Media

In a very unusual move for the establishment, a person is held accountable, fired, for his actions.

"David Chalian, the Yahoo News Washington Bureau chief, has been fired after getting caught on a hot mike telling a fellow host on an live ABC News web show to “feel free to say” that “they” — Mitt Romney and his fellow Republicans — “are happy to have a party with black people drowning.”
The implication: that Republicans’ decision to continue with their convention despite the hurricane hitting New Orleans means they don’t care about black people.
Chalian’s words were first caught by the conservative media criticism site Newsbusters. Yahoo has released a statement apologizing for the comment and announcing that Chalian had been terminated. "

Good for Yahoo. They're new CEO might just work out for them.

My Google aggregator page shows only one headline about Romney's speech. Did he give one? Clint Eastwood also rates one headline. Isaac rates only one. How much do you want to be that at midnight, Thursday next week, pretty much every headline on my homepage links to something about Obama's speech? Stay tuned for next week...
