Obama Speechwriter: @SeanHannity has “a little beachhead on half the shows” on CNN
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

About the last accusation you’d expect to hear leveled at CNN is that it is too accommodating to Sean Hannity and Donald Trump.

But that’s the charge that former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett has made.

Appearing on Brian Stelter’s Reliable Sources on CNN today, Lovett first praised Stelter as a “bulwark,” noting “you go after Hannity on your show.”

Lovett then turned the tables, claiming “but then you turn on CNN, and Hannity’s got a little beachhead on half the shows on this network.” Lovett’s beef was that CNN panels include Trump supporters he disparages.

Alex Jones got neutered this week. Looks like the new target is Hannity.

Jon Lovett is GAY.

It’s on his Wiki.

This jerk was an Obama speechwriter? No wonder his speeches were so vapid.

I agree with him. I believe John McCain would be a good example. The mainstream media likes to interview rino clowns.

Read the transcript.

It's pretty clear how Lovett got his job.

He's a world class suck-up.

Even Stelter was embarrassed.

And that doesn't happen much.

Thetwo most stomach-turning voices in radio: Alex Jones and his vomit-growl (and interrupting), and David Knight with his non-standard shifted vowels and glottal stops, and overpronounced consonants.
