One could almost start to feel sorry for CNN with its daily rake stepping.

As the network continued its battle with President Trump, it sought to get past the firestorm created by its veiled threat against the social media user who created the parody wrestling video of the president and the CNN logo.

Then CNN host Chris Cuomo went ahead and told the New York Times that his job was like entering the setting of steel-cage fighting in the “Mad Max” movies’ Thunderdome.

“I’m comfortable going to work in Thunderdome every day.” — @ChrisCuomo https://t.co/8QXctTmU1W — Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) July 6, 2017

Cuomo joined the ranks of NBC’s Katy Tur who famously likened journalists to firefighters bravely running into fires.

Twitter was merciless in its response to Cuomo.

Bunch of quivering lip pansies trying to pretend they are dealing with real adversity. Truly pathetic. — Tired of Me R Thomas (@Plate0fShrimp) July 6, 2017

So is it Thunderdome or firefighters rushing into the flames? Just so I can tell journos in Syria how brave it is to work in Columbus Circle https://t.co/GC6J7d6byg — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) July 6, 2017
