Here’s Beth Fouhy, one of CNN’s top producers, being interviewed last month by Tammy Haddad on a show called The First Producer’s Club, on America’s Voice cable channel:

FOUHY: “We love Pat Buchanan — there does get to a point, though, where probably he looks a little silly and we look a little silly with this back and forth quality; he’s either a candidate or he works for CNN . . . as a commentator. I do think that it confuses CNN’s audience to see him hosting a show and then the next day, being the subject of news coverage as a candidate. . . . I think it’s gotten to the point where Pat doesn’t really want to come back and it probably wouldn’t feel appropriate to anybody.”
HADDAD: “So, you don’t think it’s appropriate for CNN to bring him back?”
FOUHY: “At this point, I’m prepared to say it would be inappropriate.”
