It didn’t take long for the job offers to start rolling in for Brian Stelter – and those were some of the better attempted conservative Twitter dunks on the “Reliable Sources” host the day his ouster from CNN was announced. Greg Gutfeld, host and ringleader of Fox News’ after-dark scrum “Gutfeld!,” tweeted mere minutes following the news break Thursday, and kept it simple: “Yo @brianstelter – my show is hiring,” said the host of what is now the highest-rated show in late night. It didn’t take long for the job offers to start rolling in for Brian Stelter – and...

CNN anchor Brian Stelter on Friday refused to walk back inaccurate claims he promoted on his program when he claimed Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” emails were “Russian disinformation.” “Hey, just curious, when did I claim ‘Hunter Biden’s laptop emails were likely Russian propaganda’? Can you send me the quote?” he sent in a direct message on Twitter to this reporter, a reference to a Thursday Breitbart News article in which he was listed along with 14 others in establishment media for falsely suggesting the laptop was Russian propaganda and disinformation.

CNN’s Brian Stelter questioned whether President Joe Biden might be forced to forgo re-election in 2024 because of his legally-embattled son: Hunter Biden. Stelter spoke to Michael LaRosa on Sunday, about two weeks after LaRosa left his job as press secretary for First Lady Jill Biden. Part of the conversation on Reliable Sources wound up revolving around the increasingly vocal calls from those who say Biden shouldn’t seek a second term in the Oval Office. ...... Snip...... "What about his son?” Stelter pivoted. “What about Hunter? Hunter under federal investigation, charges could be coming at any time. This is not...

CNN Chief Media Potato Brian Stelter is angry these days. He's angry at Tucker Carlson for being prettier than him and with better ratings. He's angry pranksters in the office keep leaving potatoes on his desk with notes that say, "This is you." He's angry that CNN+ is already going tits up and that no one will tell him what "tits" means. And he's angry that conservatives are being mean to Disney and being way too mean to groomers, or to be more precise with language, people who think five-year-olds should be indoctrinated with liberal sex and gender ideology who...

Conservatives rarely get opportunities to gloat as delicious as the rapid demise of the streaming service CNN+, reportedly the brainchild of Jeff Zucker, the now ex-head of CNN, the man who dragged the cable news pioneer far to the left. The humiliation stains not just Zucker and CNN, but also Chris Wallace, who left Fox News on a high horse, taking aim at Tucker Carlson and the prime-time opinion hosts at the cable news leader. Already shamed by the fact that Fox News Sunday ratings went up after he left, Wallace now has to contend with savage mockery by the...

A CNN insider previously told...

CNN’s media-centric show “Reliable Sources” hosted by Brian Stelter had its worst-rated episode since September 2019. Stelter’s show logged just 580,000 last Sunday, and a mere 73,000 viewers in the all-important 25-to-54-year-old demographic, Fox News reported. The show lost 13% of the total audience and it marked Stelter’s smallest audience since Sept. 15, 2019. “MediaBuzz,” which airs at the same time on Fox News, averaged 1.4 million total viewers and 189,000 in the 25-54 demo, crushing Stelter’s show, which has been under a microscope since Chris Licht, CNN’s new boss, took the helm in May. Licht, who succeeded Jeff Zucker...

“Reliable Sources,” the media-news program that has been on CNN since 1993, is the latest piece of content to go on the chopping block under the cost-cutting regime of Warner Bros. Discovery. The show, which has grown from a dusty public affairs program in its earliest days to a lean-forward show that often took on Fox News and President Donald Trump under former CNN chief Jeff Zucker, will broadcast its last episode on Sunday, August 21. Its anchor, Brian Stelter, will leave the company. “We appreciate his contributions to the network and wish him well as he embarks on new...

Economist Paul Krugman argued on Sunday the United States is not in a recession and it doesn’t matter anyway. “None of the criteria that real experts use says we’re in a recession right now, and what does it matter?” he dismissively told CNN’s Brian Stelter. “The state of the economy is what it is. Jobs are abundant, although maybe the job market is weakening. Inflation is high, although maybe inflation is coming down. What does it matter whether you use the “r” word or not?” The Left has been fiercely pushing back on the definition of a recession, commonly accepted...

Jankowicz was scrutinized for her history of spreading misinformation, such as a story denying the existence of the Hunter Biden laptop. According to critics, DHS’ new board resembled George Orwell’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ from 1984 and was designed to silence conservative voices. It is clear from the novel that the ministry was used to spread information – and that it was able to rewrite the history of a fictional world in order to change the facts. After just a few weeks, the DHS shut down the board for a “pause”, and its head, Jankowicz, resigned.

“Is the potato baked?” a friend said to me about the Stelter rumors that are swirling.Ten days ago Axios reported that CNN’s new boss, Chris Licht, had zeroed in on Stelter and Jim Acosta as particularly egregious partisans within a network line-up that reliably tilts liberal. Licht wants the new CNN to be less sensationalistic — no more “breaking news” banners unless there really is breaking news, for instance — and less overtly hostile to Republicans. Licht is “determined to tamp down spectacle and has discouraged the presentation of content in an alarmist fashion,” a source told Fox News. He’s...

We've seen a few recent stories where Normals hit back against The Radical Left and the stuffy Vichy Republicans would be quick to sniff that "It's not who we are!": and condemn the Normals that they claim to represent. To quickly recap some fronts in this battle, the 47 year old Mistress of Doxxing, Taylor Lorenz, has had friends and family harassed, Candace Owens has been knocking on the door of leaders of the BLM (No, not Burn Loot Murder - it's now Build Large Mansions), while a few members of the Conservasphere have turned XiNN's Brian Stelter into a...

Former Fox News anchor and now former CNN+ anchor Chris Wallace admitted Sunday night his professional future remains unclear. When asked by moderator Jacqueline Adams if he had any personal revelations to share following the shutdown of CNN+ last week, the 74-year-old joked he had no breaking news to share. “Frankly, what I’m mostly concerned about right now, and very, is my team and hundreds of other people … that had jobs at CNN+,” Wallace said. “Some of them had left CNN to go to streaming. Some of them had left other places, moved across the country. And so I...
