This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the biggest screamers on CNN expressing dismay that three white Jeopardy champs didn’t know the newest Supreme Court associate justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson.
More than a week after the “Tournament of Champions” episode aired, the crew of CNN’s morning show were annoyed that contestants on the game show were unable to name “KBJ” as the first black woman on the court.

The answer for which none of the three contestants could provide the question on the show aired Nov. 9: “She’s the first black woman on the Supreme Court and the first justice to have been a federal public defender.”
After a clip, Don Lemon scoffed, “it’s just that these are smart people.” Kaitlan Collins sad-faced, “you’ve got to know about current events to be on Jeopardy.” And Poppy Harlow said, “she’s been in the news.”
From Friday’s CNN This Morning:
KAITLAN COLLINS: And then, remember earlier this month, it wasn’t the clue that raised eyebrows, it was the moment that followed. This moment.
JEOPARDY HOST KEN JENNINGS: She’s the first black woman on the Supreme Court and the first justice to have been a federal public defender.
JENNINGS: That’s Justice Jackson. Ketanji Brown Jackson.
COLLINS: I don’t think that’s that surprising. I will say. A lot of people don’t even know who’s on the Supreme Court.
DON LEMON: It’s just that these are smart people. When you go on Jeopardy.
COLLINS: That’s a good point.
LEMON: When you go on Jeopardy.
POPPY HARLOW: She was just confirmed! Right? She’s been in the news.
LEMON: But listen, if you’re standing outside – I think Kaitlan’s right. If you’re standing outside of a mall or whatever and people may not know, when they do the man-on-the-street thing, yes. But when you’re smart enough to be a contestant on Jeopardy.
COLLINS: You’ve got to know about current events to be on Jeopardy.

LEMON: Yeah.
COLLINS: Maybe not be successful on Jeopardy.
HARLOW: And history making ones.
Brent Baker, vice president of research and publications for the Media Research Center, explains our weekly pick: “File under annoy a liberal by not recognizing one of their heroes. Numerous polls show the majority of the public doesn’t know the names of most Supreme Court justices, so not knowing the newest one is hardly a surprise. Maybe if CNN and the rest of the media had spent months smearing her reputation, as they’ve done with conservative justices Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, she’d have a greater name ID.”
Rating: THREE out of FIVE SCREAMS.
