Liz TrottaShe made a joke about Obama being assassinated and now people are calling for her to be fired. Here's the "joke": She's done a fine job for many years, is one mistake enough to fire her? "The first female to cover a war for television, Trotta has had enough important journalistic currents flowing through her reportorial life to keep one of those public television media panels going for months. It was her good fortune to be assigned to some of the biggest stories of recent years -- the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, the Yom Kuppur War, Chappaquiddick, the McGovern campaign, the hostage crisis in Iran, the von Bulow trial, the invasion of Grenada. Her misfortune was to almost always be the wrong person in the wrong place at the wrong time." -Columbia Journalism Review She even apologized: However, there's still a petition to have her fired. "Liz Trotta's comment about Presidential candidate Obama on the 25th of May is inexcusable. We ask the FOX news management to sack Liz Trotta ASAP." --See it here Other Links you might find useful: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,34775,00.html Trackback URL for this post:http://www.ungab.com/trackback/94

Are you kidding me!
The humor in all of this is that we are even discussing if Liz Trotta should be fired. News personalities have been fired for much, much less. This is an abomination in my opinion. I would feel the same way if it were said about Rush Limbaugh. To suggest that a U.S. Senator running for President is related to Osama Bin Laden, and it would be ok to have him assasinated is news in it's most gross form. For the suggestion to come from a major news agency magnifies the issue exponentialy. How about not watching FOX or any of it's affilliates. I love "24" but I can skip it on principle.
