CNN Fires Switch Board Employee Who Berated Callers!!
Daily Pundit ^

Posted on 11/24/2005 7:22:54 PM PST by Minus_The_Bear

The following is an update from Daily Pundit who has chronicled the UNBELIEVABLE behavior of CNN employees in the wake of the X/Cheney incident. A switch board operator who berated callers to CNN telling them "Bush and Cheney should stop lying" and that "Putting the X over Cheney's face was freedom of speach" has been fired by CNN. This has been confirmed! Visit this link to hear the tape.

I just got off the phone with Laurie Goldberg, Senior Vice President for Public Relations with CNN. Her statement confirms the authenticity of the tape recording and reveals the actions CNN took after learning of the incident:

"A Turner switchboard operator was fired today after we were alerted to a conversation the operator had with a caller in which the operator lost his temper and expressed his personal views -- behavior that was totally inappropriate. His comments did not reflect the views of CNN. We are reaching out to the caller and expressing our deep regret to her and apologizing that she did not get the courtesy entitled to her. "

Well one thing for sure, i', no DU mommas boy
circle jerker. I am a Bush supporter, for the
better part, and i am a strong advocate for
moving the US to much energy independance
as efficaciously as it can be acheived.
I am a firm believer in a culture of life,
and not the DemoGenerate Socialist perverted
cukture of death and abnegation of any
personal and socal mores, for the sake of
uniform devolution and suffering.

There....feel better now?

Besides, one easy way to know i'm no Dim, is
the fact that i have a sense of humor...The Dims
have all seemed to have *lost* theirs some time ago...

:-^)

The operator would not have had those opinions had there not been an workplace environment conducive to them. They created the environment and now are 'standing by' their employees for reflecting it. I love it when liberals eat their own.

And yet she is "Dashing"?

Perhaps you should re-read the relevant posts.
I was not the initiator of our "banter". I was
maligned & accused for being of opinions that
Dasher disagrees with.

Since when has FR become a bastion of lock step
conformity, instead of free speech?

You sir are an elitist.

Please tell me how being a pilot, even an
accomplished pilot, lends greater value to
her opinions in the market place, when the
discussion is not related to barrel rolls
and other feats of barnstorming?

And in what way does disagreeing with her
opinion on topics other than aeronautics,
automatically designate me an "idiot"?

What if I were to tell you my day job was in
astrophysics? Would you then automatically take
*my* side in matters of politics & the news media
over hers, and call the lady an "idiot"?

I'm a chinese jet pilot and I also install screen doors on battle ships. I can tell you the CNN employee who decided to be verbally abusive, votes democrat and by the inflection in his voice is black.

Umm... okay...

I prefer Rush's viewpoint:

Based on overwhelming historical evidence, one should assume Liberals are guilty until proven innocent.
