Watched Some CNN At The Gym

Big mistake.

But I was on the treadmill...for which I have virtually no patience. I can gleefully run trails for hours, but two minutes on the treadmill and I'm ready to jump off a cliff.

But I digress.

There was CNN on one of the five zillion tvs, and closed captioning was on.

It was...get this...Brian Stelter interviewing Nicole Hannah Jones. My God. It was like supervillain team-up. Or stupervillain team up... Get it?

It was so revolting that I didn't even finish my traditional one fast mile. I was done lifting anyway and just grabbed my jacket and left. 

I know that there have always been stupid people in journalism...but did academia always try to hire the very stupidest ones into endowed chairs? And Stelter...  A living, breathing experiment in self-humiliation.

Ok. I've gotta quit thinking about it. It was just too repulsive.
