You are good to scorch CNN. It couldn't happen to a finer organization or for a better reason.

Their debacle is a grievous symptom of the U.S.'s patriarchy, as well as a symbol of its' unbridled capitalism.

Intertwined, both win by dominance; and winner takes all. Boys dressed as men who become very wealthy, often illegally and unscrupulously, are promoted with sensational media coverage as successful, important, unstoppable; it is HE, who owns women and the world.

The slow legal and cultural reckoning allows for these fits of decadence and ego tantrums by celebrity perpetrators. Victims are identified as accusers, while their justice is delayed/denied. The high cost to them is public humiliation and trauma, in a field day for the media.

CNN's debasement of women, by hosting an aggrieved and enraged tyrant, fresh from being found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, who was interviewed by a woman in ceremonial/sacrificial white, and bullied in real time, extended the parallels of abuse and indecency of capitalististic domination of women, and of the earth. E. Jean Carroll and many, many of us thank you for holding this up to the bright light of truth.
