CNN creates blogging policy, encourages employees to engage in sockpuppetry:
Chez Pazienza, a former CNN producer who was fired six months ago for having a personal blog, obtained a copy of the new blogging policy that his former employer sent out to all staff (I’ve also copy and pasted it below). While it allows employees to blog, they have to get it approved by a supervisor and it bars them from mentioning anything that CNN would cover — in other words, it keeps them from talking about just about anything but their own belly lint. And even that would be ruled out if we all found out tomorrow that a new form of AIDS is spread through belly lint.
What especially caught my eye was the rules for commenting on other websites or chat rooms:
