CNN Panel Erupts Over Debate on X's Political Balance

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings cites CNN's own reporting to claim X is ideologically balanced, sparking pushback from fellow panelists.

Scott Jennings, a conservative CNN contributor, argued that X (formerly Twitter) is the most ideologically balanced social media platform, citing a CNN report on Pew Research data.
The report revealed that X's user base is now nearly evenly split between Democrats (48%) and Republicans (47%), a significant shift from 2022 when Democrats dominated the platform's user base at 65%.
Fellow CNN panelist Cari Champion strongly disagreed, accusing Jennings of misinformation and criticizing X for its lack of content regulation and moral oversight.
The heated exchange occurred during a discussion about Elon Musk's ownership of X and his influence, with some panelists expressing concerns about his ties to President-elect Donald Trump.
Jennings questioned the left's discomfort with losing control over information platforms, while Champion called for stricter regulation, citing harassment and offensive content on X.
