A decade into Trump’s capture of the Republican Party, Jennings is the premier crossover enabler.
He is perhaps CNN’s most recognizable face alongside its primetime anchors,
and he is feted on jokey, tough-talk shows like Bill Maher. 
But Jennings is a representation of our own malady,

I remember a time when I called a business and someone answered. Now when the phone is answered, I am immediately put on hold to listen to annoying computer generated music, then an announcement about how much they value my business, then a land acknowledgement, then a warning about abusive language or behaviour, then a number select menu, which does not include “talk to the receptionist”, then I pick a number and have to leave a message! 🤷😠
