Executive summary

There is no reliable reporting in the provided sources that Jessica Tarlov has moved to CNN; every substantive profile shows her as a Fox News contributor and rotating co-host of The Five (joined Fox in 2017) [1] [2] [3]. The provided material contains no verifiable reporting that Scott Jennings has moved to Fox, and therefore that claim cannot be confirmed from these sources alone (no source).

1. What the records actually say about Jessica Tarlov’s affiliation

Public profiles and news coverage in the supplied reporting consistently identify Jessica Tarlov as a Democratic strategist who joined Fox News as a contributor in 2017 and serves as a rotating co-host of The Five, with roles across Fox News and Fox Business programming and as a host on the Raging Moderates podcast [2] [3] [4] [5]. Biographical entries reiterate her background in political research and media and note long-standing ties to Fox that include regular on-air appearances since 2014 and ongoing contributor status [1] [6] [7]. None of the supplied profiles or news items state she has left Fox for CNN.

2. The rumor ecosystem: where claims of moves tend to arise and why they spread

Social posts and partisan outlets sometimes amplify personnel rumors—one social thread claimed a sudden replacement of Tarlov with another host, and partisan commentary outlets have run pieces mocking or celebrating the idea of Tarlov moving outlets [8] [9]. These items illustrate how quickly unverified assertions can circulate: they mix opinion, hearsay and attacks on a commentator’s credibility rather than citing an official announcement from networks or the personalities involved [8] [9]. That pattern undercuts the reliability of such claims absent confirmation.

3. What the provided sources do not show (and why that matters)

The supplied dossier contains no press release, network statement, or reputable reporting that Jessica Tarlov has accepted a role at CNN, nor any documentation that Scott Jennings is joining Fox; those are material facts that would normally be reported by networks and trade press (none of the provided sources). Because the available sources are silent on those specific personnel moves, it is not possible on this record to confirm them or to adjudicate competing rumors. The proper journalistic standard here is to demand direct confirmation from the networks or the individuals; that confirmation is absent in the material provided.

4. Motives and incentives driving these narratives

Partisan media ecosystems and social platforms have incentives to portray on-air personnel moves as victories or defeats for one side; outlets and users frequently weaponize such stories to mock opponents or to claim ideological gains, as illustrated by opinion pieces and social chatter referenced here [9] [8]. Media booking practices—networks hiring commentators from across the political spectrum for balance and ratings—mean that people do move between outlets, but the presence of partisan motive in rumor circulation requires skepticism unless substantiated by primary announcements [2] [3].

5. How to verify and what to watch next

The next credible steps are straightforward: look for an official network press release, coverage in trade outlets (Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Deadline) or a direct statement from the commentator on verified social accounts; current profiles and reporting in the supplied sources continue to list Tarlov as a Fox contributor [2] [3] [1]. For Scott Jennings, because he is not referenced in the provided material, any claim about a Fox affiliation must likewise be corroborated with primary sources beyond this record (no source). Until such confirmations appear, treating the rumors as unverified is the responsible posture.
