ANOTHER UPDATE: You can see a more complete statement on CNN's homepage -- click the "Netscape responsible for Bush photo insult" link at the top right. But since that's a java box and can't be directly linked, and probably won't be archived anywhere, I'm going to reproduce the full thing in the "extended entry" area below. Hit "read more" to read it. Read More »

Netscape responsible for Bush photo insult
Disparaging image tags used to identify photos of President and Mrs. Bush currently circulating on the Internet were not created, disseminated or posted by CNN at any time, as is alleged. They were done by a junior-level employee of Netscape and posted on Netscape.com. CNN had no knowledge of this until it surfaced on other Web sites.
Netscape, which corrected the situation when it was discovered, has released a statement apologizing for the "inappropriate and disparaging terms" that were used in the image tags -- and saying that the company has terminated the employee.
So there you are.

Jesus' land knows no borders and can even be found where He is "not welcomed" and is supressed by the sword.

I don't see laughing at winning John Edwards' vacated seat in the Senate as his wife checks in for cancer treatment to be disrespectful of her condition.
Edwards would have been out of work regardless of who won his seat since he lost his bid for the White House.
It IS something else to boast about. He did not carry his own state AND lost a Democrat legacy.

"And, yes, it does raise the question: If they're willing to do something this petty and spiteful where they think no one will notice, what other things are they doing where they think no one will notice?"

....the company has terminated the employee. Yeah, for our public consumption. This is Time-Warner. He has actually probably been promoted.

I bet that employee was a temp, so no really big statement by netscape. They should disband the company and disappear into oblivion.
