This morning, FTVLive posted an EXCLUSIVE video of a CNN crew joking about President Donald Trump's plane crashing.

FTVLive has obtained video of CNN's Suzanne Malveauxjoke before her live hit on CNN. The crew was waiting on Trump's appearance at the press conference and waiting for his plane to land.

The CNN producer joked about Trump's plane crashing.

CNN reacting to the FTVLive video said in statement that the Producer would be “disciplined.”

“An unfortunate and inappropriate remark was made by one of our producers off camera yesterday,” CNN said. “We have apologized to the Trump transition team, and the Producer has been disciplined.”

They have not said what the "discipline" was.

You can watch the video here.

Can you imagine the outrage there would be throughout the MSM, had this been remarks made by say, FoxNews personnel, about a president-elect HRC?

The only appropriate “discipline” here, cnn, would be termination

But I see you just couldn’t bring yourself to do it, huh?

The producer probably got a promotion and bonus.

Anything short of dismissal and blacklisting of this “producer” is unacceptable.

Imagine the outrage if something similar had been said about Obama.

Who are CNN’s advertisers? We need to go after them for supporting these cretins.

The only appropriate discipline action is disbandment of CNN.

The channel is a massive joke, and disciplining a producer doesn’t prove squat.

That he would say such a thing presumes a sympathetic audience. That is the real issue and cannot be apologized away. Screw CNN.

I don’t want her fired. I want her out there front and center as a reminder how bias CNN is. While it may only be one producer, it is the cultural bias of the network that allowed her to say what she said without thinking that it may be the wrong thing to say.

I doubt the discipline was severe since the "crime," in CNN's eyes, wasn't what he said, it's that he let it be recorded.

[[They have not said what the “discipline” was. ]]

The boss man issued the ‘offender’ a flash of a stink eye- followed quickly by a wink and a nod, and a slap on the back and likely a promotion to management position

I hate CNN but this was a joke. We do it all the time. Surely we are not as thin skinned and correct as the libtards. I am tired of criticism of what anybody says in jest or off the record. Get a grip~!!

Probably got a healthy raise!

probably a lot closer to reality than we would like

the producer will have to pay waiter’s tip on his/her dinner tonight

his/her salary will be 5% higher on his/her next paycheck

I second that one. I want to see how can I go without paying for CNN at the satellite company. My is Direct TV I hope congress can pass a legislation that you can drop a channel that you do not want to see out of your cable or satellite company. CNN WILL BE OUT OF BUSINESS IMMEDIATELY!!!
