Craigslist CEO Slams CNN Reporter

Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster told CNN what he thought of the news company's request for an interview after they ambushed Craig Newmark a couple months ago:

"You knew Craig was not in management or a company spokesperson, but setting CNN’s ethical code aside, you sidestepped company channels in favor of ambushing our semi-retired founder, complete with a misleading 'set up' for your surprise questions," Buckmaster wrote. "Your stunt has veteran news pros we know recoiling in journalistic horror, some of them chalking it up to a decline in CNN’s standards, which is unfortunate."
