NewsBusters Podcast: Stelter's Biased, Partisan 'ReidOut' on Who's the Truth

January 11th, 2024 3:30 PM

Eyeballs were rolled when Brian Stelter argued to MSNBC's Joy Reid that Fox's audience is radicalized and wants to be dangerously misinformed, and in response, "It is not biased or partisan to tug on the side of truth." Leftists constantly justify their righteous declarations of Democratic spin as the essence of what the late John McLaughlin used to call "ontological certitude."

Earlier in this segment Stelter borrowed this Margaret Sullivan trope. the "reality-based world," which he described as Democrats, moderates, independents, and Chris Christie. You are required to oppose Trump as a mortal threat, or you don't qualify as "reality-based."

Greg Gutfeld’s comedy show on Fox loves making fun of Stelter, but it was a pretty sweet pairing to make fun of Brian as you’re making fun of Don Lemon getting a show on X – or Twitter, as we know it. Lemon touted his new show for having "no hall monitors," which we all use as lingo for Stelter. 

Finally, Joe Biden launched his 2024 campaign with two speeches ripping Trump and the "MAGA Republicans" for hating democracy and employing violence. The "independent fact-checkers" had plenty of opportunities to pluck from Biden's speeches for inaccuracy or unfairness, and they have failed to engage.
