The Woke-Off To Replace Chris Cuomo

Turns out there is a bottom, sort of, for CNN to hit, and some standard they simply will not look the other way on. It’s way down there, and very specific to some as yet unheard of sexual misconduct allegation no one has released details of (yet), but they have standards. And the firing of Chris Cuomo has set off a feeding frenzy, a woke-off to fill his timeslot and, more importantly, hammer those big checks that come, even when you’re by far the least watched person in your timeslot.
The concept should strike fear into the hearts of everyone working at CNN, because once you introduce the concept of standards into an environment it is hard to get them out. Standards, even low ones, put everyone at CNN at risk of losing their jobs. But the promise of that seven-figure payday is all those scrambling for it to see.
So who will replace Cuomo? Who wants to be the captain of the Titanic? Pretty much everyone at CNN, actually.
You can almost forget that this level of stupid exists, but it does. And in left-wing circles, the willingness to say dumb things, or even be dumber than most people could if they tried, is handsomely rewarded. And CNN has uniquely positioned itself to have a deep bench of people willing and able to say dumb things with a straight face for a paycheck.
