Bashing Bush on Company E-mail

John Green, ABC's executive producer of Good Morning America (weekend version), was suspended at the end of March of a couple of e-mails he sent out disparaging President Bush and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Green's suspension was for a month without pay.

The Drudge Report uncovered a copy of the e-mail message.

ABC Executive Producer James Goldston claimed the lesson learned:

What we can learn from this is: Watch what you write in your e-mails,” Goldston said.

Another lesson: Don’t use your corporate e-mail to say that the President “makes me sick” or the former Secretary of State has “Jew shame.”

And yet another lesson as Green’s colleagues search through their own outboxes to see what e-mails they might have sent that could lead to endangering their jobs, is: Watch whom you write your e-mails to.

Apparently, one of Green's recipients didn't like the e-mail and allowed the message to go public, igniting the scandal. Turning themself into a leak.

Television news divisions have always been tough on leakers, yet the network hasn't clarified how hotly the executives may be pursuing the leak.
