News Editor Ian Bishop Joins Russell Crowe and Naomi Campbell In Esteemed Phone Thrower Club

'In the latest turmoil to rock the Daily News newsroom, Ian Bishop, a top political editor, has been suspended for two weeks after tossing a telephone at another editor's office, shattering a glass wall. … The incident happened Saturday morning, when Bishop apparently became irate with someone he was speaking with on the phone and tossed the phone in the direction of the office of Stuart Marques, the paper's managing editor of news. … "Nobody was hurt, but people in the newsroom at the time were a little shocked and a little scared by his behavior," said one source. People familiar with the matter said that Bishop, the paper's deputy managing editor for politics, apologized to staffers by the end of the day. By Sunday, the brass handed him a suspension.' [NYP]
