Adam Jacobi tweeted an apology on Friday and announced that he’s now a former CBS employee.

I completely understand and suport why a person is held accountable for they may say. When writing one must be conscious of who it affects as well as how accurate they tell stories.
Yep. Without credibility, a news organization has nothing.
