For instance, the Washington Post has taken a decidedly more positive approach to Trump, and even paid $40 million for the rights to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68791\" target=\"_blank\">the flopping <em>&#8220;Melania&#8221;<\/em> crockumentary<\/a><\/strong>. ABC News paid millions of dollars to Trump as a settlement (aka bribe) for a meritless lawsuit. CBS News has been censoring their stories, their reporters, and even their late night comedians. <\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68872\" target=\"_blank\">NICE WORK CBS! Banning the Steven Colbert Interview with James Talarico, Got Them Way More Views<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The granddaddy of cable news networks, CNN, apparently doesn&#8217;t want to be left out. Which might explain why they keep someone like Scott Jennings on the payroll. Jennings appears on CNN panel shows to add his knee-jerk adulation of all things Trump. His contributions consist mainly of disseminating lies, insulting his colleagues on the panel, interrupting everybody, including the host, Abby Phillip, and exalting Dear Leader Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings was demonstrating all of that on Friday during a discussion of the Supreme Court decision striking down Trump&#8217;s idiotic, inflationary, and illegal tariffs. During an exchange with liberal pundit, Keith Boykin, Jennings revealed precisely where his loyalties lie. And Boykin wasn&#8217;t having it&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Keith Boykin:<\/strong> That was a very charitable explanation of what took place today, Scott. You should be paid a lot of money from the Trump administration for helping to&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>Jennings:<\/strong> No, I get paid a lot of money here.<br \/>\n<strong>Boykin:<\/strong> I know you do. And other places too. But you should be paid by the Trump administration for what you said because the reality is that the president didn\u2019t just accept the ruling like you said he did.\u201d<br \/>\n<strong>Jennings:<\/strong> Yes, he did.<br \/>\n<strong>Boykin:<\/strong> No. He got up there in the press conference today, and he attacked the U.S. Supreme Court justices. He said that they should be embarrassed for their families for making a decision that stood up to him. He attacked them and said they were disloyal and unpatriotic. He said they were disloyal to the Constitution. That\u2019s more than disagreement. That\u2019s irresponsible rhetoric.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:5o6k7jvowuyaquloafzn3cfw\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mfdooup6bc2h\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiadiqxxnfxu67qic2xtegc6ycql7iiq4bnpx6kmfxzpdobn2d3zb4\">\n<p lang=\"en\">WATCH \u2014 @keithboykin.bsky.social  : \u201cThat was a very charitable explanation.

Jennings is a shameless mouthpiece for Trump and his regime. No matter what atrocity Trump might be responsible for, Jennings defends him. That includes Trump&#8217;s unsavory relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and his refusal to release all of the Epstein files.<\/p>\n<p>Who knows? Maybe Trump is already compensating Jennings under the table for his adulatory advocacy. Maybe he&#8217;s getting some bitcoin deposits that are untraceable. Jennings has been considering a run for the Senate in Kentucky, and perhaps Trump has expressed his interest in endorsing him.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, CNN has no business providing Jennings with a platform for his propaganda. That&#8217;s what Fox News is for. There are plenty of conservative pundits who are not such pitifully worshipful adherents to the cult of Trump, and who could deliver far more rational perspectives of the conservative point of view than the childish insults and attacks that Jennings specializes in.<\/p>\n<p>CNN should fire Jennings immediately. Not for his political views. but for his hostility, his lies, his disrespect for the host and all other women on the program, and his smug admission that he&#8217;s only in it for the money. CNN doesn&#8217;t need any of that, And neither does their audience.
