"I'm fairly confident that this column will get me banned from CNN's airwaves. CNN once sold itself as the grown-up in the room. It was the network you turned to when the stakes got real. That reputation earned over decades was built on restraint, seriousness, and a basic respect for viewers, she wrote. Which is why CNN's continued reliance on Scott Jennings is not just baffling, but corrosive to its brand."
"On air, Jennings does not debate; he blathers. He talks over women with particular frequency, interrupts relentlessly, and treats panel discussions as contests of volume and obstinacy, rather than as exchanges of ideas. He mugs to the camera and rolls his eyes, while calling any fact he does not like a lie. It is performative obstruction the cable news equivalent of flipping the board when you're losing the game, she wrote."
Julie Roginsky launched a public, forceful critique of Scott Jennings and of CNN's reliance on him as a conservative voice. She warned that speaking out could cost her future appearances and framed CNN as once being a restrained, serious outlet. She accused Jennings of performing rather than debating: talking over women, interrupting, mugging for the camera, rolling his eyes, and calling inconvenient facts lies. She described that pattern as performative obstruction and argued that CNN now allows falsehoods to linger if delivered with sufficient bluster, undermining the network's credibility and brand.
