...fired after racist Facebook post...

That's a fairly big and unsupported presumption. I would first ask the author of this missive to prove her motivations for the facebook post were racial. I would contend her comments appear to be rather uninspired, simply going with what is statistically most likely.

If I say "A terrorist bomb exploded today in ..." and you immediately start wondering what ISIS or Al-Queda et. all is up to now... That's not racist, bigoted, or prejudiced, that's an acknowledgement that virtually all terrorist acts in the last few years have been perpetrated by muslim extremists, and ISIS / Al-Queda are just the latest incarnation.

“WTAE has ended its relationship with anchor Wendy Bell,” Hearst Television, the station’s owner, said in a statement at the time of the incident. “Wendy’s recent comments on a WTAE Facebook page were inconsistent with the company’s ethics and journalistic standards.”

“Ethics” “Journalistic Standards” ????

Those words do not equate with the condition of news media today.

Users complained about the censorship.
