CNN has long been associated with the so-called pro-Trump contributors that the network hired to give voice to the president's supporters, but this group of pundits is thinning by the week.
Jack Kingston, a former congressman from Georgia, and Andre Bauer, the onetime lieutenant governor of South Carolina, did not have their contributor contracts renewed, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Bauer's deal ended last Friday, and he said he did not ask why the network did not offer him a chance to renew after three years with the company. "I am very thankful for the opportunity CNN gave ...

CNN’s shows regularly feature people who like to defend the administration of President Donald Trump. Keeping their seats filled is becoming a tougher task.
Jason Miller had become a steady presence on CNN, appearing on programs like “Erin Burnett OutFront” to defend White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, among other Trump officials. But Miller, a former Trump campaign aide, left his role as a CNN political analyst this weekend after allegations about his off-camera behavior surfaced, in the process becoming the latest pro-Trumper to exit the network after gaining national recognition for his appearances.
He joins a growing parade of Trump defenders who have found it difficult to stay on CNN. The At&T-owned cable-news network in August suspended Paris Dennard, a strong defender of Trump decisions, after The Washington Post reported Dennard had been fired from a job at Arizona State University for what the paper called...

Tough news for Rick Santorum, Joan Walsh, Jack Kingston and the dozens of CNN analysts and contributors who often hold forth during the network’s primetime “panel” discussions: Chris Cuomo wants little to do with you.
When Cuomo launches a new CNN show in primetime next week, he intends to rely largely on one-on-one interviews with newsmakers, and less on the large and often unruly roundtables that have become a staple on the Time Warner-owned network’s air since before the 2016 election. Doing so, he says, was one of the conditions he sought in exchange for taking the new gig.
He got it. “I don’t need to sit there and listen to all of these outsized voices with competing banter,” Cuomo says during a recent interview. “I think there’s enough of it.”
And so, CNN will make a new bid in what is perhaps cable news’ most heated fray.

Since Jeffrey Lord was fired by CNN, former Republican Congressman Jack Kingston has become one of President Donald Trump's most high-profile defenders on the network. But if he wants to take over Lord's many regular primetime appearances, he's going to have to study his talking points a little better.

CNN political commentator Angela Rye refused to call President Trump her president on Monday during a panel discussion related to Russia meddling in the election, angering a former Gop congressman who was part of the discussion. “There are a lot of things that your president has done to defy logic. Let’s at least acknowledge that,” Rye said as the panel debated the ramifications of Donald Trump Jr.’s 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. Trump campaign adviser and former Gop congressman Jack Kingston responded, “Your president, too, Angela. Your president, too.” Also Read: Trump Says 'Most Politicians'.

Hospitality isn't a given in Savannah. Southern Charm Savannah's cast is still obsessed with Nelson Lewis' past, and we kind of can't blame them? The guy basically pulled a Talented Mr. Ripley in Washington, D.C., pretending to be Rep. Jack Kingston, back in 2011 when he was an Fnc staffer and Laura Ingraham Show producer. Since the Bravo reality series' debut, Nelson's political scandal has dominated dinner table conversations and caused a chorus of whispers at social gatherings. And one of his friend's has finally had enough. "Why are everyone's lives so small that you care what happened with Nelson?" Ashley Borders asks at the beginning of E!...

Former Republican congressman Jack Kingston certainly isn’t taking Jeremy Scahill’s lead, saying he’s looking forward to being on Real Time with Bill Maher tonight with the controversial Milo Yiannopoulos. But Kingston, one of CNN’s go-to supporters of President Donald Trump, might be in for a disappointment — he won’t be sharing the panel with the flame-throwing Breitbart provocateur. “Milo tees it up,” Kingston tweeted today (see it below), a reference to Yiannopoulos…...

On Tuesday, Rep. Jack Kingston (R-ga) appeared on MSNBC with anchor Thomas Roberts to discuss the measures Congress is considering to adopt in response to the mass shooting in Connecticut on Friday. Roberts pressed Kingston on lax gun ownership rights in this country, to which Kingston countered that many European nations with strict gun control measures still experience mass shootings. Roberts responded to that by asking if he was suggesting that Americans must remain “complacent” and “send our children to school to be assassinated?”...

On his show tonight, Bill Maher took on the controversial comments on rape made earlier this week by Republican congressman Todd Akin. Guest panelist Jack Kingston, one of Akin's Republican colleagues in Congress, roundly criticized Akin for his medically ignorant remarks, but Maher argued that Akin's comments are not just an isolated incident, but part of a larger trend on the social values of the Republican party.

What's worse than a congressman who doesn't believe in evolution? A congressman who's willing to adamantly admit it on national TV. That's exactly what Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga) did on Friday's episode of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher. When asked about evolution Kingston said, "I believe I came from God, not from a monkey, so the answer is no." Later, he added, "I don't believe that a creature crawled out of the sea and became a human being one day." For the record, I don't believe it happened in one day either. I was under the impression the rise of humankind was more like a gradual and complex biological process that occurred over thousands of years. Unfortunately, according to a recent Gallup poll only sixty percent of Americans err on the side of science and share [...]...

Is the Sarah Palin backlash beginning? Unlikely, but this remark from Rep. Jack Kingston on “America’s Morning News" radio show this morning is further evidence that the Gop is far from united behind the former Gov. of Alaska. Kingston told the hosts that he wished Palin would "butt out of primary races" because "what she is doing is dividing the Republican party at a time when we don't need to be divided."...

Before President Obama was inaugurated, leaders of 21 arts service organizations sent his transition team a list of recommendations, which included increasing the budget of the National Endowment for the Arts from $155 million to $319 million. That the idea wasn't rejected immediately was seen as a welcome signal -- among the first of several that the nonprofit-arts community has received from Washington recently, despite the ever-deepening fiscal gloom.
The first 100 days of the Obama administration has been a heady time for arts advocacy groups such as Americans for the Arts, the Association of Performing Arts Presenters and Theatre Communications Group. Though they didn't get all the money they wanted for the Nea, they played a critical role in the president's inclusion of an extra $50 million for the endowment in the stimulus bill he sent to Congress. The administration has also placed a greater emphasis on the arts by hiring two aides, Kareem Dale and actor Kal Penn,...

Robert L. Lynch is working up a sweat. As the president and CEO of Washington-based Americans for the Arts, he wants $50 million in extra funding for the National Endowment of the Arts to be included in the stimulus package wending through Congress. It hasn't been an easy sell: A week after the House approved the funds in its version of the stimulus package, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) authored an amendment that would prohibit any stimulus money going to art centers, theatres, and museums. It passed by an overwhelming margin and included support from Sens. Charles Schumer (D-n.Y.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). Lynch refuses to yield. His organization has taken out ads in D.C.'s top political newspapers, sent 60,000 emails, and implored sympathetic members of Congress to write columns for their hometown editorial pages. The centerpiece of Lynch's argument is his organization's 2007 economic-impact study, which, to him, proves the...
