What kind of buffoon prime-time anchor would leave a well-paying gig for a streaming service that hadn't even gotten off the ground yet?

What kind of buffoon would subscribe to a news streaming service anyway, specifically a corporate press (i.e., cable news) channel. All they do today is regurgitate the same 7 minutes of headlines over and over 24/7, with annoying opinions and commercials mixed in throughout. Sounds like torture. "Hey honey, I subscribed to CNN+!" is a phrase you'll never hear.

OTOH...I don't think Fox Nation is going gangbusters, but the word is that the channel is exceeding internal projections. It's not all news, of course.

The talking heads don't need to be exactly smart. They just need to be good talkers, and in many cases to make it look as though they're not reading an autocue when they're reading an autocue.
After a while, I imagine most of them probably start believing their own bullshit.

And then they become presidential debate moderators.

I didn't learn much about Obama as a person during his presidency. But I learned a lot when refused to endorse Biden when that endorsement could have come at any social cost whatsoever to himself. Then his 50th birthday party and the pop culture orgy that was, well, yes, that's Obama the man. Glorified nothing burger. I can't imagine he had anything interesting to say on his podcast, for all the white progressives who probably touched themselves to it.

I saw a TV commercial last night for CNN+. Awkward.

People who preach about kindness to others inevitably bear claws and fangs as soon as they feel righteous to do so. It’s not that kind people don’t exist, it’s that kind people who condescendingly preach about kindness don’t exist. Most of those idiots can’t pass a first simple test of kindness, for instance viewing charitably the opinions of a political other.
