CURL: CNN’s Brian Stelter Wants Everyone To Know That He Has ‘Cried For Our Pre-Pandemic Lives’
“Strong men also cry. Strong men also cry.” – The Big Lebowski
CNN’s Brian Stelter took to Twitter over the weekend to make sure everyone knows he is a deeply emotional man who is so full of pathos that he is shedding buckets full of tears over the horrors he sees each day as a “journalist.”
Stelter said the coronavirus crisis has beaten him down, leading to a copious flow of lachrymal fluid.
“Last night, I hit a wall. Gutted by the death toll. Disturbed by the govt’s shortcomings. Dismayed by political rhetoric that bears no resemblance to reality. Worried about friends who are losing jobs; kids who are missing school; and senior citizens who are living in fear,” Stelter wrote on Twitter.
The CNN host went on further – about
himself.
“I crawled in bed and cried for our pre-pandemic lives. Tears that had been waiting a month to escape. I wanted to share because it feels freeing to do so. Now is not a time for faux-invincibility. Journos are living this, hating this, like everyone else,” Stelter wrote.
Stelter, of course, added a link to his CNN newsletter page (a good time to hawk some wares).
Social media weighed in on quickly.
