CNN Producer Tells Audience Rove Talking Points are "Bull*%!#"

[dampier]

Last weekend while reporting on Karl Rove's claim that he learned the identity of Plame from a reporter and not the other way around, an open mike (always a troublesome thing) allowed CNN's audience to get an assessment of that position from a female CNN producer, who was clearly heard unknowingly telling viewers:

"That's bull*%!#."

What's the date and time of the obscenity hearing at The FCC?

This should be good for at least a half-mil fine! But, of
course, only if any broadcast station carrying CNN was
up with it at the time.

Are there any broadcast stations carrying CNN on a 24/7 basis? There might still be a Headline News LP or two out there, but I don't think any run the main channel.

I heard the clip, and even when listening for the producer I could barely hear her
