There’s a lot of opinion that Haley Geftman-Gold's posting she "was not even sympathetic" to the victims of the Las Vegas massacre because "country music fans often are Republican," backs up the view that much MSM is left-wing and that their news and opinion broadcasting follows that direction all the way to becoming "fake news."  Was the firing for a personal posting on social media justified?
