Why Are You Trying to Look Like a YouTuber?

Here is CNN’s Kaitlan Collins holding teeny-tiny microphone. I guess she’s trying to look a YouTuber/TikToker now.

What CNN braintrust came up with this idea?

Doesn't #CNN have audio people?

Anchors holding teeny-tiny microphones like YouTubers and TikTokers now?

Next they'll be wearing those mics that look like pagers or some kinda furry rodent.@CNN @kaitlancollins #TheSource #news pic.twitter.com/1w52LihOyo
