Why did CNN fire him???
They did a routine physical and learned that he has a brain.
I time Hemmer's being "bumped" from CNN with his very respectful coverage of the pope's funeral. CNN will not tolerate repsect towards Catholics. lol
Actually, I see I was wrong. He wasn;t fired but rather left CNN after being fired from their morning show. From Washington Post:
"A contract dispute with CNN became public in May when Hemmer told a reporter the Atlanta-based network wanted him to give up his co-anchor spot on "American Morning" and move to Washington to become senior White House correspondent. Hemmer, who wanted to stay in New York for personal reasons, was soon replaced on the show by Miles O'Brien, who shares anchoring duties with the similarly named but unrelated Soledad O'Brien."

They wanted him to take a new slot as White House reporter; he didn't want to move, so CNN fired him.
