So much for freedom of the press

I see what you’re saying Saint. And perhaps I see my world thru rose-colored glasses at times but I truly think that the same type of pressure to resign would happen in US should a member of the press speak against Muslims or South Asians. These days, I think US is particularly sensitive to Muslims and Asians and careful to deliniate between Muslims and (for lack of a better term) Radical Islamists (terrorist or taleban types).** Maybe I’m wong but I havent read or seen offfensive-to-Muslim types of reports from US based media.**

Whether that woman spoke on her own time or not, she is a well known member of the press and thats why her comments were so publisized. As a member of the press, she has a responsibility to her employer any time she opens her mouth.

You are very worng. Am not going in to reasons why, but offensive statements about muslims are abundant on US media. Jay Severin said about muslims, “kill them all” and nothing happened, later he made a derogatory comment about mexicans and he was suspended.
