Lawrence O’Donnell Slams ‘Degraded’ CNN for Paying ‘Rabid’ Scott Jennings to ‘Lie’ About Trump

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Slams ‘Degraded’ CNN for Paying ‘Rabid’ Scott Jennings to ‘Lie’ About Trump
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell slammed CNN on Monday as an “absurdly degraded” network as he blasted its CEO, Mark Thompson, for paying “rabid” conservative pundit Scott Jennings to “lie about Donald Trump.”

O’Donnell’s tirade came as he discussed media moguls playing to President Trump to seal business mergers before he argued the rival network, too, was “compromised” and used Jennings as a case in point.

CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery’s stock jumped last week after CEO David Zaslav revealed that the company has attracted “multiple parties” interested in a potential acquisition. The disclosure came as the media giant announced its board had launched a “strategic review” following recent “unsolicited interest.”
