Brian Stelter

CNN chief media analyst welcomed NPR’s lawsuit “hitting back” at the Trump Administration on Tuesday as the outlet argues that removing their federal funding via executive order violates the First Amendment.

As news was breaking of former President Joe Biden’s advanced cancer diagnosis, there immediately emerged efforts to turn the diagnosis into a vehicle with which to suppress scrutiny of the former president based on the respective releases of the Hur tapes and the Tapper/Thompson book Original Sin. Chief among those doing so on CNN, Brian Stelter and former Obama guru David Axelrod.…

CNN’s Brian Stelter led his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on Wednesday with the event he’s attending for "Truth Tellers." Stelter suggested journalists have to be "at war" with Trump, they can't be "pacifists" or they lose. He noted Jeffrey Goldberg said "every day is kind of Watergate at this point," underlining they always want to drive Trump out of power.

Despite repeatedly calling Fox News “state TV” during President Trump’s first term (when he still had his show, so-called Reliable Sources), CNN’s Brian Stelter decried Trump’s executive order defunding the actual state-media outlets of PBS and NPR. In his appearance on Friday’s Inside Politics, Stelter argued that Trump didn’t have the authority to strip funding but he…

President Trump's backing of a rescission of more than $1 billion in advance funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is freaking out the leftist media. On Saturday night, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter smeared the effort as "right out of the autocratic playbook." The Left will be the heroes if "there are pro-democracy coalitions that are stronger than the wannabe autocrat."  

For the Tax Day edition of CNN’s Inside Politics on Tuesday, media correspondent Brian Stelter joined host Dana Bash to allege that President Trump wants to defund PBS and NPR for “simply covering the news.” If Stelter really believes that then he has a funny definition of what is newsworthy.

Tuesday’s PBS News Hour featured guest Brian Stelter, editor of CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter (and reliable white knight for the mainstream media) to discuss the “chilling effect” of the Trump Administration blocking the Associated Press from the White House pool of reporters.

In an appearance on Wednesday’s CNN Newsroom and in his so-called “Reliable Sources” Newsletter, liberal media janitor Brian Stelter kvetched about President Trump “embracing the role of word police” for barring the Associated Press from official White House events over their refusal to call it the Gulf of America. Meanwhile, Stelter had backed the Biden administration’s attempt to…

Donald Trump never gets any credit for granting broad access to the press. Team Biden was never blamed for avoiding them. That's because journalists don't care about their own access. They care about the Democrats winning. They're partisan team players, not nonpartisan watchdogs. 

CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, known colloquially as “The Thunderdome”, was particularly lively as conservative commentator Scott Jennings clowned multiple guests across multiple segments. Each own was progressively more brutal than the other.

Brian Stelter is back in his CNN comfort zone, penning those punchy sentences about “Trump’s history of bullying media companies.” It’s as if he cannot conceive of the opposing view, as in “the legacy media’s history of bullying Donald Trump.” They’ve played rough -- seeking to destroy his political career, bankrupt his businesses, and even put him in jail for years

Former President Joe Biden used his farewell address to warn about an “oligarchy” around President Donald Trump, and the media have responded by teaching such concerns as if they are an objective fact. Case in point: CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter joined Tuesday morning’s CNN News Central to react to Monday’s inauguration and dubbed it “the inauguration of the oligarchs.”…

CNN touted a former CNN producer from the "fact-checking" site Lead Stories saying Facebook cutting them is like "disbanding your fire department." That's wrong, and deeply insensitive. The media are now crying "disinformation" when anyone seeks to blame Democrats for their preparedness before the Los Angeles wildfires.

After ABC News settled with Donald Trump for $16 million over George Stephanopoulos incessantly lying about Trump being held “liable for rape,” the hot concept in media panic was the “chilling effect.” Both the Democrats and their media enablers can’t imagine that people see them as the Freeze Police of the chilling effect. They’re constantly trying to intimidate people from speaking in Trump’…
