Matt Dornic, “VP Comms & Digital Partnerships” at CNN, trashed the Daily Caller’s Benny Johnson after Benny tweeted mean emojis at the cable network:

Hey @bennyjohnson. Don’t you think you should disclose that you wanted to work at CNN — and we almost hired you — until you were discovered to be a pathological plagiarist? https://t.co/ZaEGxIwXpV

This is what set Dornic off:

Wait, can a CNN executive share private information about a job applicant like this?

To anyone applying for jobs in media, check out this tweet from a CNN executive.

If you ever apply for a job at CNN and don't get it and later say something negative about them they will use info from the hiring process to publicly attack you.

That's the kind of company CNN is. https://t.co/eQxy9J1Pm1

That’s not a good look, CNN:

Every Human Resources Manager in the country cringed when reading that tweet (except maybe CNN's).

But Benny is a conservative so maybe it’s OK:

It’s 100% unprofessional to put someone on blast publicly for applying for your business. Speaks to the environment over at CNN, especially if you happen to be a conservative. https://t.co/PmvzQOCGsi

And as for CNN’s problem with plagiarists, can Dornic explain Fareed Zakaria?

You'd think the communications director at the network that still employs @FareedZakaria would be a little self-conscious, or at least more careful about dancing on people's mistakes. #Banana https://t.co/AcTeS3RS2e https://t.co/wQzNc7XW89
