New York – CNN correspondent Elise Labott has been suspended for two weeks after tweeting that the Statue of Liberty “bows head in anguish” following House passage of a bill making it tougher for refugees from Syria and Iraq to enter the United States.

A CNN executive who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to comment on personnel issues confirmed the suspension on Friday.
The Washington-based Labott covers U.S. foreign policy and international affairs for CNN. Her tweet included a link to CNN’s story on the House action Thursday.
Labott later apologized on Twitter, saying her previous message was inappropriate and disrespectful.
Credit them for fessing up, admitting their mistake and taking proper action unlike the other liberal station MSNBC
What happened to “Free Speech ” ?????!!!! The left is able to spew what ever opinion they deem correct .When someone challenges them , there is hell to pay !!!! What a sick world !!!!!
Here is CNN pretending to be an objective news organization…
Gosh though, liberalism knows no bounds! They rather see their family die?
I would in no way equate Syrian Refugees, with the boatloads of our ancestors. Our ancestors were in no way considered a threat to civilization and or Democracy. They were turned away because of fear of overpopulation and the possibility of causing job insecurity for those already here. The Jews are always treated worse than anyone else, although they contribute more than most to civilization; discoveries, economics, etc.
