    At least CNN had the backbone to sack him, not a CNN fan but I've said it before occasional news unlike MSNBC and ABC.

    Makes a change from Twittercide that's so popular at the moment.

    CNN sucks and still employs a whole host of ugly and racist activists, in my opinion. There ratings will continue to fall. They need to clean house and get away from their Fake News mantra.

    Will always be Clinton News Network to me but I can give a nod when they accidentally create some news in between the propaganda ;)

    Wow, it must have been really bad if CNN fired someone. Acosta assaulted a woman on TV and didn’t get fired. I guess Jews rank above women there.

    I never could stomach this racist, but why is he speaking at the UN, what makes him so special?

    CNN = MSM = Fake News

    "In the story, Cohen was reported to have claimed he had personally witnessed Donald Trump Jr. informing then-candidate Trump about the June 2016 meeting. Such a claim from Cohen would directly contradict Trump’s statements about his knowledge of the meeting, where Russians were set to offer dirt on Hillary Clinton.

    CNN’s July 26 story has come under fresh scrutiny in recent days after Davis acknowledged he had served as an anonymous source for multiple news outlets who were seeking to confirm the CNN article in the hours after it published. Davis has backed away from the story in recent days, telling the Washington Post that he is not certain if the claim is accurate, and that he could not independently corroborate it."
    BUZZFEED, Lanny Davis Says He Was A Source For CNN’s Trump Tower Story,
    Davis, Michael Cohen’s lawyer and spokesperson, said he also regrets lying about his involvement in the story on CNN last week., By Steven Perlberg,

    Why would there need to be a mention of "out of here?"

    I hate to disagree with you because we agree on so much. I don't think CNN had any backbone in firing him. He was only doing what CNN does. CNN folded under the pressure. Something in the culture at CNN made him think this was totally acceptable. CNN didn't set any boundaries. He just pushed their narrative past the boundaries that most people will accept. CNN is doing damage control.

    Yes, to be fair to CNN, they do take swift action when an employee does the wrong thing.

    Isn't getting caught required? Well how could CNN have fired Donna Brazile and Marc Lamont Hill before they did the wrong thing?

    The culture exists that so many do so much wrong. Cuomo said that CNN had done as much as they could for Clinton and it was on her to win now. That was before the Brazille debacle. CNN is their own worst enemy. It can only quack so long before someone finally calls it a duck.

    "CHRIS CUOMO: It's a problem because she's doing what they call in politics "freezing pockets," because the donors are giving her money thinking she's going to run, that means they're not going to have available money for other candidates if she doesn't. And I don't think she's going to give it to them. We couldn't help her any more than we have, she's got just a free ride so far from the media, we're the biggest ones promoting her campaign, so it had better happen."

    This is a shocking thing for him to say, but I wouldn't call it a sackable offense.

    It goes to the culture of CNN. I don't care who they fire or hire. I don't watch them.

    If CNN DIDN'T fire Brazile and Lamont, I would've been much LESS surprised. Surely you would've too.

    Then why aren't the other millions of black people in the world speaking at the UN. You know, if being black is all it takes?

    It's a good network but I like watching Chris Hayes. He's smart, empathetic and cute. Of course, Don Lemon has all of those qualities, as well.
