Brian Stelter

On the last so-called “Reliable Sources” of 2021, CNN media apologist Brian Stelter set out to bust some of the “misconceptions” the public had about the media. The misconceptions that needed to be battled included the idea that they have “malicious intent” when they publish fake news and that the media’s political biases were being actively offset internally, resulting in balanced…

On top of all the bad Chris Cuomo news happening at CNN over the last few weeks, things got even worse for the network over the weekend when news broke New Day producer John Griffin was arrested for allegedly attempting to convince parents to allow him to have unlawful sex with their underage daughters. But being the good company man he was, CNN’s Brian Stelter completely ignored the…

CNN took a sudden detour from its love affair with President Joe Biden and accused his White House of trying to quietly shape the media coverage of his atrocious economic agenda. The Reliable Sources newsletter reported that the “The White House, not happy with the news media's coverage of the supply chain and economy, has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage in…

Only after Chris Cuomo was suddenly fired did CNN's Brian Stelter discover he'd crossed an ethical line "many times," that there were "so many headaches here, so many journalistic fouls."

On Sunday’s Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter entertained the laughable notion that the media have been harder on President Biden than they were on his predecessor, President Trump.

Nothing is more awkward than a media reporter trying to report on his or her own media outlet, and Brian Stelter looked very awkward on Saturday night reporting on Chris Cuomo’s sudden Saturday firing. Suddenly, after the firing, Stelter admitted the obvious, that Cuomo "violated journalistic ethics and norms. Not once or twice but many times."

Early Saturday night, CNN and boss Jeff Zucker fired long time CNN host Chris Cuomo “effective immediately” following a year-plus of ethics-free behavior from both parties as Cuomo worked with and gave softball interviews to his brother, scandal-ridden former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY).

In another case of Zuckerville (aka CNN) living in an alternative reality, CNN’s chief Zucker bootlickers and Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter claimed in his Wednesday newsletter of hate that November ratings showed suspended Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo had the network’s highest-rated show among total viewers. But like most things with CNN, that wasn’t true.

On Wednesday, CNN’s New Day briefly stopped rehashing old news about Trump long enough for Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter to mention his colleague Chris Cuomo’s suspension from CNN. On Monday, released records revealed that Cuomo was even more intimately involved with covering up sexual harassment allegations against his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,…

Reacting to CNN finally suspending Prime Time host Chris Cuomo, Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson opened his show by lampooning the “[b]ig changes in the tiny hothouse — and it is tiny — of cable news” with the departure of the “illiterate” man who routinely spewed “a bouillabaisse of incomprehensible grammar,” but surprisingly defended Cuomo for helping his brother, disgraced New…

CNN went ahead and allowed Prime Time host Chris Cuomo to do his show Monday night under a darkening cloud of mistrust and scandal. The cause? New evidence released by the New York attorney general’s office exposed how intertwined Chris was with the executive office of his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as he faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct. And while…

On the latest NewsBusters Podcast, we reflect on the amazing lack of self-awareness demonstrated by CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter as he led off his show Sunday with a commentary suggesting that other news outlets were partisan, and disparaged the president based on "feelings over facts."

CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter typically opens his show with a big commentary on the world of media -- and even in 2021, he often obsesses over Trump. On Sunday, he worried out loud about President Biden's "metastory," and he's upset that Biden is unpopular despite a supposedly terrific economy, and that somehow, Biden has COVID under control. Stelter complained "some…

On this episode of the NewsBusters Podcast, Nick “Night Train” Fondacaro and White House briefing scribe Curtis Houck are hanging around to discuss the liberal media’s open disdain for average Americans as they scoff at those struggling to make ends meet because of inflation, with one even suggesting people were lying about their struggles.
