TV reporter fired for asking cardinal a question

A Dominican TV journalist has been fired after the country's armed forces minister Ramon Aquino objected to the reporter asking Cardinal Lopez Rodriguez to comment on the issue of homosexual priests. Adolfo Salomón, who has worked in the local television station Colour Vision for eight years, says he was dismissed after Aquino sent a letter to his bosses complaining about the "insolent" question. Fellow broadcasting journalists have described Salomón's firing as a "major blow" to the country's free press. (Via Dominican Today)
