CNN is evaluating Kathy Griffins role in its annual New Years Eve coverage following the comic's controversial photo shoot in which she posed with a decapitated, bloody head resembling President Trump.
We found what she did disgusting and offensive, CNN said in a statement Tuesday. We are pleased to see she has apologized and asked that the photos be taken down. We are evaluating our New Years Eve coverage and have made no decisions at this point."
Griffin earlier Tuesday apologized for the photo, noting that she had crossed a line.
I sincerely apologize, she said in a 31-second video posted on Twitter. Im a comic. I cross the line. I move the line and then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is way too disturbing. I understand how it offends people, Griffin added. It wasnt funny. I get it. Ive made a lot of mistakes in my career, Ill continue.
Griffin also asked for forgiveness in the vide, promising to take the image down. The photo, however, had already sparked debate on social media and caused "Kathy Griffin" to trend on Twitter.
Griffin has co-hosted CNNs New Years Eve Live broadcast every January since 2007 when she joined network anchor Anderson Cooper.
Cooper tweeted earlier in the evening that he was "appalled" by the photo.

I’d forgotten about that, but you’re right.
FAKE APOLOGY!
Doubt they would do the same if a conservative comic like Sam Kinison (RIP) would have done the same thing to Obama’s head, or Hillary’s head.
Remember the large naked papier mache artwork of both candidates? Left, outraged at Hillary’s image. No problem with Donald’s image.
These people are socialists and need purging. It is coming down to them or us. The breaking point is close and the muslim and black reparation bs / no whites crap is going to push it over the edge. Just be ready. Don’t get caught in the middle of something unable to defend yourself and get the heck out.
Leftists are always apologetic when they get caught in a criminal act or when public opinion turns against them.
When they say they are sorry it means they are sorry for themselves that things didn’t work out as they planned.
The fact that CNN did not immediately dissociate from her completely shows that they have no real problem with the image, they are just waiting to see if it will all blow over and allow them to continue on their merry way.
Any organization worth spit would immediately and irrevocably separate from this person. Obviously CNN is not even worth spit.
Ginger/Vag privilege.
Don’t forget that added factor. She will cry and everyone will forgive her. Men can’t get away with it like women can.
CNN encourages hatred of traditional Americans...their ‘great concern’ is probably as phony as they are...
That's quite a heavy handed adjective there. I wonder what adjective they would use if Obama's severed head was held by say, Comedian Dennis Miller?
But he wasn't appaled when she munched on his groin on live TV New Years Eve 2013.

yup, that needs to be brought up everywhere, liberals were determined to run a RODEO CLOWN out of work forever AND subject him to a DOJ investigation, simply over a harmless mask.
Much more should be done to Kathy Griffin for an infinitely worse deed (and a mask on a rodeo clown was no misdeed at all, except in the demented eyes of libturds).
“We found what she did disgusting and offensive, CNN said in a statement Tuesday.
Liars.
L
Shark. Jumped. Call next in line.
"But then we lie for a living, don't we? But you can believe us now...sure you can..."
One HAS to presume that the Secret Service has a profound interest in this case?

“Sounds like they hope it will blow over”
Exactly, as they are talking about New Years Eve coverage.
Their selectivity about where to place their outrage is incredible.
I find THEM disgusting... this photo is also a terrible insult to anyone who’s had a family member beheaded by a fanatic. It’s cruel.
How can Americans voice their disapproval of Griffin and CNN? There must be a way to punish this cruelty.
Here the similarity ends. As of 2016 she has a net worth of $20 million...and I do not.
As a youngster she had serious eating disorders and has said "she had a compulsion to talk all the time."
She has been a radical-left activist most of her adult life, particularly in the gay rights and same-sex marriage movements.
She is partially blind in one eye...and has had multiple plastic surgeries including liposuction.
She's been divorced once, no children.....and has had open relationships with a steady procession of males since the divorce.
She is 5'3"...was raised Catholic, then fell away from the Church.....and morphed into a self-described "non-believer".
She says that the photo of her dangling a gory, mutilated, severed head of the President of the United States was just "a joke" that "went over the line".

Don’t waste your time on Zombie Media. Let AT&T know how you feel about the Time Warner properties, and consider switching to Verizon.
