Chez Pazienza is the latest aufing under Jon Klein's regime at CNN. Usually you're used to seeing women over the age of 30 being let go at that network, but this time we've got a man who's not even on-air talent!
Pazienza, a producer at American Morning, was dismissed without severance for blogging on his personal site. The network has a policy that requires staffers to get clearance for anything they post online; Pazienza didn't get that clearance.
So just what questionable material was he posting that caught the unwavering eye of CNN brass? For saying things that we all know to be true, like: "Pat O'Brien is the single most ridiculous human being currently sucking down oxygen."
That Oprah post referenced in the headline? It's here.

Or, was the CNN producer fired for defending suspended MSNBC reporter David Schuster on Feb 10?
That was his blog on the Huffington Post that day.
Seems more like the smoking gun than making fun of Oprah. (Nobody cares if you make fun of Oprah. 100,000 screaming, menopausal Soccer Moms will tear the offender to shreds if anyone dares dis Oprah.)
