Here's what is and isn't enough to get CNN to fire somebody

Well, we’ve finally seen what it takes to get CNN to fire somebody:

CNN fired three employees who violated its Covid safety protocols by going to the office unvaccinated, the company said Thursday. It's one of the first known examples of a major U.S. corporation terminating workers for ignoring a workplace vaccine mandate. https://t.co/wgkh1Pwy9i

JUST IN – CNN fires three employees who came into the office unvaccinated, cites "zero-tolerance" on policy.

Really, CNN?

But they won’t fire a guy who jerked off on a zoom call or Fredo… https://t.co/mZjBnci0Tc

And yet Toobin and Fredo still have jobs. Weird, huh? https://t.co/C1SBKw00oU

CNN does have its “priorities.”

CNN will fire you if you aren't vaxxed but put you in prime time If your brother is Governor, has one of the highest covid death rates and sexually abuses women that work for him. https://t.co/LMIoZ53IcQ

Didnt @ChrisCuomo Stage an entirely fake hoax live on air of him pretending to be quarantined? Was he not fired @CNN ?

There will certainly be legal challenges to firings like these.
