Kudos to CNN! CNN Suspends Roland Martin For ‘Offensive’ Super Bowl Tweets
GLAAD gave kudos CNN after they took a hard stand on anti-LGBT violence by suspending regular CNN commentator Roland Martin for his offensive tweets during the Super Bowl.
It was announced Wednesday that “Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being.”
After news of the suspension broke, GLAAD issued a statement of its own.
“CNN today took a strong stand against anti-LGBT violence and language that demeans any community,” GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro said. “Yesterday, Martin also spoke out against anti-LGBT violence. We look forward to hearing from CNN and Roland Martin to discuss how we can work together as allies and achieve our common goal of reducing such violence as well as the language that contributes to it.”
We are happy that CNN took the right path in conveying a message of anti-violence and that hatred of any sort is unacceptable.
