MSNBC star Lawrence O’Donnell tore into CNN and its corporate leadership for prominently featuring Scott Jennings on the air, calling the network “absurdly deranged” for employing a “rabid, lying Trump supporter.”
O’Donnell’s tirade against the rival cable news network comes as CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, is being targeted for a takeover by Paramount chief David Ellison, a bid that is largely bankrolled by his Trump-backing ultra-wealthy father Larry Ellison. Meanwhile, it has been reported that Donald Trump has all but approved Paramount’s merger proposal with WBD, despite no deal yet being reached.
