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.

Management does the hiring and firing. When ratings crashed, management should have fired whole departments and started over with an emphasis on genuine balance and investigative fairness, and liberal Democrats be damned if they didn’t like the results. Ultimately, I blame tone deaf, or unconscionably ignorant, management.

They could turn conservative at any time and start making money. Just ride the wave. But no, they’d rather be team obama’s water boy.

Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth!

Management is part if the problem, along with the board of directors and all of upper management. Those who are now losing their cushy jobs were confident that those who hired them and guided their agenda were correct with their agenda and were more than happy to “report” as they were directed to, and more or less to the point, “report” as they were “hired” to.

This is a mindset and philosophy that is heading towards bankruptcy, IMO.

Some people live in dirty, cluttered, stench filled trailer parks. They get used to it. CNN is the news equivalent of those trailer parks.

No worry. They can easily get numerous job offers in the great Obama economy they’ve been touting.

“people were crying all over the bureau,”

Does this mean they have to buy ObamaCare from their own pocket books?

The elistist left no longer want to throw bad money after bad ideas and bad POTUS and bad Democrats, except possibly Elizabeth Warren.

Money IS the mother’s milk of politics.

If they’d just read the DesMoines Register Pollster, they could have saved themselves a few million.

They just need to hope for some of the change they pushed on us. Couldn’t be simpler. It saved the country, fixed the economy and caused the seas to lower.

Certainly it can fix CNN.
