Michelle Malkin points to an interesting find by some blogs and Free Republic posters (not sure of the original source just yet) about some images of President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush on the CNN / Netscape website that had filenames that are, irrelevant of your political leaning, inexcusable to have on a news organization website. The fact that some employees may have gone out on their own to do this does nothing but cause harm to CNN’s brand and viewer opinion of their ethics.
At this time, at least one of the images that have been found have had a name change - but not all. This one is still up.
[update: 12pm] This file is now gone, too.
I have reached out to Time Warner Corporate Communications today, but have not yet received a response.
[update: 1:55pm] Drudge leads us to Tabloid Column, who has screenshots of the CNN site.
[update: 11/5 1:38pm] Steve Rubel posts a link to a Register article on the subject, where CNN has stated that it was purely a Netscape issue, and was nothing placed on the CNN.com website. Also, the employee who named the photographs has apparently “been terminated.”
