Brian Stelter

After CNN’s new ownership cancelled its media news show Reliable Sources and fired its host, the reliably liberal Brian Stelter, Slate magazine’s Justin Peters came to Stelter’s defense, while bashing his many conservative critics as “bad-faith” actors, in “A Reliable Source of Concern -- Why Brian Stelter’s axing is a very bad omen for CNN.” New CNN chief Chris Licht is…

On this edition of the NewsBusters Podcast, Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I breakdown a new NewsBusters study of the media’s silence about how Census Bureau errors largely hurt red state representation. We also look at Snopes playing word games with misleading “fact checks” about lies against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) and more on Brian Stelter leaving CNN.

Video editor Bill D’Agostino and I were at the helm for boss Tim Graham for Monday’s show, which we hit the ground running on by reminiscing Brian Stelter’s infamous tenure at CNN and breaking down the final episode of Reliable Sources.

The news of CNN canceling Brian Stelter’s Reliable Sources show wasn’t just relegated to chatter on CNN, towards the end of the only other national media analysis show MediaBuzz on the Fox News Channel, host Howard Kurtz had his own thoughts to share. What many people may not remember is Kurtz hosted CNN’s Reliable Sources before Stelter took the reins and ruined the…

We won’t have Brian Stelter to kick around anymore because Sunday’s Reliable Sources on CNN is officially no more. This last episode of Reliable Sources did have plenty of cringeworthy moments and leftist chest pounding over the media’s failure to go after “anti-democratic” Republicans enough.

CNN followed through on its threats to dismiss some fervently biased personalities. Brian Stelter''s "brand" was too toxically anti-Trump? We review some scraps between Stelter and NewsBusters and laugh at the lefties who think Stelter's dismissal is "a win for all the wrong people." Who will be next?

The following is just a sampling of the voluminous output of Brian Stelter’s liberal bias in his stint as anchor of CNN’s Reliable Sources.

In June, Axios.com media reporter Sara Fischer implied CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter could be on the chopping block as new CNN CEO Chris Licht promised to give the network a less partisan tone. From my distant perch, I dismissed that out of hand....and turned out to be wrong.

CNN’s chief media correspondent and liberal media janitor Brian Stelter — perhaps one of the most polarizing liberal journalists of all-time — is being pushed out of the network and his show Reliable Sources being cancelled following a final episode this coming Sunday.

How did we get from a “manufactured scandal” produced by “the right wing media machine,” to “a real problem” and “not just a right-wing media story?” Stelter owes his audience an explanation of how his opinion on Hunter Biden’s laptop has flipped a full 180 degrees since 2020.

So much for the Hunter Biden scandals being “Russian disinformation” as CNN has told their dwindling viewership since the 2020 presidential election. On Sunday’s Reliable Sources on CNN, host Brian Stelter shocked viewers during his interview with First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary Michael LaRosa by not only admitting Hunter Biden’s many scandals and alleged crimes are real but…

On August 1, CNN host Brian Stelter touted how CBS came out of live coverage of Biden's speech on taking down al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri with a glistening shot of the New York skyline, hailing "the resilience of New York City and the American people." But when the Trump administration took out Iranian terrorist Gen. Qasem Soleimani, that was a nightmare of war and American lies.

On Sunday’s reliably liberal Reliable Sources on CNN, Democrat Party propagandist Brian Stelter predictably bemoaned how the media is “basically caught up in that debate” over whether the United States is now in a recession despite the well-established definition being two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. Instead of bringing in an actual economist, Stelter decided to…

A PBS NewsHour anchor claimed Republicans "made hay" out of the outrageous story that a ten-year-old child in Ohio sought an abortion in Indiana after being impregnated in a rape.  But Democrats and liberal jerks like CNN's Dana Bash exploited it first, before it was fully confirmed. Republicans questioned its authenticity....until it was confirmed by prosecutors. Then Brian Stelter's…
