Hit the road Hamas lover/terrorist sympathizer! Octavia Nasr canned by CNN
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA, HEY HEY, GOODBYE!
Octavia Nasr has been dumped by CNN after posting a Twitter message saying that she loved and respected the Shiite cleric the Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, who died on Sunday. Considering how much CNN loves Hamas and terrorists, this came as a bit of a surprise. Nasr left her CNN office in Atlanta on Wednesday. Parisa Khosravi, the senior vice president for CNN International Newsgathering, said in an internal memorandum that she “had a conversation” with Nasr on Wednesday morning and that “we have decided that she will be leaving the company.” Too bad. The New York Times is obviously saddened by this firing and goes on to mention to mention that “some supporters” of Israel seized on the Twitter posting almost immediately. Surely it was only Israel supporters and not just regular Americans who remember that Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah was known best for helping to kill 241 U.S. Marines during the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings
CNN officials became aware of Ms. Nasr’s message on Monday, and a spokesman said Tuesday that it was an “error of judgment” on her part. “CNN regrets any offense her Twitter message caused. It did not meet CNN’s editorial standards. This is a serious matter and will be dealt with accordingly,” the spokesman said. Ms. Nasr apparently deleted the post at some point.
