Comment: What we see here is just another case of a journalist being fired for espousing an opinion of Israel that is anything other than positive. Clancy obviously knows about Israel propaganda since he referred to his opponents as Hasbara. And he found out it doesn't take long for Hasbara operatives to get to work on him.
For more than three decades, international correspondent Jim Clancy reported the news and anchored several programs for the Cable News Network.
That long-time record came to an abrupt end on Friday, when he left CNN more than a week after he got into an angry Twitter argument in which he claimed that people who disagree with him regarding Mohammed cartoons are "agents for Israel" and used a derogatory term for disabled individuals.
Clancy's memo began:
After nearly 34 years with Cable News Network, the time has come to say farewell! It has been my honor to work alongside all of you for all of these years.According to the Honest Reporting website, the exchange began when Clancy issued a bizarre defense of cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed published by a Danish newspaper in 2005 and by Charlie Hebdo in 2011, which led to violent protests in both western capitals and throughout the Islamic world.
This is one of the greatest news organizations in the world. It has truly revolutionized information delivery while driving technological advances in how we gather the news.
"The cartoons NEVER mocked the Prophet," Clancy wrote. "They mocked how the COWARDS tried to distort his word. Pay attention."
Comment: As if America's non-Gitmo trained cops weren't bad enough.
