[from February] Michael Wolff Rips Stelter for Lecturing on ‘Virtues of the Media’
Media ite ^ | February 5, 2017 | Justin Baragona

During an at times contentious exchange today on CNN’s Reliable Sources, The Hollywood Reporter columnist Michael Wolff criticized host Brian Stelter over the style and approach Stelter has taken of late on his program.

Wolff came on to essentially make the case that the media as a whole has been overreacting to the presidency of Donald Trump and what it means to journalism as a whole. After Stelter explained that the editor of the New Yorker told him that this is “an emergency” and that “journalists have to act differently,” Wolff dismissed it as the editor just being “personally offended and upset.”

While Wolff did admit that he is “sucking up a bit” in order to get access to the White House, he said he didn’t necessarily know if he was going easy on the White House to gain that access.

There is an interesting video that goes along with this that gives some indication that there was trouble ahead.

Ofc Wolff was sucking up just to fool ppl like Bannon. It is amazing that anyone ever let Wolff near the White House, never mind that they did interviews with him.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Wolff was simply buying himself a ticket into the White House.

Attack Trump’s lying media, and the attacker automatically becomes a “friend”.

Gain access to the White House as a mole. The mole doesn’t get much direct info, and has to make up a lot in order to bring the liberals what they were willing to get at any expense.

Looked like a dog and pony show between stelter and wolff from the start. They’d probably discussed and planned it together to ingratiate wolff to White House people and get his a** in the door.
