CNN Chief Overrun with E-mails Opposing Roberts Ad

"CNN's Jim Walton got the message people were upset with the network's airing of an ad that targeted Supreme Court nominee John Roberts. More than 10,000 messages, actually... "In a note Monday to fellow executives, Walton, the network's president, said the phone would be the only way to reach him for a while, given that his e-mail was temporarily clogged."

But their spokeswoman, Laurie Goldberg, said CNN "doesn't pay attention to mass campaigns." Additionally, "We welcome individual feedback," but "when a message is clearly mass produced, that counts as one e-mail."

Unless it's a campaign from FAIR or Media Matters.
