On Friday morning, “Special Snowflake” Soledad O’Brien was joined by fellow “too ethnic” cleansing victim Roland Martin for her final “Starting Point” on CNN.

What I caught the end…. @soledad_obrien is leaving CNN?! Are they getting rid of all the African American Anchors?

Hmm … maybe Martin should have spoken up when first they came for Soledad.
The hilarious highlight of Soledad’s goodbye came when she told viewers, “If I’ve learned anything over the last year, it’s that facts matter.”
“If I’ve learned anything over the last year, it’s that facts matter,” @soledad_obrien says on her tenure at @startingptcnn

And she said it with a straight face! Video here:
Did the oh-so-unbiased “real journalist” come up with that one on her own? Or did she read it from a liberal blog or Wikipedia? We’re doubtful she’s learned that lesson, though her adventures in bias gave her ample opportunity.
The deluded are all torn up over O’Brien’s departure.
@soledad_obrienenjoyed watching you on a daily basis. Good luck in your future projects. We need more journalist of your caliber. Miss you

Will miss @soledad_obrien on Starting Point & her knack for making guests actually answer the question & not throw out spin.

Breitbart.com’s John Nolte (and Twitchy!) will miss O’Brien for another reason.
Soledad’s final minutes on CNN coming up! Picture me sitting here in party hat holding party poppers. Tho I will miss the material.
— John Nolte(@NolteNC) March 29, 2013
So long, Special Snowflake!
Bye, Soledad! I sincerely wish you a long, healthy and happy life nowhere near the national debate.
— John Nolte(@NolteNC) March 29, 2013
And with Soledad’s goodbye, media integrity increases about the size of a raindrop.
