DC: CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” a program dedicated to all things media, failed to mention Sunday that one of the network’s contributors was canned for controversial comments about Israel.
CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill was fired Thursday, just one day after he spoke about the Israel-Palestine conflict at the U.N. commemoration of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
“We must prioritize peace, but we must not romanticize or fetishize it. We must promote non-violence at every opportunity, but cannot endorse narrow politics that shames Palestinians for resisting, for refusing to do nothing in ethnic cleansing,” Lamont Hill said during his speech. “Justice requires a Free Palestine from the River to the Sea.”
“From the river to the sea” is a slogan used by Hamas and Palestinian nationalists that endorses the destruction of the state of Israel, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
CNN media reporter and “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter covered the firing in his newsletter on Thursday night, noting that there are varying reactions to CNN’s decision to let Lamont Hill go. more here
Why would anyone watch cnn to know this?
What is that big black thing in his picture? Looks like a giant Oreo cookie.
Who is Marc Lamont and what is cnn?
Whenever he talked, my eyes glazed over.
Between the fast talk, and it not making any coherent sense, sounded like Charlie Brown’s teacher.
Fast talk does not equal fast wit.
Mark Dice does a screamingly funny imitation of stelter.
I hear all those CNN-paid TV monitors at airports are very sensitive to magnets. . . .
