Salomon gets apology

[NewsWhore]

Journalist Adolfo Salomon was received at the Presidential Palace by Presidential Press Secretary Rafael Nunez yesterday. Nunez, speaking on behalf of the President, the head of the Armed Forces Ramon Antonio Aquino Garcia and the government, gave Salomon an apology for the recent controversy surrounding his dismissal. Salomon accepted Nunez's apology and said that all journalists should be able to ask questions without fear. He said that journalists shouldn't have to engage in self-censorship, and that they should be allowed to do their jobs ethically and truthfully. The scandal erupted last week when Salomon asked Cardinal Nicolas Lopez Rodriguez for his opinion on homosexuals in the military. The Cardinal responded, but seemed annoyed at the question. Days later Salomon was fired from his post at Color Vision, and head of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Ramon Antonio Aquino Garcia admitted to sending a letter to Color Vision's owners reprimanding them for Salomon's question.
