AP explains why it fired Emily Wilder for pro-Palestinian tweets

The Associated Press' managing editor is speaking out after a firestorm that followed the ousting of former AP journalist Emily Wilder.

Wilder was fired last week after serving just two weeks on the job. The AP said a series of Wilder's pro-Palestinian tweets violated its social media policy, although the AP has not said which tweets violated that policy. "Emily Wilder was let go because she had a series of social media posts that showed a clear bias toward one side and against another in one of the most divisive and difficult stories we cover," said Brian Carovillano, the AP's managing editor, on CNN's "Reliable Sources" Sunday. "It was a difficult decision; it was not an easy decision, and it was not a personal decision, and we wish her all the best."
