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.

Let them keep saying stupid things. I just proves Trump’s point.
Seeing as al jhazeera is THE news network at the white mosque, I wonder what kind of additional “revenue” loss they will experience beginning next month.
I am sure their pedo ring has “locker room” talk about over taking his grandkids
quote “and the producer has been disciplined”
weeks paid vacation?
January will start the losses, and in February, their losses will be huge.
Sadly, this means that nobody from CNN can be on AF1 due to potential security risks.
We are all familiar with signs at the airports, and how you are NOT supposed to even joke about this stuff...
Perhaps CNN can follow the President via bus, train, taxi?
Not acceptable without details of the “discipline” and corrective actions to prevent recurrence of this horrible disrespect
Freedom of speech does not mean wishing death to all aboard a president’s aircraft
No press credentials for CNN at the Trump WH
No press credential for Suzanne Malveaux who failed as a professional to take control
If he learns about it - and IF he doesn't make the Mittster Secretary of State!
Another victory in The Great Meme War against the liberal cucks.

This means his resume has been enhanced.
Still have the Secret Service pay them a visit
Meaning: We're sorry that we were caught.
We're sorry your plane didn't actually crash.
We're sorry...
(We are not sorry about the actual joke)
Just yank them off the WH press corp for awhile ... let them kick and scream on TV while they explain to the American people why Trump did it. This is one story that they can’t just tell one side of it.
That’s the only way that more people will see what they are.
CNN, this kind of crap goes on at your network because you tolerate it. And you tolerate it by hiring only people from the left side of the political spectrum.
I would love to watch all the Trump talking heads on CNN telling this story over and over again.....compare them to Al Jazeera...compare them to a third world country.
Apology NOT enough. These people should be suspended and/or fired. Otherwise, CNN not serious about it.
Disciplined?
I would suspect that had this happened on Fox, he’d be fired on the spot.
