It’s no secret that there’s been a lot of turnover in the Trump administration, and each departure was covered extensively in the media as a sign of the turbulence that surrounds Donald Trump.
So why wouldn’t CNN dedicate an interview to a White House stenographer who quit her job? No, really:

We’re not suggesting that Beck Dorey-Stein is grandstanding or anything, but it seems CNN only got in touch with her after reading her op-ed published in The New York Times Tuesday, in which she wrote that “it’s clear that White House stenographers do not serve his administration, but rather his adversary: the truth.”
Dorey-Stein talked to CNN’s Alisyn Camerota about the support the White House stenographers received from former President Barack Obama.
“I was so proud to serve under the Obama administration, and I felt like President Trump was lying to the American people and also not even trying to lie, like not even trying to tell the truth,” Dorey-Stein told Camerota.
Among other horrors, she told Camerota that President Trump “does not like microphones near his face, which is difficult because as a stenographer we often had to do that.”

I quit a job once too. They replaced me. Not exactly news worthy is it?

CNN is a lost soul. I used to rely on them for the neutral viewpoints that Americans desperately need. Now they're an arm of the DNC, ignoring all Democrat wrongdoings and amplifying the shit out of any potential wrongdoings of GOP. Activists disguised as objective truth tellers.

Now we have only one question: Will Scarlett Johansson be playing her in the movie, or will it be someone else?
