CNN Fires Miles Obrien and Science Team

And just last week I was thinking to myself I liked the guy. At least how he handled the ufo stuff. That other ignorant bitch was another story.

I don't know Miles outside of the 3 segments I saw. Maybe he is a douche.
 
Miles O'Brien should have stuck to being the engineer on DS9.

I never cared for CNN, as they are pretty much laughable as a news source today.
 
I'm convinced that anyone you see as either a politician, or a Newscaster, are the proverbial tools of Satan.
 
So fire the actual reporter who's trying to approach the UFO topic objectively but keep the empty-headed mouthpiece that laughs at even the mention of the subject... can't help but wonder if Miles found out something maybe he shouldn't have.
 
Funny you should think that way.

I've always been interested in watching how people cover stories, and then see how their careers end up.

Peter Jennings is a pretty good example. He did the big UFO special, and then died shortly thereafter.

He was actually pretty even handed on the subject, even if some of the people on the show were idiots.
 
It's just peculiar. Before this O'Brien was their go-to guy for all the NASA stuff; shuttles, satellites, the ISS, whatever, if it was aerospace he covered it. Up til now his reporting has been level and dry. So he decides to do a UFO special and suddenly he's fired? Maybe I'm too conspiratorially minded but that strikes me as more than suspect...

Face it Capn. The universe loves dangling what we want to see in front of us, only to yank it away. Miles was a joke on me and you. ;)
 
Or, it would just be the same stuff about budgets tightening, lack of interest all that crap. You never know.
