Growing up as part of Generation X, there was one public service announcement every kid remembers. It was the famous marijuana commercial. A father confronts his son holding a box of weed that he found and asks him where he learned about smoking the Devil's lettuce. The uncomfortable child tries making some excuses but eventually turns to his father and shouts, 'You, alright? I learned it by watching you!'
{Embedded Video - Anti-Drug PSA}
We're not sure if the PSA was effective or not because it mostly made us laugh more than anything.
But watching Scott Jennings once again destroy his fellow panelists last night on CNN, we were reminded of this 80s PSA because Jennings basically just used CNN's own reports against them.
Jennings was discussing the left's favorite boogeyman, Elon Musk, with host Audie Cornish and guest Cari Champion, who were claiming that Twitter has veered far right under Musk's ownership. Jennings counted by saying (accurately) that Twitter is the most balanced information source of any social media platform or news network.
When Champion demanded to know where Jennings got such ludicrous information, his answer was simplicity itself. Watch:

CNN: "Who's your source that 𝕏 is more balanced than any other platform?"
Jennings: "Uh, CNN"

OUCH ... you CNN rubes just got owned! ROTFLMAO!
LOL. Oops.
'Where did you get this survey information, Scott Jennings?'
'From you, alright? I learned it by watching you!'
And just in case you were wondering if Jennings made any of that up, he did not. Here is CNN just one week ago reporting the results of a user survey indicating that Twitter (or X) is about as balanced as statistically possible.
Byron York (@ByronYork) ~ CNN reports that X, under Elon Musk, is far more ideologically balanced than it was as Twitter. It looks like America! Making money, too.

Those darn users. Always blowing up false media narratives. Anything the left doesn't control 100 percent automatically becomes 'far right.'
Jocular Josh (@lifeasjosh) ~ So, Scott is literally the only one on the panel who actually pays attention to what's been reported on CNN. 😄😂🤣🤣🤣
Champion even hilariously (albeit accidentally) slams her own network after Jennings mentioned the survey by saying, 'It's not accurate and you know it.'
Jennings just gives her the 'Scott Jennings face' and says, 'OK.'
LOL.
Bill Harman (@Bharm36) ~ "What we report on this network [CNN] is not accurate and you know it."
Yep. That slip-up was so huge, even Freud lit a cigar in its honor.
Adam Oney (@oneystar) ~ Jennings is fantastic! I can’t imagine how he maintains his composure with the whack jobs he works with.
He must feel like someone safely sitting by a zoo enclosure watching animals fling feces at each other (and at him). At a certain point, you just have to be zen about it.
Mrs B (@attackdogX) ~ They big mad. 😂
We especially love the part at the end of the clip where Champion says it would be okay for Bill Gates to own a network like Musk owns because 'he is sane.'
HAHAHAHAHA.
GAgirl1967 ❤️🖤 says Go Dawgs! (@Tamzilla_52) ~ How does Scott do this? And Bill Gates would be a mass killer if he was able to do what he wanted to do.
Gates might be the worst person in the entire world if it was not for Klaus Schwab.
Elon Musk (@elonmusk) ~ Listen to the end of the clip. LMAO!
We laughed out loud. And CNN seems to be forgetting a few other billionaires who own media properties as well.
Chef Andrew Gruel (@ChefGruel) ~ Are we just ignoring the fact that Jeff Bezos owns the WaPo? That Bloomberg runs Bloomberg news? That David Thomson, the head of Thomson Reuters is worth 70 billion. The "billionaire" argument is only used when it's convenient.[i]
Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) ~ [i]It’s funny how the Democrats on this panel had no issue with George Soros buying up 200+ radio stations this cycle though.
Oh, but all of those billionaires are (D)ifferent, don't you get it?
Sandy: 🇳🇿 (@sandramay353) ~ OMG! They think Bill Gates is sane? WTF? Well ... maybe he's sane, technically. But, that doesn't make him less evil. Plus billionaires own news platforms literally all over the planet. Do these women have functional brains?
Well, they're all on CNN and would be basically unemployable anywhere else, so we think the answer to the last question is obvious.
CK ( @CK_3108 ) ~ They are so bad ... the end is the best, ultimate hypocrisy.
Always remember that it's more about hierarchy than hypocrisy. They think they can get away with saying these things because they deeply believe they are better than us and we have to buy everything they say. They're on the TV, after all.
It's been a rude awakening for them the past few months, hasn't it? Pretty funny for us though.
