CNN Staffers Revolt Due to Inability to Tolerate Scott Jennings
Newsbusters ^ | January 31, 2026 | P.J. Gladnick

Few 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.

Truth to the commies is like Holy Water to a vampire. Which is appropriate because they’re all blood suckers.

The commies are just upset that Scott Jennings kicks their asses every single damn day. They dont have a valid argument for their stupidity and he exposes them everyday for the morons they are. Commies cant stand being confronted with the truth so they scream like babies

When one side controls the terms of a debate, they win. They’ll redefine the terms and then force you to argue on their terms. Or put another way, if you argue on their terms, you will always lose.

This is why the left refuses to allow conservatives to moderate presidential debates.

Democrats are extremely tolerant of everyone they agree with.

I wonder how much of the paltry ratings they do get are people tuning in just to see a Scott Jennings derailment?

DEI in action.

Diversity is conformity.
Equity is unfairness.
And inclusion means exclusion.

It is just "a" legal term, it is *the* legal term.

They want to water everything down so they can try to avoid discussing the actual topic and make it sound less serious than it is. "Killing the unborn" they want to call "reproductive freedom", etc.

No debates in 2028 unless they agree to two debates—home and away. JD gets to choose Tucker Carlson on Fox News while Gavin will pick David Muir on ABC.

If Gavin refuses, then no debates.

Not a big deal anyway.

Looks like leftist staffers outed themselves. Time to fire up the boot machine!

Anyone else view Liberals as spoiled little brats who, when they don’t get their way, start screaming and yelling in hopes that everyone around them will cave in an bow to their snot-nosed demands? I think their tantrum days are just about over.

To the Drive-By Media, their religious cathedral is one of conformity. How many of them probably state: “I don’t know anyone who voted for President Trump.”

It is blasphemy to say anything other than the accepted mindset. Sooooo many of these leftist creepozoids CONSTANTLY talk over others. This action serves several purposes. They talk over so that they themselves do not have to hear, to experience the blasphemy, and so that others will not be able to hear what is being said.

I remember once telling a Leftist “the only people I ever talk over are people who talk over me.” He didn’t like it that other people would talk.

I am rooting for Scott Jennings to be shown the door at CNN. The sec he is gone, so are their ratings. That place is barely hanging on.

The funny thing is that the staffers don’t get it. CNN is no longer a loss leader for AT&T. There is no corporate giant backing CNN who is willing to let that network be a cash sucking vortex. It stands alone and needs ratings or soon those staffers who are revolted over Scott Jennings will be on the street.
