Excerpt:

Just a few short days after Octavia Nasr tweeted her fondness for the late Hezbollah leader Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, she’s out of a job.

The offending message? “Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah… One of Hezbollah’s giants I respect a lot.” Bravo to CNN for having the courage to stand up quickly and act. It took less than a week for this to unfold.
