Erin Burnett OutFront

Erin Burnett seems like that captain of the high school softball team in some fancy suburb who decides she's going to be a journalist, catches the attention of some softhead who decides they're going to make it happen, and, poof, there she is. If there was some remarkable talent involved, I don't know what it is.

But she can really make your teeth itch with her biases, and I don't just mean politically. This is the "journalist" whose first question to Andrew Yang after the Presidential Debates is a sensitive "What's it like to be the only minority on stage?" but who then squirts lots of tears night after night for all those White people in Ukraine. She seems particularly hard faced -- and she has a hard face -- when it comes to the tragedies of some people but then all gushy and sobbing with others. Judge for yourself by watching a few times and see if you see any patterns emerge.

Meanwhile, she just regurgitates the four or five stories of the day every other news show on CNN talks about. CNN has really been sinking lately. They're no longer really first in reporting live news, and their pundits all seem completely interchangeable. I understand running a news network must be hard, but that's the profession these folks have chosen.
