Few things better exemplify the inability of the left to tolerate contrary viewpoints than the recent struggle session framed as an "Internal Town Hall" when CNN CEO Mark Thompson was confronted by leftist staffers who claimed they were offended by the existence on their network of conservative commentator Scott Jennings. It seems they agreed with recent NewsNight guest Cameron Kasky, who arrogantly declared to Jennings that he was somehow not permitted to use the term "illegal alien" despite the fact it is a legal term written into immigration law. The left-leaning Daily Beast went into further detail about the CNN town hall/struggle session/confrontation on Friday

Your thoughts, comments, and ideas are always welcome here. But we ask you to please be mindful and respectful. Threatening or crude language doesn't persuade anybody and makes the conversation less enjoyable for fellow L.Dotters.
These idiots don't realize that CNN's ratings would be even lower without Scott Jennings.

There’s a workable alternative here, which is that CNN simply fires all the staffers who arrogantly demand Jennings be let go. Problem solved!

I suspect the idiot staffers did not know who Jefferson Davis was since all democrats seem to be making the same arguments and following the same tactics of the Confederacy. See this is what happens when you are ill educated and live in a bubble as do all these CNN morons.

Liberals just can't stand an opinion that contradicts their own. It must be removed or they'll stamp their feet and hold their breath until they get their way.

Scott should be demanding twenty raises for keeping CNN afloat.

If the staffers were capable of making persuasive arguments to challenge Jennings, they would. Their problem is that Jennings knows what he's talking about and has a relaxed and confident way of challenging their arguments. It seems odd that one guy presents such a threat to trained professionals, that they're calling for HIS removal. Real debates take preparation. It's not the fault of conservatives that the left has gotten away with suppressing views they don't like, and are struggling to deal with better prepared opponents like Jennings.

They world much rather have pretend conservatives to agree with (debate) like Shepard Smith or Bill Buckley.

Dear SkyDance,
If you want to reduce the asking price of CNN, Hear is some advice.
Hire Scott Jennings for another gig somewhere. Then sit back and watch CNN's value drop.
Then put him back at the network along with a couple of other like minded, levelheaded, honest people.
Looking forward to the carnage.

They can also be called illegal migrants.
They are migrants and they are illegally in the USA.

Those CNN staffers are facist virture signallers who, for some inexplicable reason, fail to recognize they' re imposing the very fascism they say they are 'resisting'. Their heads are full of ideology and they will always seek to fit the 'facts' their stories are about to the narrative they forever preach.

The products of higher education systems that gave away A's without merit. In real life, they are not prepared to engage in true debate. Jennings is prepared and ready to challenge the liberal orthodoxy and some can't handle the truth.

I can sympathize. It's tough to associate with someone who can run intellectual rings around you and ends up making you prove yourself a fool because "because I say so" is not a rational argument.
Since Trump was reelected, the Left has collapsed into blatantly obvious absurdity. Since no one likes to be seen as absurd and Jennings spotlights their natural absurdity, they hate him for it.

But..... But....... the Left is all about DEI... and the 'I' in DEI stands for 'Inclusion' does it not?
It seems that the CNN Lefties are not very Inclusive, are they?

Bring Scott Jennings over to Fox and let the Communist News Network fade away.

Scott should lodge a complaint with CNN stating that he is offended by the leftist staffers.
CNN should tell the leftist staffers to resign and start their own news network or STHL.
