Reliable Sources

Following the airing of CNN’s town hall with former President Trump Wednesday evening, many bloviating pontificators in the liberal media registered their outrage at the network for daring to give the Republican candidate a platform. A surprising voice to register their disproval came from inside CNN’s house in the form of senior media reporter Oliver Darcy via the so-called “Reliable Sources…

CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy climbed to the mountaintop of shamelessness in his so-called “Reliable Sources” newsletter on February 8 under the heading “The Collusion Delusion.” After CNN spent the Trump years oppressively promoting the Russian collusion theory, now CNN thinks it's a "delusion" to see collusion between Big Tech, the Biden campaign, and the "intelligence community" to…

This past week, CNN again backtracked on a COVID-related issue the liberal news network had previously dismissed as a right-wing "conspiracy theory" as network medical contributor Leana Wen admitted that overcounting of COVID deaths and hospitalizations is likely a problem that needs to be corrected -- a subject she covered in a couple of Washington Post op-eds.

CNN's Oliver Darcy led off the Tuesday night "Reliable Sources" newsletter with the headline "The Pressed Secretary." His first line: "Frustration among White House reporters with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is reaching a boiling point." Reporters who remained anonymous expressed newfound anger at the guff from the podium: 

In 2022, some of cable TV’s most obnoxious left-wing executives, hosts, correspondents and commentators were shown the door. On this final day of 2022, a look back at those who we said goodbye to this year, and how the fairness of the media landscape is at least somewhat improved by their departure.

CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy acted like a flunky for the FBI, throwing a conniption over Twitter owner Elon Musk’s revelations that the bureau paid the platform millions to “censor”  Americans.

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.

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…
