Mediaite is reporting that a CNN top editor has been ousted after tweeting sympathy for the death of a Hezbollah leader.

“In the latest case of new media (or oversharing) gone wrong, CNN's Senior Editor of Mideast Affairs Octavia Nasr is leaving the company following the controversy caused by her tweet in praise of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah," Mediaite writes. “Mediaite has the internal memo, which says 'we believe that her credibility in her position as senior editor for Middle Eastern affairs has been compromised.'

”Nasr tweeted this weekend: 'Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah... One of Hezbollah's giants I respect a lot.'

“After a blog post expanding on her position, CNN promised the issue was 'serious' and would 'be dealt with accordingly.' That's apparently her exit from CNN.”
