Insignificant former CNN producer fights the power.

Media: While bringing truth to power against the evil MSM and Media companies who insult his liberal way of thinking. The gist is Chez Pazienza former producer( of many producers) on American Morning got fired because he was writing a blog that is not allowed under CNN employee policy. Now he is all fired up and ready to take CNN down with the tapping of keystrokes. TvNewser has the summary of the lengthy and really myopic post.

Fired CNN producer Chez Pazienza is firing back on his own blog and on Huffington Post. TVNewser first reported last week about the American Morning producer who was fired after his blogging was discovered. In a lengthy blog post jointly published on Huffington Post and Pazienza's personal blog last night, he details his entire experience at CNN and the circumstances which led to his firing. Pazienza's post touches on various aspects of his time at CNN. He describes newsroom meetings, corporate self-evaluations and the general mood at American Morning. He also called out, by name, some of the big names of his network. "I watched qualified, passionate people worked nearly to death while mindless talking heads were coddled," he wrote. "I listened to Lou Dobbs play the loud-mouthed fascist demagogue, Nancy Grace fake ratings-baiting indignation, and Glenn Beck essentially do nightly stand-up." One thing that is clear by the end of the post is that Pazienza doesn't seem to be rushing back to television. "The mainstream media doesn't believe that new media can embarrass them, hurt them or generally hold them accountable in any way, and they've never been more wrong," he writes. "I'm suddenly in a position to do all three, and I know now that this is what I've been working toward the last few years of my career."

The guy has an ego a mile long.

I'm dead sure though that my superiors never concerned themselves with my ability or inability to remain objective at work, given my strong opinions; they worried only about an appearance of bias (specifically, a liberal bias), and apparently they worried about it more than any potential fallout from firing a popular blogger with an audience that was already large and was sure to grow much larger when news of his firing put him in the national spotlight. It's probably right about now that I should make something perfectly clear: I'm not naive -- I always understood that CNN, like any big company, might be apt to fire whoever it damn well pleases so long as the law remains intact at the end of the day. Should they have fired me though? Probably not, and only arrogant myopia would make them think otherwise.

I listened to Lou Dobbs play the loud-mouthed fascist demagogue, Nancy Grace fake ratings-baiting indignation, and Glenn Beck essentially do nightly stand-up -- and that's not even taking into account the 24/7 Vaudeville act over at Fox News. I watched The Daily Show laugh not at our mistakes but at our intentional absurdity. I mentioned calling Jacki Schechner -- so what did she tell me? "Think about how frustrated and disillusioned most of the American Morning staff is." Not simply frustrated and disillusioned, but outright miserable. And then she reminded me that in the past year-and-a-half, nearly 20 mid to high-level people have left American Morning; many of them quit with no other job to go to -- they just wanted out of the business. That speaks goddamned volumes, not simply about the show but about the state of the entire profession. CNN fired me, and did it without even a thought to the power that I might wield as an average person with a brain, a computer, and an audience. The mainstream media doesn't believe that new media can embarrass them, hurt them or generally hold them accountable in any way, and they've never been more wrong. I'm suddenly in a position to do all three, and I know now that this is what I've been working toward the last few years of my career. Awhile back I was watching a great documentary on the birth of the punk scene, it closed with former Black Flag frontman and current TV host Henry Rollins saying these words: "All it takes is one person to stand up and say 'fuck this.'" I truly hope so, because I'm finally doing just that. And I should've done it a long time ago.

Now you have four clues to the classic truth to power characteristics in his post. He cites Jon Stewart, garbages Fox News, ends with the Henry Rollins who is fighting the power every day and sees himself as being freed from the chains of corporate America to bring you the reader the wisdom of his words. He got fired because he didn't follow the employee handbook and now thinks of himself as a martyr for the cause. In the words of a great man, " A man has got to know his limitations."
