Mark Lamont Hill’s Ouster From CNN- We Add To The our List of Journalists Exiled From Mainstream Media Because of Their Views

From the coverage by FAIR, Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting

As part of our “Where Do You Get Your News” forums we created (and included in our background materials) a list of journalist exiled from mainstream media for expression of their views.  See: 

List of Journalists Fired or Self-exiled From Mainstream Media Outlets Because They Expressed or Wanted to Express Views (Like Being Critical of U.S. Wars) Unacceptable to the Outlets They Were Working For

We have now updated that list to include CNN’s firing of Marc Lamont Hill in November, 2018.  Mr. Hill, an American academic, author, activist, and television personality, a Professor of Media Studies and Urban Education at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was fired from his position as a commentator for CNN twenty-four hours after he expressed his opinion on the Arab–Israeli conflict before the U.N. that was too sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians.  He said that Palestinians have a right to resist their occupation by Israel through international boycotts of Israel and to defend themselves from the Israeli military.  This point of view was considered unacceptably anti-Israel (while some tried to cast his view as being antisemitic).

And the views of the others exiled from mainstream media?  We invite you to take a look.
