CNN Employee On Tape: Cheney "X" Is "Freedom of Speech"
2005-11-24
CNN official position? Rogue call taker? Remote control by space aliens? Bill reports, you decide...

#5  I bet it won;t be long before they show the President speaking and they use the title "President and Accused War Criminal" and call that freedom of speech. But then they consider themselves in the mainstream. I like to consider them a very small tributary that often poisons the mainstream.

#4  The guy on the tape sounded like a politicized college student working the phones who had no idea about (a) what happened with the 'x' (b) how companies and the media work (c) how to keep his job.

He'd probably worked the phones for Moveon.org and CNN never put him through any kind of customer training. I suspect whatever company provides the phone screeners for CNN will be dumped over the public embarassment this has caused. I don't know if the x was intentional (I think that's likely) but attempts at damage control were totally blown by this phone clown.

#3  Every time I think CNN has hit a new low, they come up with another bigoted stunt. What next? CNN headquarters is moving to Berkley?

#2  To use the left's own PC standard, if you create an hostile atmosphere of hate and intolerance what do you expect?

You anticipate 'sensitivity' classes for staff? rotflmo.
