Every time we think we’ve reached “peak CNN” the peak just keeps rising higher.

Today’s hottest of takes is about daylight savings time and who, as the cliche goes, is “hardest hit”:

Yep, it’s the real deal written by a CNN health reporter:

Why are we not surprised?

As the United States rolled back the clocks one hour this month to observe the end of Daylight Saving Time, many people got a bit more sleep than usual – but some not as much as others.

Growing evidence shows that lack of sleep and sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, remain more prevalent in Black, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino communities, and these inequities can have long-term detrimental implications for physical health, even raising the risk of certain chronic diseases.

Meanwhile, Daylight Saving Time itself – enacted in the US to reduce electricity usage by extending daylight hours – has long been controversial in the United States.

Well, there it is.

CNN’s next assignment should be to find something that’s not racist, and that would probably take them… forever.
