Brian Stelter

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’…

It was bound to happen. Not a month has passed since the presidential election, but the Regime Media are back to pushing breathless variants of their failed “threat to democracy” narratives. This time, in regard to speculation that Elon Musk may purchase MSNBC.

After the decisive Republican victory, one question bouncing around in conservative circles was: Will this lead the liberal media to change their ways? Will they reflect on how they are not in any way the “mainstream” media? It’s unlikely. They believe all of their own bravado about being on the front lines against incoming “fascism.” But at least Brian Stelter went asking around for his “…

The liberal papers and TV networks are not rushing to cover Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against CBS for its dishonest clip job of their Kamala Harris interview. They most likely consider it a stunt like riding in a garbage truck, as Trump trying to refocus attention on CBS sketchily refusing to release a full transcript.

CNN’s very own Anderson Cooper and newly-rehired Brian Stelter got together and, in an exchange devoid of fundamental self-awareness, chided Jeff Bezos for pulling the plug on endorsements at The Washington Post. The two went right to the line of accusing Bezos of improprieties, with a hysterical Stelter suggesting that this is the beginning of autocracy.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) joined a chorus of leftist voices begging Big Tech to censor more aggressively, hearkening back to the days of even more aggressive content moderation. 

CNN NewsNight has become the network’s Thunderdome with far-left host Abby Phillip and two or three liberal panelists squaring off with one or two actual, right-of-center conservatives for an entire hour. Given the fact that actual conservatives (or at least not Harris Republicans) are often brought in, it makes for compelling television. Thursday night was the case with conservative…

CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter joined The Source host Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday to react to Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier. Stelter tied himself into a rhetorical pretzel as he tried to simultaneously claim that Baier is basically “a Trump surrogate,” but also that “adversarial interviews are a good thing.”

Appearing on CNN News Central on Tuesday morning, CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter talked up former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley calling Donald Trump a "fascist to the core" in a book by Bob Woodward, and mused over the possibility that Democrat Kamala Harris might try to draw attention to the attack during her interview with Fox News host Bret Baier.

After murmurs lasting well over a year, CNN CEO Mark Thompson pulled the trigger Tuesday on his plan to supposed reinvigorate the annoyingly smug, dying, and far-left network (aside from greats Scott Jennings and David Urban) by charging frequent fliers of CNN.com — which in of itself is comical — a rate of $3.99 a month. CNN and Thompson believe this will ensure the network’s survival, but…

Amid the less-than-shocking news that post-Chris Licht CNN is bringing Brian Stelter back as "Chief Media Analyst," we at NewsBusters insist that the sequel Stelter 2: Electric Boogaloo be accompanied by some small measure of repentance.for all of the remarkable arrogance that made him the poster boy of the philosophy that liberal tilt is mandatory, and at the same time, we're not on…

You read that correctly. The liberal media’s janitor, Brian Stelter will be returning to CNN two years after being canned amid network-wide shake ups under the leadership of since-ousted boss Chris Licht. That’s according to a Tuesday scoop by Stelter’s former CNN media beat buddy Dylan Byers, and later confirmed by Stelter on X and in a post from the resurrected Reliable Sources Newsletter.…

In the last eight years, the media have left their biased fingerprints all over the news, starting with their hostile coverage of Trump. Yet our archives are full of quotes from journalists insisting that they have no partisan axe to grind.

Should the upcoming debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump focus on policy or personality questions? For former CNN media correspondent and current Vanity Fair special correspondent Brian Stelter, the answer depends on who is attacking whom. On Thursday’s CNN News Central, Stelter claimed the debate poses a great opportunity for Biden to attack…
