<p>CNN host Abby Phillip shared a post highlighting the recent ratings logged by her show, &#8220;CNN NewsNight&#8221; — and her critics quickly pointed out that what truly made her show a standout on the cable news network was her regular inclusion of popular Republican commentator Scott Jennings.</p>
<p>Phillip posted an excerpt from a CNN public relations release showing that her broadcast was the network&#8217;s top performer in the coveted 25-54 age demographic for three months running — and that her audience was growing. She said (emphasis hers), &#8220;NewsNight with Abby Phillip continues to be a standout performer for CNN, ranking<span class="r-b88u0q"> as the network’s most watched program among P25-54 for the third consecutive month.</span> Further, NewsNight grew by impressive, double-digit margins year-over-year among both demos.&#8221;</p>

<p>But critics responded to her post, arguing that it was Jennings — who often employs a Jim Halpern (&#8220;The Office&#8221;) style camera stare to great effect — and his sharp but civil commentary that was really bringing in the viewers for whom she was taking credit.</p>

<p>Even popular liberal radio host Charlamagne tha God admitted that he was a fan of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/charlamagne-tha-god-admits-hes-a-fan-of-one-cnn-republican" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOP commentator</a>, saying, &#8220;I wish they had more people like Scott Jennings though. Because I feel like Scott Jennings really, really does take it serious, even though he holds his side down. I think a lot of times, they have Republicans on here who are just there just to throw grenades, just to cause the conflict. But Scott actually — I think Scott actually gives a f*** a little bit, you know what I mean? A lot of bit actually.&#8221;</p>
