CNN has crossed many lines, but this one deserves special mention:
[O]n the CIA’s 7th floor — home to top leadership — some officers are also quietly discussing how mass firings and the buyouts already offered to staff risk creating a group of disgruntled former employees who might be motivated to take what they know to a foreign intelligence service.
Taken together, those actions highlight the depth of unease among career officials that Trump’s efforts to speedily slim down the US government may be putting American secrets within the grasp of foreign spies and hackers.
You say these “disgruntled former employees” might betray the United States by selling U.S. government secrets, therefore… what? They should be retained at the CIA, where they have access to even more secrets? Giving them even more leverage against their employer? What am I missing here?
I know, I know: You can always count on CNN to take whatever position is most inimical to America and Americans. All the same, surely some editor somewhere in that organization should have recognized this as verging on self-parody. If CNN no longer has an editor capable of that degree of discernment, its Human Resources department needs an overhaul. They’ve plainly been hiring from the wrong end of the barrel.

Sounds like a job for the “Special Activities” division.
What you may be missing would require you to delve deeper into CNN’s and other corporate media’s efforts at cultural destruction. CNN is fomenting exactly such a betrayal by exacerbating feelings of betrayal by the “government they’ve served,” not the constitution and republic they’ve sworn an oath to. I point once again to Critical Theory being the tool inculcated in Marxists to do the dirty work for the Progs, the Progs being too cowardly to dare.
