I noticed I'm just not phased after all the horror stories I went through.

Though Krystal Ball didn't say her name it was MJ Lee is the CNN reporter who "broke" the story on Bernie Sander apparently being a secret misogynist and disclosing it to Warren. Senator Warren of course confirmed this and MJ Lee stated this was confirmed by four other sources, none of whom of course were party to the conversation itself. MJ Lee also did an extremely softball and very reverential in depth interview with Elizabeth Warren and her husband a few months ago but MJ Lee getting this 'scoop' now was clearly just coincidental.
CNN's Sanders Hit Piece Doesn't Pass the Smell Test - FAIR
Election Focus 2020: The timing of this poorly sourced and poorly written story, appearing the day of a crucial candidates' debate and days before the start of the actual primary season on a network that has been hostile to or dismissive of Sanders for years, is a journalistic outrage.

You sure? Someone accidentally being a racist should lead to at least SOME attempt at maintaining good PR by sacking the reporter who thought they were the same person

This is BBC, at most they will issue apology, more likely is that they will just correct the mistake and pretend it didn't happen.

You guys see that broad on MSNBC. Who said "nigger" during a memorial for Kobe?
Yup.
To me it appeared that she called the LA Lakers the LA "niggers".
You see what her excuse was?

Mixing Lakers and kings together or some obvious nonesense.
Lakers and Knicks apparently. Her claim is that she said "nakers".

BBC to axe 450 newsroom jobs
The British Broadcasting Corporation on Wednesday said it will axe 450 newsroom jobs as part of plans to adapt "to changing audience needs" and meet its savings target. The job cuts come just a week after BBC boss Tony Hall said he would step down, and as the corporation grapples with a equal-pay

They grapple with equal-pay and are axing 450 jobs? My guess is that diversity will be the most important criteria for keeping the job.
Remember when the BBC investigated the pay gap and found out they were under paying their male employees? Fun times.
Seems interesting, have a link to that?
More men to get a pay rise at BBC after report finds ‘no bias’ against female staff
The BBC has opened itself to further backlash over its gender pay gap as more men than women will receive a pay rise after auditors found there is “no bias” against female presenters.
The BBC has opened itself to further backlash over its gender pay gap as more men than women will receive a pay rise after auditors found there is “no bias” against female presenters.
Accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) found that of the nearly 200 on-air staff needing a pay rise under a new “transparent” structure announced by the BBC in a bid to tackle widespread complaints of pay inequality, there were 98 male presenters and 90 female presenters.
It comes after BBC managers ordered a review of presenters’ pay in a bid to tackle widespread allegations of discrimination against women.
PwC subsequently found no “bias” against women, though the gender pay gap stands at 6.8 percent.
News of the pay boost scheme being more in favor of men than women caused an outcry on social media, given recent reports that put the overall pay gap at the BBC at 9.3 percent.
