I'm sorry but I must have missed where the article mentioned him being blacklisted.

Or are you just being melodramatic?

Well, you see luv, when a top reporter is censored and fired by a mega conglomerate due to his views, you can make the analogy that he has been blacklisted. Do you think he'll find work anywhere else? Maybe for The Onion? He'll definitely re-gain respect that way.

I think it's funny that at first NBC tried defending him. It wouldn't surprise me if they got orders from the "higher-ups" at GE.

A person with no grasp of the english language could make that assumption. The day he is fired is way too soon.

Yes I think he'll find work. Maybe it'll be months, maybe weeks. You don't know, I don't know.

They gave Marv Albert his job back.

To say "blacklist" is the height of foolishness. Why so many of the people who post here are such drama queens is a mystery to me. Many points that could be made here are so quickly overlooked when drama flows so freely.

And a reporters job is to report the news, not make it by being stupid enough to flap his mouth when it's his ears which should be open.

Seems I was wrong.




It took hours.

Daily Mirror newspaper hires fired journalist Peter Arnett
50 minutes ago


LONDON - A British tabloid newspaper said Tuesday it had hired veteran reporter Peter Arnett, who was fired by American TV network NBC after he said the U.S.-led war effort in Iraq (news - web sites) had failed.



"Fired by America for telling the truth," said the Daily Mirror in a front page headline, adding it had hired the "legendary war reporter" to carry on telling the truth.


"I am still in shock and awe at being fired," Arnett wrote for the newspaper, which is vehemently opposed to the war. "I report the truth of what is happening here in Baghdad and will not apologize for it."


NBC fired Arnett, who won a Pulitzer Prize reporting in Vietnam for The Associated Press, on March 31, angered that he had given an unauthorized interview with state-run Iraqi TV saying the American-led war effort initially failed because of Iraq's resistance.


The network said it got thousands of e-mails and phone calls protesting his remarks.

Unfortunately, I'm fairly sure that NBC has every legal right to fire him, they are a private company and can do what they want in that regard. Really though, you would think that he had to have known saying what he did could get him in some serious trouble, yet went ahead and said it anyway.

Touche Luv  :smirk:  Yet, I doubt the "Daily Mirror" will sling-shot him back into the "respectable" community of journalists.

Sling shot? Nope.
But perhaps a long slow walk will teach him that reporters LISTEN AND ASK QUESTIONS.

...and draw conclusions. Let's not pretend that editorialism does not exist in journalism.

National Geographic fired him too. And according to a report I just saw on NBC, although NBC did in fact fire the guy, he wasn't even employed there at the time.

Nope, merely making fun of the many drama queens who post here.

Why? Are you one?

Why not try making an accurate statement without all the exaggeration?
