In The Ridiculous"

CNN
anchor Chris Cuomo made a startling confession Monday, declaring that
he doesn’t value his job and that CNN is “trafficking in things
that I think are ridiculous.”
In
a Howard Beale-esq moment, Cuomo made the comments on his SiriusXM
show, apparently having an epiphany after contracting coronavirus.
“I don’t want to spend my time doing things that I don’t think are valuable enough to me personally,” Cuomo said, adding “I don’t value indulging the rationality, hyper-partisanship.”

.@CNN's Chris Cuomo went on a rant today about how having the coronavirus has made him reconsider his life. He said he doesn't like what he does, that it isn't worth his time and even ranted about a "jackass, loser, fat tire biker":bit.ly/2RyMa9B
“I
don’t like what I do professionally,” Cuomo
said. “I don’t think it’s worth my time.”
Cuomo
also said that he dislikes
“talking to Democrats about things that I don’t really believe
they mean” and
“talking to Republicans about them parroting things they feel they
have to say.”
The
host seems to be reevaluating his role in the fake news system that
has become purely about winning ratings by saying ridiculous things.
“I don’t think its worth it to me because I don’t think I mean enough, I don’t think I matter enough, I don’t think I can really change anything, so then what am I really doing?” Cuomo continued.
“I’m
basically being perceived as successful in a system that I don’t
value. I’m seen as being good at being on TV and advocating for
different positions… but I don’t know if I value those things,
certainly not as much as I value being able to live my life on my own
terms.” he added.
The
host also related an experience about being approached by a biker on
Easter Sunday, being verbally abused while he was out with his
family, adding that he wants to be able to act like any other member
of the public, so he told the biker to ‘go to hell’.
“I
don’t want some jackass, loser, fat tire biker being able to pull
over and get in my space and talk bullsh** to me, I don’t want to
hear it.” Cuomo
ranted.
“That matters to me more than making millions of dollars a year…because I’ve saved my money and I don’t need it anymore. I want to be able to tell you to go to hell, to shut your mouth…I don’t get that doing what I do for a living.” he added.
Last
year, Cuomo made headlines when he was caught on video threatening a
guy who called him ‘Fredo’, the name of the ‘weak’ middle
brother in ‘The Godfather’.
Cuomo
told the person that he would “f***ing throw you down the stairs
like a f***ing punk”:
“So, I’m gonna make changes,” Cuomo concluded.
“Why? Because I’ve gotta be happy. Why? Because life is short. Life is short. And I’m pretty far down the road – I’m gonna be 50.”
He also admitted that he
doesn’t want to be like other network anchors who are open about
their partisanship.
“I’ll never be Sean Hannity. I’ll never have this mass following that echoes a political set of ideas and principles that I’ll agree with. Similarly, Rachel Maddow.” Cuomo announced.
It seems that Cuomo is
‘mad as hell and he aint gonna take it no more!’
life is short.... very short...
