Comcast Fires Journalist to Defend O'Reilly

The Boston Herald reported yesterday that a local TV journalist on CN8, part of the Comcast network, has been effectively terminated after a two-week paid suspension. The shennigans began after Barry Nolan publicly protest the decision by the local Emmy Awards to honor Fox News' Bill O’Reilly.

CN8 released a statement claiming, "Effective May 20, Barry Nolan is no longer employed by CN8, The Comcast Network." Although, they did not indicate why they fired Nolan, it does not take a rocket scientist to put two and two together.

I have taken matters into my own hands and have terminated Comcast as well. They no longer provide Cable, Internet and Telephone services in my domicile. Comcast may have the last say in the career of Nolan but I will have the last say in choosing to do business with Comcast.

I do not support nor endorse the manner that Comcast decided to handle this given situation. Regardless of Nolan's opinion towards O'Reilly, it was his right to protest and as journalist it is his requirement to inform the public about the nonsense that may be occurring. Bill O'Reilly is not a journalist. He is parrot with talking points spoon fed to him from the GOP. Any human being with a functioning brain that can send electric synapses and can make logical/rational decisions would know better.

I recommend everyone and anyone that currently is subscribed to Comcast or knows someone that relies on Comcast for services to cancel as soon as possible. I have sent Comcast a personal email indicating my decision and I recommend you do as well. Comcast . . . you are fired!
