Scarlett Jennings is one of the prime reasons I quit CNN (many months ago) after being a loyal viewer for many years

themattbass.bsky.social•45 days ago

Why they feel the need to employ him just to kick off reactionary behavior from others….

bholten.bsky.social•45 days ago

So if he blames the “Liberals who run the state” for the wildfires are we to blame DeSantis when a hurricane hits Florida????

docspkfree.bsky.social•45 days ago

The most annoying and smug ahole on CNN Scott Jennings

jamie-piscitelli.bsky.social•44 days ago

If Pee-Wee Herman and Anita Bryant had a baby and threw it down a flight of stairs it would have grown up to be the corporate bullshit dispenser known as Scott Jennings. His wife's name is actually Autumn Stiff. Sounds like a product offered by Hims.

carouzzz.bsky.social•44 days ago

Total putz

In the inimitable style of Lou Grant, you've got spunk! Thank you!

joegood.bsky.social•45 days ago

We could probably blame the fires on “wind bag” Scott Jennings, he’s full hot air, and clearly out classed by the women on this panel, he’s literally CNN’s DEI, otherwise he wouldn’t be on any program.

catherinebyers.bsky.social•44 days ago

The guy is pathetic.

w1rral.bsky.social•45 days ago

I can’t watch panel shows with Scott on any more; not since he accused other panelists of being hyperbolic when they were literally pointing out what Trump had said he would do; and is now doing.
I honestly don’t know what CNN thinks they get from having him everywhere.

ginsengity.bsky.social•44 days ago

By himself he's about 90% of the reason I rarely watch that network anymore. He's not very bright.

belmontx2.bsky.social•45 days ago

Silly me, I thought the fires were due to unprecedented high winds & lack of rainfall. (FWIW I'm a few miles downwind of the Palisades.)

davidw38.bsky.social•45 days ago

@cnn.com What the hell is wrong with you!

krisdodd.bsky.social•45 days ago

CNN is not worth watching anymore. Some hosts don’t hesitate to call a spade, a spade but most of their content is a waste of time. Substack is where it’s at now! Follow the sources you like.

nedwilcox.bsky.social•45 days ago

I'm all for CNN broadcasting diverse opinions, but Jennings has just become a right-wing knee jerk clown. Fire him.

deenieloo.bsky.social•45 days ago

This guy is such a fecking horse's ass.

msharrell.bsky.social•45 days ago

Something, something, mediocre white men blah, blah 🙄

idajo.bsky.social•45 days ago

This wastrel should be treated like the spoiled brat who barges into the living room where adults are convening. Let him sqawk, then carry on as if he were invisible. "So, as I was saying..."

corwin007.bsky.social•45 days ago

He's made of teflon. reason cannot stick to this guy. Jasmine lays out a perfectly reasoned argument but all he hears is blah, blah, blah, she's black, blah, blah, blah.

forrepdemruleoflaw.bsky.social•45 days ago

He gets worse & worse. I don’t watch cable news much anymore, but I refuse to watch CNN when Jennings or any of the Trump liars are on. [I know, “Trump liars” is redundantly repetitive.]

tinamaltz.bsky.social•45 days ago

@cnn.com, you can do better. There’s the ‘other side’ and then there’s b*llshit! Jennings has to go!

corabora5.bsky.social•45 days ago

He's exasperating.

bostonmac.bsky.social•44 days ago

What is with CNN and Scott Jennings? He is a buffoon! If they are trying to bring DEI to the table, they’re failing!

epedder.bsky.social•45 days ago

What is the point of Scott Jennings?

jamie-piscitelli.bsky.social•44 days ago

And THAT...is the point of Scott Jennings! Neah, I dunno.

pohlcat.bsky.social•45 days ago

Jennings is CNN’s version of WaPo’s Hugh Hewitt.

No value added as a Conservative voice. Rather, a MAGA shill.

Both are (and were, for Hewitt) the both-sides-ism that harms the mediums that give them voice.

Do better.

plantlvr.bsky.social•45 days ago

He must have a bet on how many times he can fit DEI into a sentence

xdxj.bsky.social•45 days ago

Is anyone keeping a tally on who MAGA is blaming. So far I have:

Newsome
Biden
Democrats
DEI
Fish

Waiting for them to blame China, Ukraine, Mexico, and Canada

david-stone.bsky.social•45 days ago

Why do people still tune in to CNN? It looks to have the flavor of an WWE broadcast. Is that the appeal?

Hell if I know.

nutmeggirl.bsky.social•45 days ago

He is such a POS. They need to fire him.

kimbernotthegun.bsky.social•44 days ago

Do Scott & his ilk believe Red state fires are also due to mismanagement? That fires breaking out all over the world are due to mismanagement?

dialysisnurse.bsky.social•45 days ago

Add him to the embarrassments representing Kentucky

devokneivel.bsky.social•44 days ago

He has the same twisted smirk as Mr Potter in Its a Wonderful Life.

studio528.bsky.social•45 days ago

Jennings is always a prepared script of trumpy gaslighting lies. CNN is no different than Fox delivering propaganda. Shameful!

whitluce.bsky.social•45 days ago

He had a down-at-the mouth expression that said, shit, I’m getting schooled

jeffreymkirk.bsky.social•45 days ago

While Crockett isn't my own rep (that'd be @repcasar.bsky.social, who's also great), I am very, very happy to watch my fellow Texan tear Trump apologists / racist DEI opponents a new asshole each & every time she's on the air.

joey519.bsky.social•45 days ago

@cnn.com loses all credibility when it continues to emply this loser.

daves211.bsky.social•45 days ago

I think what’s most important here is to recognize that CNN management does not see an ethical question in platforming people like Jennings. No doubt, their threshold for liars and bigots is worsening, and they show no effort to change the downward spiral.

daves211.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is exactly why I can’t watch CNN any more. At the very least, have another Republican rep, but not pundits. Jennings doesn’t have to answer to a constituency, and it’s pretty clear that he feels free to say anything. There’s no accountability for spreading lies on CNN’s air. It’s a free for all

daves211.bsky.social•45 days ago

I don’t see why “journalists” need to have pundits offering opinions on these shows. Why can’t news outlets just report the news? Begs the question, is it news or opinion.

These aren’t objective POVs. Jennings, for example, has zero integrity and will defend the worst behavior.

thistooshallpass.bsky.social•45 days ago

These shows have become so tiresome.

lindaisee.bsky.social•45 days ago

Jennings is revolting. Why would any media outlet allow him the opportunity to spread disinformation?

happybeachvibes.bsky.social•45 days ago

We should actually be shaming @cnn.com for having this racist, bigot, misogynist on with Abby Phillips every night. We haven’t watched CNN since 2016 and we haven’t watched MSNBC since the election…..we get all our news off the Apple News

daves211.bsky.social•45 days ago

CNN management is the problem. Only unethical people of poor character would consider these interactions as news or worthwhile viewpoints.

ttownwa.bsky.social•45 days ago

Dude, Jennings is a f#@×÷= twat.
I self censor my CNN tv time now (except for you, Rampell, select others ...i want to keep my TV working. CNN is becoming FOX Lite

peterglover.com•45 days ago

Is there even any sane claim that the firefighters are performing poorly here?

How broken does his worldview have to be to blame the fire on the firefighters (over DEI, no less)?

thatguyinatl.bsky.social•45 days ago

@cnn.com needs to fire Scott Jennings. I have stopped watching them because every time they have a good conversation starting up the camera swings to him and he spews his fascist verbal diarrhea all over it.

joegood.bsky.social•45 days ago

Exactly

phillippropmgr.bsky.social•45 days ago

He’s a waste of oxygen

phillippropmgr.bsky.social•45 days ago

Pure MAGA not an original thought. MAGA GOOD DEMOCRATS BAD. ME SCOTT.

justksmith.bsky.social•45 days ago

Jennings is a first-class jackass

markslavkin.bsky.social•45 days ago

Our Los Angeles Mayor & fire chief are accomplished and talented women. Our Mayor Karen Bass is Black. I see sexism and racism in the sad efforts to blame “DEI” for the tragic fires. The fire department budget was not cut. We still need a full investigation of how the disaster reached this size

plunderdog903.bsky.social•45 days ago

You know that fetid liquid that collects at the bottom of a garbage bag on a really hot day? Scott Jennings is a little worse than that.

chasewarner.bsky.social•45 days ago

He really is just despicable. True ogre.

hapynobody.bsky.social•45 days ago

Jasmine Crockett is one of the best!

mattlupoli.bsky.social•44 days ago

Yes, and that CNN continues to amplify that tiresome nonsense isn’t constructive. His views aren’t conservative, they’re stupid.

charlievincent89.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is CNN’s fault. Jennings adds nothing to the conversation. He’s a mindless contrarian.

giangaleazzo.bsky.social•45 days ago

I don't think it is appropriate to call people who say this sort of thing "conservative". That's not really what they are. I think "zombie" is a better fit.

johnmaun.bsky.social•45 days ago

Jennings is a paid putz whose nose needs to be rearranged.

jorge314.bsky.social•45 days ago

A year or year and a half ago he was against Trump but now he is his most ardent supporter. Sad how these fools will do anything in order to pay the bills.

gstew.bsky.social•44 days ago

It is on CNN to make a determination as to whether they need to show both sides when one of the sides is unabashed bigotry. They have made that determination and that is why I refuse to consume their product.

kbypm.bsky.social•45 days ago

They really hate women and BIPOC don’t they? And now they don’t even need to hide it. 😞

jmitchelldalton.bsky.social•44 days ago

The perplexed facial expressions and disingenuous double takes are getting old.

tedhess-mahan.bsky.social•44 days ago

Check @repjasmine.bsky.social's cupboard for the jar with Scott Jennings' balls in it.

leohar.bsky.social•44 days ago

What a smug pos…every day ya see him somewhere on CNN…yes he sometimes has a couple good/correct points…but overall just another GOP/Trump apologist dick…it’s like they have a Fox News ‘fact checker’ on their panels

talkinchet.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m so glad you said “obvi.” I knew there were others.

biftrotter.bsky.social•45 days ago

I just read Rep. Kevin Kiley's recitation of Republican talking points. 💩

nobledawn.bsky.social•45 days ago

God I hate that man so much

bobtre.bsky.social•45 days ago

When will CNN send this piece of crap packing? He never offers anything constructive. It’s always hyper critical of democrats even if it’s a republican mess. CNN wants to be fair but it’s just getting unwatchable.

schadenfreude666.bsky.social•45 days ago

Kara...did you know Scott Jennings is a ratings killer.....and the idiots at CNN don't even realize it....

muttski9999.bsky.social•44 days ago

It's southern California, where the hell are they going to get enough white men to completely staff the fire department?

joellevinyc.bsky.social•44 days ago

Can’t stand him, love her. But this is all bullshit. We learn nothing from these panels and face-offs. Reporting costs money. Instead CNN hires this turd. Ratings Engagement Money. Turn off CNN. Ignore them.

farmboy-prog.bsky.social•44 days ago

He is the primary reason I won’t watch CNN anymore. Such a POS!

paulmcentire.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’d replace Jennings for 10% of his pay. It would be easy as what says is equally predictable and despicable.

lanceboil.bsky.social•44 days ago

The sooner CNN dumps the unctuous turd-polisher, Jennings, the better. I am disappointed that Abby Phillip tolerates him.
At the very least, CNN should have Jasmine Crockett on every time Jennings appears.

lanceboil.bsky.social•44 days ago

I'd also like to see full transparency to see how much CNN pays Jennings to appear and how much they pay Crockett and other elected officials.

carole-62-angel.bsky.social•45 days ago

Amen to this. I have said this exact thing so often, I got tired of it.

susanmazzucco.bsky.social•45 days ago

Someone take that smirk off Scott’s face!

marylou13.bsky.social•45 days ago

ONE OF MANY REASONS I QUIT WATCHING CNN MANY YEARS AGO.. JASMINE YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!

cindsu.bsky.social•45 days ago

This show is unwatchable with him on it.

mesay.bsky.social•45 days ago

She didn’t even need to go there. It was much simpler than that—they were trying to get more recruits and realized, hey, maybe let’s reach out to more people to expand our pool of good candidates. Pure economics, good management.
