CNN/Netscape employee's bias exposed - subtly, if clumsily

Wonder if there's gonna be a job opening at CNN/NetscapeNews tomorrow morning.

Here's the page: http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/election2004.jsp?feature=ne_election5

Screenshot, with my overlay of the image's "Properties", since the original likely will go away, or at least get changed, pretty soon:

Yup ... some folks just aren't taking this well at all.

Edited to remove my own spin from the topic title.

Takes inordinate partisanship to spin an individual's prank as a network's bias.

Of course it does. Just to be fair, I inserted the word "employee's" into the topic title

Actually, looks like it's someone on the netscape side, not CNN.

Betcha he gets fired.

Should it have said 'a**hole and his subservient bitch.jpeg'?

Probably your screenshot is a fake, why there are double quotes on "Properties"?

Now the picture is there: http://cdn-channels.netscape.com/cppops/features/n/ne_election5/i/georgelaura135.jpg

I saw it last night and it was in fact named that way.

The person who labeled the jpeg "asshole" should be terminated.

Not because I voted for Bush...but because the act has lost that agency even more integrity. It's unprofessional at least.
