re: CBS Exec fired...

Now that she was immediately fired you start with the next talking point "yeah well they didnt have a choice". Yes they did, it's okay to say they did the right thing, a few downvotes wont kill you. She's a POS and now unemployed.

No one literally means "CBS could not have kept her employed" of course they could have. All "CBS had no choice" means is that to protect their own brand and image they HAD to fire and that's true. THey would have taken a beating if they hadn't of.

Now as to whether they only fired her to save their own image or if they did so because they were disgusted by her post, who knows. I try to see the good in people, so I REALLY hope those in charge at CBS read that and were like "wtf? someone fire this dumb bitch , you can't talk about fellow Americans like that" but I'm also practical so I assume the conversation was more like "WTF? We'll take a drubbing if we don't fire this bitch and denounce her post"
