February 17, 2025: Scott Pelley, Now TV’s Top Trump Hater

Donald Trump never gets any credit for granting broad access to the press. Team Biden was never blamed for avoiding them. That's because journalists don't care about their own access. They care about the Democrats winning. They're partisan team players, not nonpartisan watchdogs. 

When you as a liberal Democrat have lost CNN’s Abby Phillip and your protest gets LITERALLY laughed at live on CNN air, it may be a sign that your ability to influence coverage of the day’s events is waning. This was the reaction garnered by Congressional Democrats’ protest outside the headquarters of the dying United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The Elon Musk Salute Hoax marches on, with all manner of Resistance Media types falling over themselves to be seen as being on “the right side” of the Nazi salute that wasn’t. In the most recent instance, New York Times reporter Lulú García-Navarro hilariously gets called a “Salute Truther” by CNN commentator Scott Jennings.

In between live coverage of the signing of executive orders and the various inaugural galas, the cable channels tried to squeeze in some of their usual discussion fare. The outcomes of these went as one would expect.

Washington Post economics columnist Catherine Rampell lashed out Thursday afternoon at SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly and blamed her for threats and ugly words being hurled her way after Kelly shelled her for smearing Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth as merely a “TV host” and thus tossing aside his 20 years of boots-on-the-ground military service. This, dear readers, is what one…

CNN’s post-Biden speech analysis was decidedly much less sycophantic than MSNBC’s, by virtue of the fact that they had an actual conservative on the panel: Scott Jennings, who wasted absolutely no time laying waste both to Biden’s speech, and to his legacy.

On CNN’s “Thunderdome”, more commonly known as NewsNight with Abby Phillip, the conversation over the response to California’s catastrophic wildfires inevitably led to Donald Trump. To be more precise: pre-imputing a bad response to a man who is still days away from taking power as President of the United States.

CNN’s live coverage of Congress’s election certification on Monday included a panel of various hosts and commentators reminiscing about the dramatic events of January 6th, 2021. Amid the faux hysterics, sympathy for Vice President Kamala Harris, and somber attitudes, Scott Jennings prevailed as a voice of reason, providing some much-needed reality checks to his fellow panelists.

Part of the reason that there is a crisis of confidence in the media is because of the sense of absolute moral certitude with which they look down upon anyone who strays from the preordained consensus, even as they themselves spit out active disinformation. As CNN’s Abby Phillip demonstrates, sometimes these efforts fail hilariously.

Thursday’s CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip — perhaps the most toxic show on television after ABC’s The View — beclowned itself with an opening block of host Abby Phillip, CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers, and the cartoonishly faux journalist Catherine Rampell of The Washington Post lectured former GOP Senate candidate Jeff Bartos and the great Scott Jennings with claims about…

Over at CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, AKA “The Thunderdome”, Scott Jennings delivered a dose of brutal truth to the panel discussing coverage of all manner of things related to the alleged shooter of the CEO of UnitedHealthCare. Some shooters are covered differently than others, and reasonable people may wonder whether there is a (D)ifference in how they are covered.

On Monday’s CNN NewsNight (aka the CNN Thunderdome) sunk to a predictable low as, helmed by fill-in host Audie Cornish, the leftists loons argued Daniel Penny was no different than Luigi Mangione, the alleged murderer of UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. Worse yet, they claimed Penny protecting fellow New York subway riders from Jordan Neely a case of “vigilante action” and…

During the panel portion of the most recent broadcast of CNN State of the Union, conservative commentator Scott Jennings absolutely unloaded on the Biden administration over their duplicity with regard to the pardon of Hunter Biden, and called the media out over their seeming unwillingness to hold The White House accountable.
