CNN hit back on Friday after Fox News published a piece mocking one of their reporters, Oliver Darcy, over past statements he made that were critical of the cable news channel before he was hired there.
“Oliver was critical of CNN before, just as he is now. CNN is a place where opinions and ideas are valued. And we encourage staff to share their thoughts about the organization — both positive and critical,” CNN said in a statement obtained by TheWrap. “While this might seem like an exotic concept to you, we’d headline it ‘Media Reporter Does Job.’ This is a nothing story.”
