and how CNN has basically made him into an idiotic Republican version of Simon Cal. I hate that guy and I feel CNN has made him into a star by trying to paint the narrative that he's a cool contrarian while the liberals he argues with are out of touch.

I would like to see Scott Jennings debate some real progressives from Youtube such as Kyle Kulinski, Sam Seder but CNN would never have those progressives on to expose clowns like Jennings. This is why I never watch CNN because they don't get true real progressives to fight against the Scott Jennings of the world.
