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.

Jake Tapper should have stayed at ABC News. The rest of the CNN Washington bureau is worthless as spit.

"Many employees who are left are terrified of being let go," the staffer said. "The management in the bureau is forcing most remaining producers to sign contracts, because they are worried even more people are going to leave the company, and the bureau can't run with fewer people than are staffed now." Can anyone spot the inherent contradiction in the writing above?
anyone?!

But if CNN goes tits-up, what will people in waiting rooms and airports do for entertainment?

Okay, this is a laugh riot and oh so predictable!
Where to begin?
This “news outlet” (laughable, IMO) has become a propaganda outlet at this point in time and the end result was all too predictable from the standpoint of an educated audience.
What did the morons expect? They seem to believe that the nonsense they spew on a regular basis would be be believed as absolute truth to the “unwashed masses” and their positions would be inviolate! Stunning arrogance to say the least, but wholly predictable when you take into account that the audience they were pandering to were not nearly as ignorant or gullible as they believed.
The arrogant bastards that both staff and administer CNN are getting their just rewards, IMO. They seemed to believe, from my point of view, that their “product” was not to be questioned and was to be absorbed by the “little people” as factual and beyond reproach and that their cozy little jobs were going to be a lifelong occupation.
The mindset of these people are truly despicable and wholly predictable. They are getting a very necessary dose of reality and perhaps they will end up being useful servants of society someday, but I wouldn’t personally hold my breath.

"But if CNN goes tits-up, what will people in waiting rooms and airports do for entertainment?" People in waiting rooms can count the number of gum wads stuck under the seats, and people at airports can memorize plane tail numbers.
