CNN’s Brian Stelter’s Trashy New Book Contains Crude Slight About First Lady’s Sex Life
August 23, 2020 By Paulina Enck
A lot can be covered in a book exploring a sitting president’s relationship with the media. Speculations about his and his wife’s sex life, however, are not even close to relevant or appropriate.
CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter is publishing a book in which he alleges a dark and corrupt conspiracy between President Trump and Fox News, playing into popular leftist theories about the closeness between the White House and the network. In an excerpt released in Vanity Fair to promote the book, Stelter focused predominantly on Sean Hannity, but one other major player in Trump’s life is briefly touched on: his wife.
“Hannity counseled Trump at all hours of the day; one of his confidants said the president treated Hannity like Melania, a wife in a sexless marriage. Arguably, he treated Hannity better than Melania. Hannity’s producers marveled at his influence and access.â€
This is not an offhand reference buried in some midsection with no fanfare. Stelter was proud enough of this statement to include it in the preview he published in Vanity Fair as a sample of the book, used to drum up excitement and entice potential readers to purchase.
