CNN Shuts Down Scott Jennings Over Shameful Jimmy Kimmel Remarks

CNN’s John Berman abruptly interrupted GOP commentator Scott Jennings during a debate regarding free speech and the unexpected cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel by Disney. On September 17, ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was pulled from the air after comments from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel's take on Charlie Kirk's tragic death. Viewers were taken aback by this decision, asserting that Kimmel's remarks were neither incendiary nor extreme. Petitions to reinstate the show are circulating, and former President Barack Obama took to X to express concerns regarding "government coercion" and heightened censorship.In response, Jennings labeled Kimmel’s program a “political propaganda show” and argued that the comedian should be held accountable for misinforming audiences.Berman countered by pointing out the context of Kimmel's commentary, noting it aimed to critique Trump’s irrelevant response to Kirk’s death, leaving Jennings visibly unsettled as Berman seamlessly transitioned the dialogue.
