  • Brian Stelter out at CNN

    "Reliable Sources" host is out, and his show cancelled. Such a shame for a such a clearly non-partisan media watchdog such as himself to be fired....just as CNN was trying to go less partisan too.

    It was people like him that convinced voters to switch from Trump to Biden, and bring forth all the chaos that followed.

    Good riddance.

      I was ok with him. I'll admit it's been a while since I could catch his show so maybe he changed since I last watched him. He was like most CNN news commentary shows I could agree with parts and disagreed with others. I at least appreciated the honesty in his advertising which ran something like "He'll discuss the issues from one perspective - his own." At least he had up front advertising that he was biased.

        My understanding that as "Chief Media Correspondent" he was responsible for a great deal more CNN commentary than strictly his own show. My father-in-law is a CNN zombie; glazed eyes and probably drools while watching this channel all day. I blame CNN for that. He used to be more of an independent thinker. Now, he parrots whatever they are saying.

          The few times I watched him after, under new ownership, CNN announced a change of direction, Stelter seemed defiant and determined to stay-the-course.

          Coincidently, a bit less than a week since Jeffrey Keep-those-hands-away-from-your-lap Toobin announced he would be leaving CNN.

            Do you figure that, if the Republicans have their red wave, that not too long after your fil will ask if you've heard about old Joe being cognitively challenged?

              Stetler had the most ironically named show on CNN.

                I hope he will snap out of it. He likes to say "Trump is a crook." If I ask him to elaborate, he says "He just is."

                  Reminds me of a story my pastor once told a number of years ago. He was at a barber shop, and one of regulars was going on and on about how terrible "the Bush doctrine" was. Finally, my pastor asked, "And what, exactly, is 'the Bush doctrine'?" The man became angry when he realized he actually had no idea.

                    Tucker's take on the most ironic and un-self-aware human being there ever was in media about a year before this.

                      Sounds like CNN is moving in the right direction.

                        More like belatedly cutting your loses. Attempting to stop the bleeding while your patient has already flatlined.

                          Virtually any change would cause that.

                            And I think Fox News is moving in the wrong direction. You know their streaming service FoxNation? They seem to be turning it into some conspiracy nutjob network and they keep shilling it on regular fox news. Tucker Carlson apparently has a show on FN about Cattle Mutilations, and I have seen commercials for shows about alien abductions, conspiracy shows pushing the Denver airport conspiracy, Free Masons controlling the world, and other stuff. They are feeding into the liberal narrative that all conservatives are gullible conspiracy nuts. smh.

                              Tucker has been on the alien/UFO thing for a couple of years now. It all helps ratings I guess...
