CNN Fires Producer Over Personal Blog

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the team-players-who-realize-their-team-sucks dept.

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.'"

    How do we know this isn't the guy who's been making CNN cover britney instead of actual news huh? Cause I'm all for firing whoever that dude is.

    So if your employer wrote down in a policy that employees were not allowed to breathe...

    The contest for Worst Analogy For This Story would seem to be between you and "However on the surface it does strike me as being awfully similar to a garbage man who works for a private waste management company, volunteering his time on saturdays on the Adopt-A-Highway program, cleaning up trash."

    We'll see if Bad Analogy Guy shows up to contest this one.

    In any case, after reading that blog post, I'm never, ever watching one second of CNN again.. Sure, you talk big. But let's just see where you turn next time you want an update on Paris Hilton's brother's DUI, Britney Spears's sister's pregnancy, Britney's zany exploits and custody issues, or Lindsay Lohan's latest wreck (car or box-office - your pick)?

    Sorry, but we can't help it if reality has a liberal bias.

    I feel like a traitor to mankind just for being able to list four celebrity "news" shows by name. I understand - I think I need an extra shower tonight in order to cleanse myself of the feeling I got after realizing that I could name off four semi-current celebrity "news" stories...
