The sickening race-baiting by “real journalists” is showing once again. This time, it was Yahoo! News bureau chief. That’s right. The bureau chief.
The person joking about RNC on live ABC News feed was David Chalian of Yahoo News: http://t.co/jTpfmLFK

His disgusting race-baiting was exposed for all the world to hear via a hot microphone. NewsBusters reports:
In video broadcast Monday night by ABC and Yahoo over the Internet, Chalian can be heard claiming that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife Ann are unconcerned about the fate of residents of the New Orleans area who are currently being hit by Hurricane Isaac.
“They aren’t concerned at all,” Chalian can be heard on the live broadcast. “They are happy to have a party when black people drown.”
That line elicits laughter from several employees listening in on the joke.
Of course, other media lapdogs laugh at it. Laugh. Race-baiting and mocking of people in the path of a potentially deadly storm is hilarious! If you are a morally bankrupt cretin. That means you, Mr. Chalian.
Hi @DavidChalian , did you bother to offer a prayer for Issac victims before using them in racebaiting attack? #RNC2012

Of course not. People are disposable and are merely a means to an agenda end. Citizens are disgusted and are rightfully calling for punitive action.
Wondering how @DavidChalian still has a job this morning.

Easy, he's a liberal working for a liberal outlet. RT: @RBPundit: Wondering how @DavidChalian still has a job this morning.

Dear @YahooNews, how does @DavidChalian still have a job right now? This is not an idle question. We're demanding an answer. #tcot #p2
— RBe (@RBPundit) August 29, 2012
no word yet from @DavidChalian if he thinks it's OK for Obama to campaign in Iowa, Colo and Va while black ppl drown
— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) August 29, 2012
Indeed. Nor any mention of Governor Jindal’s public plea for FEMA and the Obama administration to answer urgent storm-related requests. President Obama is too busying campaigning.
This wasn't some random staffer, @YahooNews. This was the WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF, @DavidChalian. Why does he still have a job?
— RBe (@RBPundit) August 29, 2012
I don't say this lightly, but @YahooNews needs to fire @DavidChalian TODAY. http://t.co/Xyg8VQfJ

@DarylT I'm not calling for government censorship of @DavidChalian. But @YahooNews hired him to pose as objective; That mask is now gone.
— jon gabriel (@exjon) August 29, 2012
the two idiots who threw nuts will get more coverage than @DavidChalian's unprofessional conduct.
— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) August 29, 2012
That would be @DavidChalian RT @CindyCoops Rush is going to play the audio of the jackass ABC news employee.
— Steve “Beto” Parkhurst (@SteveParkhurst) August 29, 2012
And, evidently, Mr. Chalian has bravely run away.

I'm happy to have a party while @DavidChalian gets fired.

Are you listening, Yahoo! News? Will you denounce this repugnant race-baiting and despicable behavior of your bureau chief? What about you, ABC?
Update:
Hey @DavidChalian you may want to change your bio.
— Wendy (@wendysboys) August 29, 2012
Why, you may ask? Well, looks like Yahoo gave him the boot.
RT @DylanByers: UPDATE: YAHOO News confirms: David Chalian "terminated effective immediately" http://t.co/QmFcxwZI

David Chalian's statement was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo!. He has been terminated.

…We apologize to Mitt Romney, his staff, their supporters and anyone who was offended.
