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":https://t.co/ctHzceHlO1pic.twitter.com/btHJRu41nI
“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!’
A video out of Argentina shows a couple proudly walking down the street wearing full upper body visors that resemble dog cones to protect against coronavirus.
Welcome to your new normal.
Apparently, the contraptions are called ‘Breathe Well Tubes’ and look completely ridiculous.
The clip shows the couple happily posing for people who want to take pictures of them wearing the visors, which cover their entire body from the chest upwards.
As we previously highlighted, last month the Governor of Maine ordered restaurant staff to wear anti-COVID visors upside down so they resemble dog cones in order to direct breath upwards.
The measure was questioned given that air conditioning units can facilitate the spread of coronavirus.
The mass normalization of face coverings as a means of creating a compliant and hive-mind population was predicted by author Ernst Jünger in his dystopian classic The Worker 90 years ago.
The book, published in 1930, foresaw the uniformity of the new age symbolized by everyone wearing some form of face covering to atomize their identity.
In 1984, George Orwell also described the masses of Airstrip One as, “a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans…three hundred million people all with the same face.”
Numerous video clips out of New Jersey show people stopping their cars on a busy highway to express their shock at witnessing a “UFO” that is clearly a Goodyear blimp.
The first clip shows the hovering blimp, while a woman who sounds Mexican exclaims, “Oh my God!”
The object is clearly a blimp and its flashing light can be seen blinking in the video.
“Look the whole street has fucking stopped!” says another man. “There’s a fucking flying spaceship!” The camera then pans around to show numerous other people filming the blimp.
“Everybody’s stopping their cars and looking and literally recording,” says another woman.
“OK, this is literally a fucking UFO, it’s just floating,” says a man in another clip showing the blimp, which was in the air near Teterboro Airport yesterday.
The sheer gullibility and naivety of so many people thinking a blimp is actually an alien spaceship is a perfect illustration of how Americans are so easily led and have lost basic critical thinking skills.
Two high school football players were suspended indefinitely after they carried flags onto the field honoring police officers and firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11.
On Friday, the two Little Miami High School players took to the field carrying a Thin Blue Line and a Thin Red Line flag.
When asked by Local 12 whether he was trying to make a political statement, senior cornerback Brady Williams, whose father is a police officer, responded, “No, not at all. I was just doing it to honor the people that lost their lives 19 years ago.”
Jarad Bentley, who carried the Thin Red Flag, told the station, “I was all for it. Because my dad is a firefighter, and if it had been him killed on 9/11, I would have wanted someone to do it for him.”
However, the pair were suspended indefinitely by the school’s superintendent after disobeying an order not to carry the flags.
Two Little Miami football players pay the price for civil disobedience. They were told not to carry onto the field thin blue line and thin red line flags at their 9/11 game. They did anyway. The school has now suspended them from the team indefinitely. #ThinBlueLine#ThinRedLinepic.twitter.com/19y9GAvaxr
“We can’t have students who decide to do something anyway after they’ve been told that they shouldn’t be doing it,” said Gregory Power, who claimed the flags were expressing a “political perspective” that other families may not agree with.
Power subsequently claimed he was getting “hate” messages from people who disagreed with his decision.
While people are allowed and even encouraged to show deference and support at sports games for Black Lives Matter, a violent revolutionary Marxist group, honoring 9/11 victims is apparently a “political statement.”
However, Williams was defiant, telling the station, “I realize that this was more than just a football team; these guys are now my brothers.”
