The network says the producer had been "disciplined."
CNN has apologized to Donald Trump after a producer was caught on camera joking with reporter Suzanne Malveaux about the president-elect's plane crashing.
The remark was made before a live shot on Thursday.
The unidentified producer, in footage obtained and posted on YouTube by Scott Jones of FTV Live, can be heard saying "That means his planes crashed. No, I'm kidding."
CNN released a statement Friday saying the producer had been "disciplined."
An unfortunate and inappropriate remark was made by one of our producers off camera yesterday," CNN said in its statement. "We have apologized to the Trump transition team, and the producer has been disciplined.
Trump has been a huge critic of the network essentially since he announced his bid for president, saying it has covered him unfairly. Even this week, he was criticizing the network through Twitter.

Removing their press credentials where they cannot cover the WH, might be the move to finish them off. We need to find a way to Freep all local Airports and get them off the TVs.
These people are really sick.
Publish video apologies from the two individuals employed by this alt-left CNN.
Cut the (RUMORED) funding of CNN via the State Departments Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP).

But have they apologized to the American people who were deeply offended or terrified when they heard that awful “joke”?
If a tree fell on a CNN producer in the woods, would anyone see it? Would anyone care?
You can’t apologize for a wish
Like Hillary. CNN has a pubic and a private position
CLINTON News Network.
No bias here. /s
FUCNN...purveyors of fake news.
One of the major lessons I learned in grade school is,
if your going to do it make sure you won’t get caught.
They must have already disciplined the reporter who was on camera...with an ugly stick.
Their “apologizing” mainly means they got caught. Losers.
IF it's "alt-right" then it should be "Control-Left!"
Not original, I got that a couple days ago on FR
Hey CNN (Communist News Network), you are the last to know this. Your lying and treasonous days are over. Close up shop while you still have some dignity left.
Oops to late...
BTW: Take all you political correctness with you.
BTW2: Hate speech does not exist. There is only free speech and tyranny. No in between.
Nicely put...
If this had been about Obama on Fox the left with be screaming at the tops of their lungs from every rooftop.
Disgusting behavior from the Jurassic Media.
Here today in a post CNN gets government money.maybe some one can find the post or post response I got to go.
Almost all of the corporate media are in financial trouble, except CNN!
Why is CNN, Certainly Not News,in financial trouble?
CNN receives programming reimbursement from the U.S. State Department via The Bureau of International Information Programs; the same State Department program that pays Facebook for content. CNN is not as reliant on ad revenue because they get tens of millions from the U.S. State Department.
CNN knows that President Trump will stop this funding when he is president.
We’d already know the producer’s shoe size by now if this had been about Barry’s plane.
