Only 14 years old and already overflowing with stunning bravery!
Obviously this is a very important story of national importance that’s so important that CNN has decided to cover it:

Really:
A teen explains why she flipped off anti-mask protesters outside her Vermont school: “The protesters are there every single day. And they come over and they just hold up their signs, and for me, I was just fed up. … We're all just annoyed with it.” pic.twitter.com/wtjeImBqSG

We know what else CNN was supposed to do: smile, nod, and move on to stuff that actually matters. Trying to turn this girl into a hero is fun and all, but it won’t get you the back the respect that you lost years ago.
It's this type of deep dive into super important topics that keep @cnn going..🙄🤣

This is what news is these days… I guess nothing important going on in the world…

It’s not as if there’s actual news to cover or anything.
