CNN has once again delivered a prime slice of entertainment, this time serving up a panel discussion that can only be described as a meltdown over the First Amendment and the supposed chaos unleashed by Elon Musk’s stewardship of Twitter. The conversation veered towards the alleged evils of free speech in the digital age, while also tossing in rumors of the struggling MSNBC potentially hitting the market after its gruesome audience numbers made headlines. When Scott Jennings joined the fray, he wasted no time poking the bear, questioning how much regulation of the First Amendment his colleagues deemed acceptable.
In a twist that would make even a seasoned comedian chuckle, Cari Champion took center stage with a response that could only be characterized as a full-blown tantrum. It was as if the entire panel’s control over the narrative slipped through their fingers like sand. Champion lamented over the chaotic atmosphere on Twitter, claiming that the Left’s grip on information had loosened, leaving them flailing. Wrapped in what could only be described as vapid intellectual jargon, she whined about the professional standard of not calling each other names—conveniently ignoring the much more colorful rhetoric often tossed around on the very platforms they now criticize. It’s almost laughable to suggest that Twitter users should adhere to the same decorum as paid journalists when those journalists are, let’s face it, known for their lack of honesty.
"This election is something of an indictment on the political information complex. The story that was portrayed was not true. We were just ignoring the fundamentals."

What really unveils the Leftist playbook is their predictable panic when they sense a loss of control over the narrative. With Twitter now appearing more balanced than ever, Jennings pointed this out and was met with gasps of dismay. To further stoke the flames, when asked for a source to back up his assertion, Jennings humorously noted that the information came from…wait for it…CNN. The irony dripped thicker than the coffee in the break room—one could practically hear the crickets in response.
Then there’s the ongoing debate about billionaires owning media outlets, which also falls flat. Take, for instance, The Washington Post and its owner, Jeff Bezos. This panel seemed oddly unconcerned about the implications of a left-leaning billionaire’s influence over what information people consume. It’s almost as if the rules change depending on who’s at the helm. For them, when a liberal millionaire decides to snatch up a media platform, it’s all sunshine and rainbows, because, apparently, they must be all-knowing and benevolent.
Meanwhile, Jim Geraghty deserves a round of applause for dropping the ever-important fact that Microsoft had a hand in creating MSNBC. Perhaps if these so-called journalists stopped obsessing over the state of Twitter and put their energy into acknowledging the realities of their industry, they might find answers to the concerns they claim to champion. Until then, the drama at CNN is destined to remain an entertaining spectacle, highlighting the fragility of their ideological bubble.
