    Google "Obama" and "N*****" and you will find out.

    There you go: she admitted there is a policy in the employee handbook regarding social media and casting the station in a negative light. End of story. (5:20)

    I know it isn't right.... but if a woman is attractive enough, I don't care what her political beliefs are. She can be a neo Nazi and I simply don't care. Like this woman, I don't believe she should have lost her job. Now a man posts the same thing or expresses the same sentiment? A completely different scenario.

    Is she going to join Tomi Lauren as the 'thank god we are hot or my communication degree would have been worthless' duo who arrouses 60 year old sexually frustrated white male bigots?

    "You posted something factual, that this nation is more divided because of Obama.."

    This is how stupidity feeds off of each other. How someone at such a station can't comprehend that correlation doesn't = causation is scary. The right needs to do a better job of educating their base. Its embarrassing.

    "My twitter is even. My Instagram is even" - modern day journalism folks.

    Anyone who subscribes to the "Obama dived this country" rhetoric obviously is suspect to eating up platitude rhetoric with no nuance.

    BTW, this is a GOOD thing for her career. With modern media consumption, bet your ass that she is going to be given a lucrative offer from some 'independent' right wing news source. It's pathetic, but she's more desirable now for many 'news organizations'.

    Her father is an Iranian immigrant. I thought everyone would be happy to get this Iranian out of media :rolleyes:

    Misogynistic comments like these reduce women's credentials to their looks and set women back in the work force. Shame.

    On the contrary, I was just pointing out that it's pretty surprising no one had said that yet.

    Her last name is "fakhar." It's the lowest of low hanging fruits for puns. But I guess you can take that as misogyny if you'd like.
