Today, New York Magazine‘s Daily Intel blog caught up with Jonathan Klein, who was removed from his position as CNN’s president this week. Gabriel Sherman writes Klein’s version of how he heard the bad news:

Latino activist Roberto Lovato co-founded Basta Dobbs, the most notorious of the Latino grassroots organizations that angrily called for the firing of CNN’s controversial anchor. With his abrupt resignation last week, Lovato and Latinos were celebrating — and taking some of the credit. To him, it’s an example of Latino clout in this country — and a voice CNN had no choice but to listen to. Mediaite’s Jose Simian spoke with Lovato exclusively about what he called their “victory.”
