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.

I’m sure a sternly worded “Now, Mr. Producer...” did the trick (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more)
imagine if a repub said that about hiilary’s plane
“Disciplined” - told to check for open mikes before saying things like that....
Apology not accepted, you @ssh*les! You’re only sorry that you got caught on tape.
“Discipline” can mean anything and nothing. I don’t believe anyone was disciplined in any meaningful way.

I would feel sorry for the tree, but that is as far as it would go.
Bump to save thanks
Despicable....
Right now, I like the idea of marketing "Media Doormats". They'd be a great addition for the outhouse.
