However, co-panelist\u2062 Cari Champion\u2063 challenged this \u200bassertion, \u2063demanding stronger evidence for\u200b his claim. Jennings pointed to CNN&#8217;s own\u200d reporting as the source of his \u2062information.<\/p>\n<p>Further details revealed by CNN \u200cdata expert Harry Enten indicated a notable shift in user demographics on X since Musk&#8217;s takeover, with the user\u200c base \u200dtransitioning from 65% Democratic\u2064 to a\u2064 near-even split of 48% Democratic and 47% Republican.\u200b This realignment was noted to better reflect the overall voter base \u200bin the US. Cornish and Champion expressed concerns over the implications \u200dof billionaire ownership \u200dof media platforms, highlighting that Musk&#8217;s \u200binfluence has significantly interacted \u2063with the nature of discourse on X. Ultimately, Jennings posited that before Musk&#8217;s takeover, the platform was unfriendly to conservatives, but\u2064 now it offers a more welcoming environment for all viewpoints.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>CNN conservative political commentator Scott Jennings fact-checked a co-panelist on Monday over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-media-outlets-that-gave-a-pass-to-black-lives-matter-and-antifa-violence\/\" title=\"The Media Outlets That Gave A Pass To Black Lives Matter And Antifa Violence\">political bent<\/a> of the users on the social media platform X by citing the network&rsquo;s own reporting.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I saw a survey this week.
