Former President Obama speechwriter and Crooked Media co-founder Jon Lovett recently came on CNN's Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter. Over the course of the conversation Lovett let loose about the news network's lack of informative and intelligent voices during their crowded panels discussing the latest political news.

“You turn it on and there’s a big giant panel," said Lovett. “You look at that giant panel, and it’s smart person, smart person, smart person, stupid person, smart person, smart person, smart person, bullsh*t factory.”

“I’m calling the people that CNN puts on television terrible representatives of the views of conservatives," he explained. "They’re terrible representatives of the kind of politics we should have. I mean, these are not intellectually honest people. These are people building a brand, people willing to say anything."

Lovett continued: "So often on CNN there are world-class journalists interviewing campaign rejects, ideologues and silly craven people who do not care about informing people, who aren’t there to help people understand what’s going on in the news."

"Who comes away from a ten-person panel on CNN thinking: 'Wow, I really understand that story and I feel super pleased with my experience," he added.

Lovett and other former Obama staffers Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor are the hosts of the popular podcast Pod Saves America and recently launched their own company, Crooked Media. In addition to Pod Saves America, Lovett just premiered his new podcast Lovett or Leave It, which offers a comical take on politics.

After leaving the White House in 2011, Lovett was a writer on HBO's The Newsroom and co-created the short-lived NBC sitcom, 1600 Penn with actor Josh Gad.

“I had a really fun career in TV right after I left politics,” Lovett recently told The New York Times. "But I’d be lying if I didn’t say that over the year of the election I didn’t feel that I wanted more purpose.”
