LA Times fires reporter who wanted Trump dead
The Washington Examiner ^ | November 3, 2016 | Eddie Scarry

Posted on 11/03/2016 7:30:28 PM PDT by kevcol

"Earlier today, Steven Borowiec, a freelance journalist in South Korea, posted a tweet about Donald Trump on his personal Twitter profile that violated our professional standards," the paper said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

"The Los Angeles Times is committed to fair, evenhanded coverage of the presidential campaign, and expects all journalists representing the paper, including non-staff contributors such as Mr. Borowiec, to adhere to this standard in their articles and social media posts," it said. "We regard Mr. Borowiec's comment as inexcusable, and we have ended our relationship with him."

Pretty sure the ONLY reason they fired him was to avoid even MORE blow-back.

Did they move him to assignment in NORTH Korea? *SNORT*

That would be so sweet...

Stopped reading right there.

I see the LA Times every day and their so-called coverage of the candidates is utterly laughable. They are not even pretending to be objective and to stick to the five W's of journalism.

Thank you, LA Times.
Even your paper has limits, apparently.

“Anyone else think we can co-exist with liberals? I don’t.”

Spot on. I describe most liberals as “subhuman” & “uncivilized”.

Some people may disagree & say that those descriptions are going too far, but I stand by them. For confirmation of those descriptions, just look at the liberals’ violent behavior, language & intolerance of dissenting views.

Make no mistake, liberals want conservatives destroyed, literally.

There is no way this violates their so-called journalistic standards. They have none. They are a propaganda machine for the commies.

Their problem is that if it is obvious to ALL (not just Freepers) then the jig is up. All the old media is having the same problem. They are so yesterday.
