5108...Yahoo Editor Gassed

It was on my Slatest.

HOT MIC: "They are happy to have a party with black people drowning." Those were the words that cost Yahoo! News Washington bureau chief his job today, after his comments were recorded during last night's online broadcast by a live microphone.
Yahoo!: "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."
Sure it is probably true but since when did we want to have truth get in the way of correctness.
