CNN's Washington bureau is suffering from low morale and high anxiety in the wake of weeks of layoffs and buyouts — with one employee likening the place to the Redskins’ locker room.

In conversations with POLITICO, sources at the bureau spoke of tension in the office as several longtime staffers have been let go while others are being promoted and given raises. On Friday, during the most recent departures, "people were crying all over the bureau," one D.C. employee said.

They have a unique way of celebrating. The managers hide in their offices and won’t go to any going away parties. Maybe layoffs are contagious.

For now their health care consists of taking two aspirins, stay in bed in the morning because they are jobless, and don’t bother calling anyone.

I remember the scene in “Broadcast News” after a bunch of employees just got their pink slips, and the office manager asks one of the laid-off if there was anything he could for him.

“Well, you could die soon.”

Dr. Raoul was a wise man, and should be listed in the Free Republic hall of respected elders.

But they expressed concern that the executives working under Zucker lack the management skills needed to guide staff through the transition

You people at CNN are freakin clueless! Zucker couldn't save you because you haven't changed your biased communist lying obama-protecting ways!

You really do think the best example of low morale is in the Redskins locker room instead of in virtually every household in America.

Adios, CNN. We won't be missing anything.

FIRE

ARTHUR BROWN

Fire Lyrics

I am the god of hell fire and I bring you:

Fire
I'll take you to burn.
Fire
I'll take you to learn.
I'll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned

but all of it's going to burn.
And your mind
your tiny mind

you know you've really been so blind.
Now's your time burn your mind.
You're falling far too far behind.
Oh no
oh no
oh no
you gonna burn!
Fire
to destroy all you've done.
Fire
to end all you've become
.
I'll feel your burn!
You've been living like a little girl
in the middle of your little world.
and your mind
your tiny mind

you know you've really been so blind.
Nows your time burn your mind
you're falling far too far behind.

Oohhh
Fire
I'll take you to burn.
Fire
I'll take you to learn.
You gonna burn ... burn ... burn ...burn ... burn ... burn
Fire
I'll take you to burn.
Fire
I'll take you to learn.
Fire
I'll take you to bed

DISH made a decision based on economics. Cnn failed to prove that it was worthy of being a part of their the DISH network. There are better choices for DISH. If management at CNN had the common sense that DISH had, CNN would still be viable.
