As the mainstream media machine reaps the benefit of this COVID-19 cataclysm, some within the system seem to be getting a little burnt out. After all, they’ve been talking Wuhan Virus for weeks on end now….and during an election year to boot.
To make matters worse over at CNN, primetime anchor Chris Cuomo actually caught the infernal illness and has been broadcasting from home. At one point, the home-bound anchor described having a “phantasmagorical” experience that he claimed was “not a dream”, all while in the throes of fever madness.
It looks like that otherworldly odyssey may have snapped a synapse.
Cuomo went on the surprising rant during the Monday edition of his SiriusXM radio program.
“I don’t want to spend my time doing things that I don’t think are valuable enough to me personally,” Cuomo said. “I don’t value indulging irrationality, hyper-partisanship.”
“I don’t like what I do professionally,” he added. “I don’t think it’s worth my time.”
Cuomo, who has been in self-quarantine since contracting the Chinese coronavirus, then lamented “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.”
He then took it up a notch.
“I’m basically being perceived as successful in a system that I don’t value,” he went on. “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.”
Cuomo would later walk back some of the sentiment that the public imbued from his remarks, attempting in vain to do away with the drama of the day.
