“Sad CNN Suits Flee To Tropics”

That’s the headline on Page Six this morning, following up on this story.

Quoting the item: “A CNN mouthpiece wouldn’t comment to Page Six on the trip, how much it cost or any unrest among the troops, instead crowing: ‘We’re coming off a phenomenally successful year, both in terms of ratings and profit growth, and senior management is hatching plans for continued success.’”

> Also: “The Bahamas trip is really rubbing people the wrong way at CNN,” a tipster says. “Apparently the execs knew it looked bad, which is why is was kept secret. They didn’t even have the guts to talk about it. Some, whose schedules are public, just had those days listed as ‘meeting.’ Nothing like finding out about it from the blogs.”
