Scott Jennings has revealed he has signed an extension to remain with CNN, and has also shared he doesn’t find a move to a network like Fox News appealing.
In an interview with the Strongsville, Ohio GOP, Jennings was asked why he continues to appear on CNN and if he’d have any interest in joining a network like Fox News, which would better align with his political beliefs.
He said that doesn’t interest him.
“Well, I’m quite happy with CNN,” said Jennings. “In fact, I just re-signed with them … My contract was up, and they offered me a new contract, and I was happy to sign it. I’ll be honest with you, I think I was put on this earth to debate liberals. And CNN, right now, is where we’re doing it. I think that’s the highest and best use of my time in the media.
“I’ll be honest: I think sometimes TV is a little boring when it’s just six people sitting around agreeing with each other,” Jennings continued. “What we’re doing on CNN, especially at 10 o’clock, is having authentic debates. And I think when conservatives are allowed to authentically debate in that kind of an environment, it helps the movement.”
Scott Jennings has seen his profile grow in recent months due to his work on CNN. Most notably, he has sparred with other panelists in the 10 PM ET window during NewsNight with Abby Phillip, with his comments routinely going viral. He also recently launched a nationally syndicated news/talk radio show with Salem Radio Network.
In spite of constantly clashing with his CNN co-horts, Jennings spoke highly of the program and his colleagues.
“It’s the most unique show and I don’t think there’s anything like it on cable television,” Jennings added.
