#2 CNN staffers are upset and confused about the network’s decision to hire a REPUBLICAN partisan political operative to oversee its 2020 campaign reporting.

That's whats really ticking them off

#3 No institutional bias there. (do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

CNN staffers are upset and confused about the network’s decision to hire a ~~partisan political operative~~ a person of color to oversee its 2020 campaign reporting.

Now that is made clear of what intolerance is about.

#5 Well, if she's GOPe, she will have more "street cred" when she turns out to be a shameless progressive hack.

Well, there were those unsightly administration leaks, and former Congress critter and alleged conservative Mike Rogers certainly found a home at CNN.

#6 The hiring was met with a negative internal reaction, especially because many CNN staffers have been largely left ~~in the dark on the controversial decision~~.

That's a little more accurate, isn't it?

#8 Good. CNN is in need of babysitters.

#9 Isgur may not be the one to babysit CNN. The GP reports the following: Isgur may be a good fit at CNN which is not a compliment.
