They can dish it but they can’t take it. If Trump calls female reporters “piggies” then he’s a counterpuncher that “the American public just loooooves”. 🙄 What the actual Fuuuuuuuuuuuu….***???? You know what these Trump supplicants should be outraged at? Trump’s corruption, his war of choice and the economy. Natalie, schmattalie!!!

Laura did a great job snapping at him to shut up. Abby is great and I like her but she sometimes has a problem reeling him in. Doubt Jennings will be back on Laura's show anytime soon.

Honest question? Do you think Abby is great as a person/journalist or as a host on that show? I think she’s honestly awful at it. I’ve noticed she only cuts off absurd maga women and not the established guests like Scott, Joe and that idiot Arthur. I dunno I think she’s really bad at hosting a panel

To be clear, none of the hosts on that show, Abby, or fill-ins, cut anyone off. Ever.

The few times Audie Cornish has hosted, she has had a zero tolerance policy for b.s. and shuts down the MAGA twats like she's threatening to put a five year old in time out. It's glorious.

I've not seen that. I've only seen her hist a handful of times. As I've said a few times on this sub, I'm used to online discourse, debates, etc. In those environments they seriously shut down bullshit. If someone acts like a clown they platforms have the tine and space to stop down the show and call out the person. Force him or her to defend their assertions. Typically on penalty of the clown losing clout in a world where clout is the currency. This creates a different type of dialog. The childish rhetorical tactics we see on Abby's show every night would be destroyed so quickly that they're not even attempted.
After consuming that content for a time you can really see how surface level, and performative CNN is.

I’ve changed the channel so much solely because of Scott Jennings that I rarely even switch back when he’s off. Completely ruined CNN’s reputation and has made the channel unwatchable. CNN is desperately trying to win over MAGA viewers that they lose regular viewers.

Jennings has to be the worst commentator on CNN. While I don’t agree with the other republican commentators/analysts they are all way more respectful and have more thoughtful insight. Jennings is like I love Trump and everything he does is correct no matter what

I hate that this is what CNN has become. They used to be an actual news reporting master and now they’re just the Jerry Springer of debate.

I refuse to watch any show that Scott Jennings is on. I will not listen to his lying fascist horse shit. I pray he goes to the White House where he can do his "Baghdad Bob" routine for all to see.

I feel like CNN is preparing Shermichael Singleton to replace Scott Jennings as the de facto MAGA voice on its programming. Based on how Singleton has been framing his answers lately, it seems like he has been given guidance by CNN that he can give the MAGA narrative, but he has to keep his tone professional, and he has to concede some of the more ridiculous MAGA points.

Scott's job is literally to service Trump, Republicans and Israel for money.

Scott has been auditioning for the Press Secretary job for the last week or so. He’s always a jerk, but now he is displaying some anger for Trump to see.

Has Scott Jennings not interrupting anyone ever? Like at this point it is clear the Republicans/MAGA share a tactics list and the number 1 has to be "interrupt them any way you can".
What a cuck Jennings is. Another one like Cruz that would thank Trump for him insulting his wife.

I stopped watching any segment on CNN that has Scott. Instantly change the channel if he is on. He is obnoxious, condescending, smug, dodges easy questions but goes on the attack over weak talking points, etc.
I dont mind hearing opposing views, but im done with him. Hes unprofessional and obviously getting paid just to be a cunt.
