CNN Editor Mohammed Elshamy was forced to resign on Thursday after he was revealed to have made despicable anti-semitic remarks. As Breitbart reports:
An editor at CNN has resigned after a series of antisemitic comments he made resurfaced on Thursday.

CNN’s statement accepting the resignation of the editor makes clear the editor had worked at CNN for some time, and had made the antisemitic statements back in 2011.
The tweets from Mohammed Elshamy, a photo editor for CNN, first surfaced earlier on Thursday. They were until then still public on Elshamy’s Twitter account:
Whoa. What does @elshamyme mean by “shitty Jewish idiot” @CNNPR? pic.twitter.com/HjJOj1cn24

Hey @CNNPR. How does someone like @elshamyme who tweets things like this get through the hiring process at CNN? Asking for some friends. pic.twitter.com/6NAjINmYhQ

It remains to be seen if CNN will be honest with its audience about this matter and any internal investigations into it. CNN has a history of covering up resignations of people involved in scandals in its organization. In 2017, three senior CNN officials resigned amid a fake news story on the Russia probe–and CNN has still not answered a series of questions about the matter and has not published, as is the ethical standard for organizations purporting to publish news content, its findings of the internal investigation into the publication of that fake news.
CNN has repeated shown far-left bias against President Trump and his MAGA agenda. It seems hard to believe that they didn’t know about this editor’s disgusting anti-semitic views. Regardless, at this point they’ve lost all credibility with the American people.
