Left wing media analyst Oliver Darcy, formerly of CNN, is reporting that the people who work at the Trump-hating network don’t like Scott Jennings, the only conservative voice on staff.
Darcy, who broke into the news business by writing for conservative outlets like Campus Reform, used to work with noted potato Brian Stelter on media reporting, before leaving the network to launch his own media newsletter, which is popular with liberal journos.
Darcy claims that other people at CNN have complained to management about Scott Jennings.
NewsBusters reports:
Writing Monday night at his newsletter site Status, former conservative reporter-turned-snake Oliver Darcy beclowned himself by tag-teaming with a cadre of anonymous sources inside his former employer CNN to claim our friend, talk radio host, MRC Bulldog Award winner, and senior political commentator Scott Jennings has become isolated in CNN with guests increasingly canceling on the network so as not have to associate with him.
His claim? He told readers that “CNN leadership being made aware of the concerns” he’s become for other commentators and “actual journalists” considering his weekend scoop on X that U.S. intelligence had predicted Iran would attack U.S. military targets.
Darcy whined in his piece “CNN’s Cosplaying Correspondent” that a quad-bylined, anonymously-sourced CNN.com story — featuring obsequious Deep State tool Natasha Bertrand — “pour[ed] cold water on a claim anonymously peddled by the Trump administration that had ricocheted across MAGA Media…that Iran was not planning to launch an unprovoked strike on U.S. forces in the Middle East.”…
He then insisted Jennings’s X post “did not sit well with many of CNN’s actual journalists” and “some…were frustrated, to put it mildly, that Jennings had stepped outside his lane of punditry and used his platform to credulously amplify absurd anonymous claims…that CNN’s own journalists quickly undercut.”
The funniest thing about that last part is that the liberal media loves to use anonymous sources to smear Trump.
Just to give you a reminder, this is the type of reporting that Darcy does.
