Not sure if I'm comfortable with the trend I'm seeing here. Whether one agrees with someone's views or not, it doesn't make sense to me to see people lose their jobs and careers because of something they said about politics.

This is the sort of thing that's happened to conservatives for a long time in this country--conservatives persecuted for their views, etc. As a conservative, I don't feel comfortable cheering when liberals are economically punished for their beliefs.

I know there's a temptation to see this as "paying back" the Left, but at some point this brutal form of politics has to stop. People have to work for a living, after all. What goes around comes around, and all that.

Not the first time for him. He lost his job at CNN for fabricating anti-US propaganda that the US had chemically bombed a Laotian village.

It's not about his views, but the fact that he committed treason.
