CNN Fires Producer Over Personal Blog

dangerz writes "CNN has fired one of its producers because of his personal blog. Chez Paziena, the ex-producer, has stated that he started the blog 'mostly to pass the time, hone my writing skills, resurrect my voice a little, and keep my mind sharp following the [brain tumor] surgery.' After a few months, CNN found out about it and ended up letting him go because his 'name was "attached to some, uh, 'opinionated' blog posts" circulating around the internet.'"

We better present it in a 'balanced' fashion by I don't know pretending that the right isn't for military expansion.

"The right" has little in common with the current administration. I'm not sure why you're conflating the two groups, other than you commonly hear them lumped together in campus speech.
