            Are you suggesting a boss would not retaliate against subordinate if he doesn’t like something about him?

              Now it’s the are you suggesting BS.

              I’m suggesting that on air talking heads, especially non prime time, are changed all the time. Their ethnicity really doesn’t play into it, but some people feel better thinking that it does.

                Nobody suggested he was dismissed for his “ethnicity”

                Where are you getting this from?

                Suggestion is that his coverage was not appreciated and he was dismissed for it.

                  Fine, but who was watching? Not many eyes at his broadcast time and channel execs don’t care when there are few eyes on the box. Who cares.
