Fired for stating the obvious

The "nobody must be upset" gospel seems to have spread spread to Australia
"The editor of a regional newspaper has been stood down after allegedly posting insensitive comments about the killing of a young policeman on his Facebook page.

Mr Nicholls is alleged to have written on his personal page that the killing of Constable Will Crews, who was born and bred in Glen Innes, would boost circulation of the paper. He is also alleged to have suggested the Glen Innes Examiner would "make the most" of the tragedy in which the 26-year-old officer was shot dead during a drug raid in southwestern Sydney on Wednesday evening.

The ultimate case of trial by media. Nothing has been substantiated but he has been sacked. What a bunch of pricks.
Suspend him and investigate. Do what the media used to be good at before it got lazy.
