'Very true': What does CNN's inaction on Carol Costello say about their 'standards'?

The fact that that tweet’s still up says a lot about Carol Costello.

If CNN suspends @CarolCNN 4 condoning violence against women itll be the "best piece of audio we've ever come across" http://t.co/LWlNh9QobR

And the fact that Costello has essentially skated on her sickening mockery of Bristol Palin’s possible assault says a lot about CNN:

@KatiePavlich @EdMorrissey Martin Bashir was fired for painting a word-picture of a woman being abused. @CarolCNN laughed at the real thing.

@KatiePavlich @EdMorrissey @CarolCNN Meaning that MSNBC has higher standards for their opinion hosts than CNN does for a news anchor. Hmm.

That’s pretty sad, no? And here’s something else to consider:

@KatiePavlich @EdMorrissey And I don't think Bashir ever presented himself as Great Defender of the Abused, like Miss @CarolCNN.

@laura_lrnzo @KatiePavlich Very true. @CarolCNN has been a font of sanctimony on this point for months.
