On CNN's Sciutto-Stacked Panel, Dem Predicts Midterm Wins, Ignores Unpopularity in Polls

When Kasie's away, Sciutto will play . . .

We wouldn't call CNN This Morning host Kasie Hunt fair 'n balanced. She certainly leans to port. But at least when it comes to assembling her panels, Hunt has sought some viewpoint balance.

Hunt consistently has one bona fide Republican on her panel, typically Brad Todd or Matt Gorman. Neither is a fire-breathing advocate in the mold of Scott Jennings, but neither are they the CNN equivalent of "MSNBC Republicans." The two generally make the case for Trump, and for Republicans in general.

But with Hunt away this week [and in line to be replaced by Audie Cornish], hard-core lefty Jim Sciutto has been hosting the show. His pernicious influence was apparent in the composition of today's panel, which consisted of Isaac Dovere, Meghan Hays, and Joe Walsh.

Sciutto introduced Walsh as a "former Republican Representative for Illinois."

Unsuspecting viewers would think that Walsh was the Republican on the panel. In fact, Walsh is an ardent Trump antagonist who in 2020 said he'd support any Dem running against Trump. He endorsed Biden in 2020, again in 2024, and Kamala Harris when she replaced Biden on the ticket.
