This can't end well.

Journalists often leap to defend CNN as a journalistic institution in the face of accusations by many on the Right that the network exists to benefit Democrats through insidious means.

Now, many of those same journalists are calling foul after CNN announced it would hire Sarah Isgur as Political Editor. The position is a daunting one for someone like Isgur, who—according to her LinkedIn profile—has no journalistic experience, but does have a wealth of experience working for Republicans and the GOP as a whole.


Isgur's last job was under former Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the Justice Department. She also previously worked for the Republican National Committee and on the 2016 campaign for Republican Carly Fiorina.

As Political Editor, Isgur would be making crucial decisions regarding the network's election coverage, only four years after Russian operatives used propaganda campaigns to influence American voters.

If her previous political affiliations weren't enough to give pause, her unearthed tweets are even more unsettling.

There are multiple Tweets decrying CNN itself, with at least one referring to it as the Clinton News Network—a derisive term for the network that gained popularity among Republicans during the 2016 campaign.

Others endorse Trump staffers and Republican causes, while disparaging Democrats.

Journalists are disturbed and skeptical of Isgur's ability to dictate the network's election coverage without bias or outside influence.

It's not just journalists that are disturbed.

Every day Americans are concerned, still feeling the aftershocks of a presidential election entrenched in fake news and insidious influence.

For its part, CNN has defended Isgur's hiring, citing her "wealth of government, political, communications, and legal experience."

That hasn't stopped many from have vowing to switch of CNN for good.

The 2020 election is already shaping up to be another polarizing time.

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
