I dont understand what gave him the impression that he can be an on-air “reporter” and then use Twitter under his real name to call people names.
Snowflake entitlement. Been that way a while in journalism. Some places curb it, some don’t. Most don’t until something like this happens, a grievance is filed and a week later the reporter is brought back after people forget.
Not just people, a candidate for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. And he thought so because employees of his network and other networks regularly display absolutely zero respect for any Republican candidate making this action by CNN completely hypocritical at best when they all do it.
