Offending anchor Carol Costello apologized and continues her on air gig.
Contrasted to the network's much harsher treatment of its black staffers for doing much less.
- In February of 2012, after Roland Martin tweeted perfectly innocent jokes that could only offend GLAAD, the black on-air contributor was suspended by CNN. Martin didn't even make his jokes on the air. A year later, CNN chose not to renew Martin's contract.
- During the 2012 presidential campaign, Van Jones, also a black on-air contributor, called Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney a "douche." Later that same day, Jones sheepishly walked out under the studio lights to do something the Costello has not done: publicly apologize for his comments.
- Just a few months ago, Costello herself went on the CNN air to criticize and call for the suspension of ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, for comments the black anchor made, ironically, about a domestic assault.
- Costello declared Smith's on-air apology (something she hasn't done) insufficient. You can watch the CNN video here.
