bureau chief David Chalian after he was caught on a hot-mic during an online video broadcast saying that Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, had no problem with African Americans suffering as a result of Hurricane Isaac, a source familiar with the situation tells POLITICO. (Now confirmed: see below)[...]

UPDATE (1:30 p.m.): Yahoo News confirms:

"David Chalian's statement was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo!.  He has been terminated effective immediately. We have already reached out to the Romney campaign, and we apologize to Mitt Romney, his staff, their supporters and anyone who was offended."

David Chalian has tweeted an apology, but his Twitter bio still lists him as Yahoo! News Washington Bureau Chief. Chalian needs to update it to Ex Yahoo douche bag.

I am profoundly sorry for making an inappropriate and thoughtless joke. Full statement here: facebook.com/davidchalian

MSNBC will probably hire him and give him a big raise. Wait...maybe it will be PBS. PBS managing editor, moderator of Washington Week and a senior correspondent for the PBS NewsHour, Gwen Ifill, tweeted her support for David Chalian and called him "God's gift to political journalism."

One mistake does not change this. @davidchalian is God's gift to political journalism. #IStandwithDavid

Shameful! BP Buys Oil Spill Search Words ON Google And Yahoo To Redirect People To Their Site!

In a shameful attempt to spin the Gulf oil spill, BP has admitted they bought search the term 'oil spill' on Google and Yahoo. Instead of real news about the spill, people who click the link at the top of the search result page are directed to a BP site.

Examiner reported:

In their most tenacious effort to control the ‘spin’ on the worst oil spill disaster in the history, BP has purchased top internet search engine words so they can re-direct people away from real news on the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe.

BP spokesman Toby Odone confirmed to ABC News that the oil giant had in fact bought internet search terms. So now when someone searches the words ‘oil spill’, on the internet, the top link will re-direct them to BP’s official company website.

This would not be the first time that BP has tried to control information to protect the company’s public image...
