MSNBC Host Skewers Scott Jennings as ‘Paid Liar’ for Trump
Lawrence O’Donnell tore into CNN for hiring someone who believes “lying for Donald Trump on TV is an honorable pursuit.”

Tom Sanders

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell launched a scathing critique of CNN’s Scott Jennings, accusing the MAGA pundit of being a paid liar for Donald Trump and proof of the network’s decline.

O’Donnell’s take on CNN’s stewardship under Trump-supporting CEO Mark Thompson singled out Jennings for his unscrupulous views.

Following the departure of veteran reporters such as Jim Acosta earlier this year, “everyone who remains has become much more careful in anything they might even think of saying about Donald Trump,” O’Donnell said on The Last Word.

From that void emerged Jennings, he continued, who CNN “eagerly pays to lie every day and every night for Donald Trump.”

1. Scott is very devious and clever, CNN spends way too much time showing the disrespecting faces he makes when

others are speaking, CNN really disgusts me, don't get me started on Wolf Blitzer

[Grim Chieftain]

2. Lawrence O'Donnell is one of the best

Honesty, integrity, and courage. We need him now more than ever.

[returnee]

19. And intelligence.... nt

3. Bravo!!! I guessed that was Lawrence before I clicked on this.

[AverageOldGuy]

4. I like Lawrence

Mainly because he doesn’t give a goddam who he pisses off so he goes for the jugular.

[Gum Logger]

5. I am a custom to the term paid shill

6. It was the best opening segment ever!

[Bozvotros]

7. Lawrence is the best at tearing chunks off Trump everytime he is on air.

His monologues on Trump are masterpieces of oratory psychosurgery on Trump using a scalpel and a meat mallet and I find it very rewarding watching him do it.

8. The Last Word

O’Donnell let fly on the air,
At CNN’s pundit with flair.
He said with a frown,
“That network’s gone down—
They’ll pay for a lie without care!”

Scott Jennings, a MAGA-tied name,
Was branded a Trumpster of shame.
“His truth,” Lawrence cried,
“Is bought, not supplied—
A torch for the liar’s flame!”

With Acosta and veterans gone,
A hush fell where bold words shone.
Now anchors take care
With each thought they might share—
Lest Trump’s wrath descend at dawn.

Mark Thompson, once hailed as a pro,
Now steers where red winds blow.
“From fairness they veer,
For Trump’s crowd to cheer,”
O’Donnell said, “down they go.”

“The Last Word” lived up to its name,
As Lawrence delivered his flame.
Of CNN’s plight,
He said, “Day and night,
They’re renting their truth for the game.”

20. gfarber does it again!!!

Another great, AND greatly relevant, commentary in poetry!

[MayReasonRule]

24. Well Done Indeed!

9. Jennings is a regular columnist

for the LA Times 🤮 I cancelled my subscription as it got increasingly trumpy.

22. Another weirdo billionaire buys a famous weekly publication as a hobby

Sick rich f6cks. Should be taxed at 90% like under Ike! The last decent Republican.

10. Words fail me when it comes to describing Scotty-boy

But it's somewhere in the vector of "Snarky"
Scotty's M-O is to answer questions that have not been asked, to change-the-subject, to answer questions with a question, to Gish-gallop, to flood the zone with what-about-isms, to talk-over other panelists ... ugh.
And that smirk on his face ... he doesn't believe a damn thing he's saying. He's there to toss-out half-baked notions in order to get people riled-up. That's why Mark Thompson/CNN pays him the big bucks.

By the way, have you ever seen the Scott-ster in a sit-down one-to-one with someone intelligent and articulate?
Yeah.
Me neither.

11. Jennings can hit 90 mph fastballs.

But, for "reasons," we either don't play our best pitchers at all, or we tell our best pitchers to throw underhand. We have a few who can keep Jennings off base. Personally, it bums me out every time I watch him. We have winning arguments, and we keep choosing the ones that lose.

Jessica Tarlov shows signs of becoming the Jennings for our side. I'm rooting for her. I think O'Donnell, unfortunately, just serves up meatballs.

[bromeando]

12. CNN

I won't be watching CNN anymore

[Ursus Rex]

13. Seeing him on a panel is a guaranteed "no"

he is unapologetically false and a bit smirky for me

[Initech]

14. It's truly frightening how fast our media outlets are flipping to MAGA fascism.

Fuck Trump and fuck MAGA!

[czarjak]

15. Scottie blocked me a loooong time ago!

You will not deny his righteous righteous indignation fhough. Period!
"Any means necessary." They meant it.

[shanti]

16. Lawrence was on the top of his game last night!

Watch if you can, it was fire!

[Cha]

17. TY Kick for LO'D! nt

[GoodRaisin]

18. Back when I used to turn on CNN I turned it right back off

when I saw Scott Jennings sitting in the discussion.

[wolfie001]

21. I'm thinking the corporate toadies and suck-ups at MSNBC cower before this real American!!!

F6ck Diaper Don and his sycophantic bootlickers.

23. Lawrence is the best

He’s been a truth tell her since the very start
