Journalist Fired After Tweeting Joke

CTV (Canada) has parted ways with investigative Reporter Peter Akman for a tweet he posted.

He posted a picture and said that he hoped he didn’t get the coronavirus while getting a haircut. He included a photo of himself beside his barber, a man of Asian ancestry who was wearing a surgical mask.

He later posted and apology, but not before it cost him his job.
