cnn production meeting, atl ga

The production office was headed by a kind of shrine...not covered w. Books or alcohol like in a bar...neither statuettes of asian gods but the french 'coq sportiff' for this was cnn's muse and idol and what cnn turned to for inspiration and when in doubt

often the production room was treated like a moslem prayer room...workers could kick off their shoes and sit in silence or prostrate themselves before the 'coq sporiff'... Additionally, theirs were papuan, british and confederate flags representing cnn's (anti-yankee(?!)) international political interests...

One day, an atlanta cnn staffer, bard omar, kicked off his thongs and sat in silence to commune with the 'coq sportiff'
