If I were in the midst of a family emergency I might say no, I can't come in. But other than that? No, not really. That's part of the job. If you want to work here, then you have to be willing to do that. When I was at home over Winter Break, I told the office that I could take the shuttle up and be at work within four hours of being called, and that was pretty much expected of me. If he were just a journalist, then fine. But he's the most public face of CNN, at a moment when CNN's viewership is likely to be at a peak. What are they paying him for, if not for moments like that?
