Some think her job was just to destroy it, but that doesn't make much sense. That's easy to do! Click cancel!

More likely she was supposed to MAGAfy it, but there are plenty of hardcore uncut MAGA outlets. To do propaganda for the existing CBS news audience you have to do it quietly and subtly, with a bit of skill. Not what you get from a dimbulb narcissist.
