Sorry, I disagree. Carl shouldn't be fired. He didn't report this on air. He didn't use fake documents. He didn't try to destroy anyone or alter an election. This (his report with added true comical comments)was accidentally posted on the Fox News website.
NASCAR went overboard with Dale Jr. Fine him for the profanity, but they shouldn't have taken points away.
This is no different than when President Reagan said on an open mike that we would start bombing the Soviet Union in 30 minutes. It was a gag to release some tension and it accidentally got posted. Have you seen the commercial where the guy accidentally sends a disgusting e-mail about the boss to the whole office, including the boss? The guy just says "Thanks" and all is good. Carl should just tell MoveOn.org "Thanks."
