“CNN is facing a near internal revolt over the Corey hiring,” said a TV insider, who described many in the newsroom as “livid.” “Female reporters and producers especially .?.?. They are organizing and considering publicly demanding” that Lewandowski be let go.

What is CNN thinking? I'm turning CNN off if he is on. I don't watch much TV except occasional news ( never FOX), and sure won't watch him. Maybe they want Trump fans to watch their channel.
