CNN, HBO, all owned by Time Warner, soon to be AT&T are having a real bad week
First we had Kathy Griffin, who lost her job on CNN.
Then we had Bill Maher, where requests to HBO are asking them to fire Maher.
and now we are back to CNN, where A CNN host assumed an Indian American spelling bee champion could read Sanskrit:
"Alisyn Camerota and Chris Cuomo were talking to 12-year-old Ananya Vinay on “New Day” after Ananya’s Thursday victory at the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Toward the end of the interview — and after several awkward seconds of asking the sixth-grader to spell “covfefe” — Camerota joked about the origin of the gibberish that President Trump conjured on Twitter last week.
“It’s a nonsense word. So, we’re not sure that its root is actually in Sanskrit, which is what you’re probably, uh, used to using, so, I don’t know. Anyway,” Camerota said."

I suspect there will be letters or comments from somone asking Alsyn Camerota to resigin.
No doubt there is genuine concern that there appears to be an attempt to normalize racism through the media, is what is fueling those concerns.
I wouldn't even be surprised if some of those calling for these resignations are from people who have supported a racist agenda for a while.
Ok, I get it. I agree. It is time for the media to finally take a stand and call out racism where they see it, and where it occurs:
I'm waiting.............
