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.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
