There is one conservative, Trump-supporting voice on CNN, and the left absolutely can’t stand it.
Scott Jennings is the only person who makes the network even watchable at times, and for this, leftists at the network are working behind the scenes to get rid of him because they simply refuse to tolerate any dissent. Progressives require conformity, and anyone who steps out of line is punished.
P.J. Gladnick writes at NewsBusters:
CNN Staffers Revolt Due to Inability to Tolerate Scott JenningsFew things better exemplify the inability of the left to tolerate contrary viewpoints than the recent struggle session framed as an “Internal Town Hall” when CNN CEO Mark Thompson was confronted by leftist staffers who claimed they were offended by the existence on their network of conservative commentator Scott Jennings.It seems they agreed with recent NewsNight guest Cameron Kasky, who arrogantly declared to Jennings that he was somehow not permitted to use the term “illegal alien” despite the fact it is a legal term written into immigration law.
Gladnick points to this report from the Daily Beast that describes a recent CNN struggle session:
CNN Boss Confronted by Staff Over MAGA Pundit’s On-Air BehaviorCNN boss Mark Thompson was pressed by staff about why the network has not reined in MAGA mouthpiece Scott Jennings’ on-air rhetoric.Thompson hosted an all-hands meeting with CNN employees, giving them the opportunity to raise questions and concerns about the network’s current state and future.During the meeting, staff questioned the behavior of Jennings, who frequently gets into verbal spats with other CNN guests as a firebrand Trump loyalist…Earlier this month, Democratic political operative Julie Roginsky published a critique of CNN for repeatedly inviting Jennings to appear on its shows.Writing in her Salty Politics Substack, Roginsky questioned why Jennings is allowed back on the network when he is “rude, dismissive, and antagonistic in ways that feel personal rather than substantive,” especially toward female guests.“CNN should ask itself a simple question: what is Scott Jennings adding that could not be accomplished by any number of conservative analysts who are capable of making arguments without bad-faith theatrics?” Roginsky wrote.
This is all lies, of course. The left doesn’t like Jennings because he is effective. Plain and simple.
If the people who run CNN had any brains, they would ignore these leftist complainers and give Scott Jennings his own primetime show. If they did that, CNN might actually take some market share away from FOX News, for once.
