CNN Pundit Scott Jennings last month left a fellow CNN panelist speechless after he claimed X is the most ideologically balanced social media platform – and backed it up with one of the left-leaning network’s own reports.
“I saw a survey this week – it’s [X] now the most ideologically balanced user platform of any platform,” Jennings said during CNN NewsNight on Monday.
CNN panelist and television personality Cari Champion shot back: “You cannot say that.”
“Who’s your source?” she demanded as the network’s panelists talked over one another.
Elon Musk is winning, even if his popularity ratings are down.

He's remade X/Twitter in his image... Turning it from a Democratic bastion to one that is far more evenly divided (& friendlier to the GOP).
Moreover, Musk's wealth has ballooned in ways that are tough to imagine. pic.twitter.com/CobSoYuiaY
The week before, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten had discussed survey findings from the Pew Research Center that found billionaire Elon Musk’s X userbase has grown more politically balanced – though the platform has lost users and Musk himself has grown less favorable.
The social media platform’s userbase is a nearly even split between 48% of Democrat users and 47% of Republican users, according to the data. In 2022, a 65% majority of the platform’s users had identified as Democrats, Enten said.
