Feist to Bureau: "CNN Senior Mgt. Behind JK USA"

Earlier today, CNN’s Sam Feist held his first staff briefing since accepting the position of Washington bureau chief for the network.  Insiders tell FishbowlDC that Feist applauded his team’s poise under pressure during last week’s blackout which left both CNN and CQ Roll Call without power.

“If we can do what we do when the electricity if off…just imagine what we’re capable of doing when the power is on,” he gushed.

Feist gave special praise to Dana Bash for breaking news on Weinergate and shared astonishment that Wolf Blitzer never broke a sweat on air, despite being forced to broadcast from outdoors during the blackout.
