One of the lone pro-Trump voices on CNN, Scott Jennings, has announced he has landed a new position with the Los Angeles Times.
Jennings has accepted an offer to join the editorial board of the LA Times, which will not conflict with any of his obligations to CNN.
In a post on X, Jenning said, “It’s true—I’ve accepted Dr. Parick Soon Shiong’s invitation to join the editorial board of the LA Times.”
Jennings added, “I plan to represent those Americans who believe they are often ignored or even ridiculed in legacy media and applaud Dr. Soon-Shiong’s move to bring balance to the editorial board.”
Jennings’s big announcement comes as Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong revealed last month that he wanted to make the newspaper more balanced.
In the 2024 presidential election, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of the Los Angeles Times, called for the news outlet not to make any endorsements, which sparked resignations among liberal journalists who wanted the outlet to endorse Kamala Harris.
It’s true – I’ve accepted @DrPatSoonShiong invitation to join the editorial board of the @latimes. I’ve written columns for the paper over the last few years and was honored to do so under such a storied and important masthead. I love newspapers and believe in strong journalism… https://t.co/GrMa44T6en

Conservative CNN political commentator Scott Jennings confirmed through a post on social media Friday that he is joining the Los Angeles Times editorial board.
The move comes as the newspaper’s owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, vowed to do a complete overhaul of the outlet ensuring that a clear distinction exists between reporting and editorials. Jennings became a contributing columnist for the Los Angeles Times in 2019. He joined CNN as a contributor in 2017 and was an aide to former President George W. Bush.
“I’ve written columns for the paper over the last few years and was honored to do so under such a storied and important masthead,” Jennings wrote on X. “I love newspapers and believe in strong journalism and strong opinion pages that represent a wide array of views.”
Jennings continued, “I approach my commentary jobs by starting with the truth and then providing my honest opinion based on my conservative values and experience. I think Dr Soon-Shiong is doing something important and groundbreaking and am honored he asked me to play a role in that.”
