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.'"

    A young, white, white collar worker was fired? Because he did something to piss off his employers?

    When will the madness stop??!
