CNN UNHINGED: Trump and ‘Conservative Media’ ‘Created’ This ‘Mess’
April 14th, 2020 12:32 AM
CNN couldn’t stand the heat so they bailed out of Monday’s Coronavirus Task Force press conference and dove right into some unhinged hot takes. While they insisted President Trump was the one who was raging, the OutFront panel was clearly irate as they threw out a flurry of insults and unsupported accusations all in an effort to blame the over 23,000 coronavirus deaths in the U.S. on the…

Stelter Shellacks Trump, Ignores Biden In Softballs to NYT Top Editor
April 13th, 2020 9:47 AM
On Sunday's Reliable Sources on CNN, host Brian Stelter typically attacked President Trump and his "ignorance on sad display," but never mentioned the names Cuomo or Biden -- even as he asked New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet about the paper's new Trump expose -- and totally ignored the paper's story on the woman accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault.

Hysterics on CNN: ‘People Are Dying' Because Trump 'Acting a Fool'
April 12th, 2020 2:31 PM
CNN’s so-called “Reliable Sources” was known for being a place where professional journalism was shunned in favor of hysterics and theatrics. During Sunday’s edition of the show, frequent guest David Zurawik, a media critic for The Baltimore Sun newspaper, was unhinged from the get-go as he blamed the over 20,000 Wuhan Virus deaths in the U.S. on President Trump, who was “acting a fool” according…
Stelter Whines 'No One Stands Up' to Trump When He Whacks the Press
April 8th, 2020 8:23 AM
CNN Newsroom took a brief break from talking about the latest COVID-19 developments on Tuesday to talk about the news that White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham is stepping down to return to her job as the first lady's chief of staff, providing Brian Stelter an opportunity to talk about his favorite subject: the White House's war on the press.

Just a week after conservative outlet One America News was kicked out of the press room for “violating social-distancing” rules, Phoenix TV, a Hong Kong-based Chinese language news network, somehow had a reporter there. She got to knock out some ChiCom talking points in a “question” for President Trump.
CNN Bashes FNC as Irresponsible on Virus, But Still Held Public Event
April 6th, 2020 5:16 PM
As the coronavirus pandemic has worsened, CNN has emphasized bleak outcomes, Trump hatefests, and venomous, tiresome Fox News-bashing the cornerstones of their coverage instead of first informing viewers and providing hope. However, one thing that these charlatans have shied away from is their own culpability, including their downplaying of the virus, barely covering it (in favor of…

Stelter and Guests 'Loved' Cuomo's 'Fantastic' Briefings, Hate Trump's
April 6th, 2020 7:19 AM
CNN’s Reliable Sources demonstrated the usual partisan tilt on Sunday. Host Brian Stelter came out of the latest briefing from Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York championing his “glass half-full” approach. Then he turned to CNN medical contributor Dr. James Phillips, and they both gushed over Cuomo’s briefings as so much better than President Trump’s.

Stelter Oozes Press Is 'So Essential,' and Trump Is 'Very Dangerous'
April 5th, 2020 7:40 AM
Within a half-hour of President Trump concluding Saturday's coronavirus briefing, CNN brought on Brian Stelter so they could wail in agony about Trump starting the meeting by berating the press. As usual, CNN painted the liberal media as "really crucial" in this crisis, and the president as a "very dangerous" oaf.

Daily Caller: CNN Bashed Trump for Saying What They're Now Reporting
April 1st, 2020 1:00 PM
Shelby Talcott at the Daily Caller has caught CNN in a bit of a sticky wicket. On Tuesday, CNN.com posted an article by Arman Azad with the good news that the death rate from coronavirus isn't as awful as assumed. But a month ago, CNN stars ganged up on Trump for "misinforming" the public by suggesting the death rate was under one percent.
Despite Daily Rumbles, Stelter Squeals Trump's 'Self-Isolating' at Fox
March 31st, 2020 8:49 AM
CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter spent many months complaining about the lack of White House press briefings...then when Trump took questions on the lawn, it was the lack of "formal" press briefings. Now there are daily briefings in the James Brady Briefing Room, and Stelter's complaining "Trump is self-isolating at his safe space: Fox News." Stelter should be quite physically fit after…
Column: Press Briefings and Ego Bruisings
March 25th, 2020 6:44 AM
One of the more tiresome partisan polkas we’ve witnessed in the Trump years is the herky-jerky dancing around the White House briefing. First, journalists insist it’s a dangerously undemocratic practice to avoid a daily briefing. Then when suddenly there are daily briefings for a public-health crisis, journalists insist it’s a dangerous practice to air these briefings live because the president…

CNN's Stelter Sucks Up to AT&T CEO in Simpering Softball Interview
March 22nd, 2020 3:56 PM
CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday spent a full interview with AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson lobbing softballs, even as Congressional talks over a coronavirus stimulus package were faltering due to, among other things, concerns about whether corporations would use the aid responsibly. However, the Reliable Sources host’s decision to genuflect rather than ask anything meaningful isn’t much of a shock…
Stelter's HBO Straw Man: Toxic 'Right-Wing' Liars vs. Heroic Old Media
March 20th, 2020 5:27 PM
Anyone who heard Brian Stelter was producing a documentary on "fake news" for HBO titled After Truth can imagine what they would receive. Anyone watching it finds nothing in it that’s very surprising. Stelter’s employers (current and past) at CNN and The New York Times are the Verifiers of Fact, fighting against a shameless “right-wing” army of misinformation profiteers.
Stelter to Surgeon General: Stop Lecturing About Media 'Partisanship'
March 15th, 2020 8:19 AM
In his latest newsletter, CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter echoed Trump-bashing Los Angeles Times reporter Chris Megerian in being upset at Surgeon General Jerome Adams for daring to call out partisan bickering from reporters. He also tweeted "He needs to spend his time educating the public about how to protect each other, not lecturing the press about what's newsworthy."
