“A Huge Loss To CNN”

Daryn Kagan, a CNN former employee on the sacking of Octavia Nasr

CNN’s bigger problem that CNN wants to deny reality. I, too, used to drink the Kool-Aid that it was a top journalism operation that reports without bias. Now that I’m outside the walls of traditional media, I know there is no such thing. Every single person who walks through those doors comes with their own life experience, values, point of view, and yes, unavoidable bias. That’s not a bad thing, unless, of course, you pretend it’s not true. CNN thinks by quickly pulling the trigger on one woman’s 140 character thought it shows the world, “We don’t think like that.”

One day, Octavia Nasr will look back to this moment and say: Thank god I got out of that place ..
