Grab the Popcorn: Brian Stelter's Days at CNN Are Reportedly Numbered

For anyone who’s watched Brian Stelter at CNN over the years, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would give him a job or keep him on. The fact that CNN has for so long says how little their news/media coverage is worth.
But Jeff Zucker is gone, and the new Discovery owners allegedly want to take CNN back to their news roots and limit the opinion content. That’s not good news for someone like Brian Stelter, whose whole shtick isn’t reporting news — it’s just attacking Fox.
We saw on Friday how Stelter reached new heights of bootlicking, being a shill to defend White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki after she attacked Fox News’ reporter, Peter Doocy. Psaki claimed that Fox fed Doocy questions to ask Psaki, and that “might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a b**ch.”
Stelter dared to say that she didn’t “criticize him directly.” Not only that, he didn’t criticize her attack on the press or their right to ask questions. If it had been the Trump Administration, we never would have heard the end of it from him in response — we would have heard how the press was being threatened and that the end of democracy was nigh.
But Stelter has been a nightmare for years. Recently, he got nailed for it in a glorious moment by a young student reporter at The Chicago Thinker during a “disinformation” conference that Stelter was speaking at — irony of all ironies. The student, Chris Phillips, told Tucker Carlson about the incident.
