Corey Lewandowski again????

According to Sarah Kendzior on Twitter:

CNN has hired as "commentators":

* Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski
* Trump campaign staffer and Putin image consultant Michael Caputo
* Racist Jeffrey Lord who was fired only after he literally tweeted "sieg hiel"

==

I'm going to suggest again that we band together to organize some kind of real time rapid response to the media during this election cycle. It will require a lot of us who are on Twitter -- to be able to respond in real time when coverage gets biased, slanted, unbalanced between GOP and Dems, etc but if we let the media do what they did last time, they will HAPPILY give BILLIONS of dollars in free publicity to the Republicans. Anyone interested in helping?

Isgur once referred to her new employer as the “Clinton News Network.”

By Aaron Rupar@atrupar Feb 19, 2019, 3:50pm EST

CNN announced on Tuesday it has hired longtime Republican operative Sarah Isgur as political editor, charged with shaping its 2020 campaign coverage.

According to a CNN spokesperson, Isgur, who most recently worked as the Department of Justice’s main spokesperson under then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, will coordinate the network’s political coverage for the 2020 election cycle on TV and on CNN’s website. Isgur starts work next month, and will not be involved in coverage of DOJ. She will occasionally appear on TV.

Isgur’s LinkedIn page indicates she has no journalism experience. She has, however, worked for a variety of right-wing organizations and campaigns, including the Carly Fiorina and Mitt Romney presidential bids, the Republican National Committee, and a Ted Cruz US Senate campaign.

Coming as it does in the wake of a presidential cycle in which the mainstream media’s fixation on Hillary Clinton’s emails (among other issues) was widely criticized, news of Isgur’s hiring sparked concerns about the direction CNN is taking heading into 2020.



CNN just hired a woman that pledged loyalty to trump.

Jeffrey Toobin.

That being said, my question is why didn't any of them apply to FOX News?
