ABC Producer Suspended Over Email: 'Bush makes me sick.' (Updated)

ABC weekend Good Morning America producer John Green (previous post here) has reportedly been suspended for a month by ABC. From the New York Observer:

ABC News executives have suspended Weekend Good Morning America executive producer John Green for a month, after two politically charged personal e-mails Green sent to a colleague were leaked to the press, according to two network sources.

The exposure of Green's gross bias went virtually unreported by the mainstream media.

Update: protein wisdom notes that another Green memo describes Green's distaste for Madeleine Albright because she has "Jew shame".

Meanwhile, the mainstream media have remained silent on the original memo story and the decision to suspend Green, which was made, conveniently, on a Friday in order to minimize its impact in the standard news cycle. ABC needn't have bothered; their buddies are covering for them just fine.

1 Is that with or without pay? If they're just giving him a bonus month vacation, that would make me sick.

4 You know, I don't care that the guy thinks this or that he sent personal e-mails to that effect. It's not a first amendment issue--his employer is private--but I've sent politically charged personal e-mails from work and I wouldn't expect to get fired for that. I do care about biased news coverage. Let the guy work, just be honest about his biases and quit pretending that ABC is objective.

5 >>>Let the guy work, just be honest about his biases and quit pretending that ABC is objective. I see your point. By firing him ABC gets to pretend they're objective even though they aren't. They'll only replace him with another one just like him.

6 As far as I know, they didn't fire him; they suspended him for a month. What's more telling, and chilling, is the near total MSM news blackout on the memo and the suspension.

7 I like to look at this as more testimony to the power of the Internet, with no consensus control to silence real news.

8 Were the emails sent through his work account? That would make a difference. Otherwise, I'm with C Dub. If they'd all just qust quit pretending... And I'm still wondering why Jews largely remain in the Democratic Party when most of the anti-semitism we hear of comes from that party.

9 Oyster, What an interesting comment about Jews and the Democrat Party! Might it be that, in general terms, Republicans do not support the Bill of Rights that protects people from an abusive government? (They may have experience in that regard.) (Today being April Fools Day, it is difficult to know when one's leg is being pulled... or not)

10 "...Republicans do not support the Bill of Rights that protects people from an abusive government..." What? Hey everyone, here's a liberal knock-knock joke. Knock-knock! Who's there? BUSHISHITLER! Bushishitler who? YEAAARGH!!!

11 "Might it be that, in general terms, Republicans do not support the Bill of Rights that protects people from an abusive government?" Even if such a statement were true, what the heck does it have to do with mine?

13 Let's see. Just for the moment I am a Jew. Hey! I'm rich. Ok, not really, but here we go. Conversation overheard between me and my Jewish neighbor who is a Democrat: "Uh, Aaron, the Democrats are now saying that the Jews are the ones at fault in Palestine, and if we would just surrender Israel and let the Palis take over, they would be so kind and loving toward us, especially to our women." "The Democrats said that. And they now call us Zionists and obstructionists and xenophobic. But, the Democrats promise to protect us from the evil Republicans. You know, the evil party that supports Israel and fights terror. And when you talk to al-Queda and other terrorists in the ME like Hamas and Hezbollah, they listen in without telling you. Now this is very bad, especially for the terrorists and their enablers. I don't know, Joseph, I've been a Democrat all my life, and just because they have become a party of anti-Americanism and pro-terror is no reason to leave now." "Ok, Aaron, I see your logic. The Democrats have turned against us, but hey, they are sure to need us sometime in the future, so ride that jackass to the bitter end."

14 Oyster, there are basically two factions of Jews; those who love America and support Israel, and those who do not. There are a few who love America and do not support Israel, but I have met few of these. I used to think the divide was along secular and religious lines, but now, having met many of both persuasions and read many works from both sides, I see it goes deeper and is much more complex, but the fact remains that there are many in the echelons of power in this country, Mayor Bloomberg of New York, for example, who seem to feel that they should side with muslims who want to kill them rather than with Americans, (read: Evil Whitey), who have been their only champions for the last half-century. My short answer is this: I don't trust anyone anymore, because such inexplicable behavior of taking sides with a declared enemy, or known traitors, is either indication of insanity, stupidity, or ulterior motives. Our own president refuses to do his job, defends the enemy's doctrine while pretending to fight them, and muslims and illegal aliens are still flooding into our country with the one goal of taking over. Nero was more attentive to his duties than Bush. At this rate, America will be unlivable in a few years, but we have no place else to go, so we must choose to fight, or submit and lose our country. I choose to fight, even if it means fighting against our own government, which it looks like will be the case, since they seem to be thoroughly infiltrated by communists, muslims, and appeasers.
