Don't worry CNN, tomorrow is another day.

"Things have been horrible inside the Washington bureau," another staffer said. "On Friday, which was everyone's last day, people were crying all over the bureau, but managers hid in offices and didn't go to any of the goodbye office parties."

"Many employees who are left are terrified of being let go," the staffer said. "The management in the bureau is forcing most remaining producers to sign contracts, because they are worried even more people are going to leave the company, and the bureau can't run with fewer people than are staffed now. So as a huge group has been let go, [others] are getting promotions and huge raises, which has made the last month horrible between the haves and have nots."

If they were more even-handed they would have a bigger audience. They are leftists, they would rather go out of business than be fair.

Those employees that remain should be thankful they have a job at all. If it wasn't for talk radio sending viewers there every day they'd have no viewers whatsoever.

Well, I guess there will always be airport terminals and nursing homes.

Say, CNN employees, since you know your days are limited anyway, why don't you pipe up during a production meeting and suggest CNN start covering Conservatives and conservatism a little more objectively.

Just an idea. I know the saying is free advice is worth what you pay for it but, in this case, what do you have to lose? Besides your job, I mean. But, like I said, it's just a matter of time anyway.

It must be a real p!$$er when you consistently stick your fingers into the eyes of American viewers and your ratings tank more aggressively than Ted Kennedy on a bender.

Jake Tapper should have stayed at ABC News. The rest of the CNN Washington bureau is worthless as spit.

Can anyone spot the inherent contradiction in the writing above?

anyone?!

But if CNN goes tits-up, what will people in waiting rooms and airports do for entertainment?

Hey, maybe if CNN reported news instead of propaganda ... Naaa. They obviously would rather go bankrupt.

Okay, this is a laugh riot and oh so predictable!

Where to begin?

This “news outlet” (laughable, IMO) has become a propaganda outlet at this point in time and the end result was all too predictable from the standpoint of an educated audience.

What did the morons expect? They seem to believe that the nonsense they spew on a regular basis would be be believed as absolute truth to the “unwashed masses” and their positions would be inviolate! Stunning arrogance to say the least, but wholly predictable when you take into account that the audience they were pandering to were not nearly as ignorant or gullible as they believed.

The arrogant bastards that both staff and administer CNN are getting their just rewards, IMO. They seemed to believe, from my point of view, that their “product” was not to be questioned and was to be absorbed by the “little people” as factual and beyond reproach and that their cozy little jobs were going to be a lifelong occupation.

The mindset of these people are truly despicable and wholly predictable. They are getting a very necessary dose of reality and perhaps they will end up being useful servants of society someday, but I wouldn’t personally hold my breath.

OK, we know how they felt about the election results, but how do they feel about the layoffs?
