Brian Stelter

CNN NewsNight has become the network’s Thunderdome with far-left host Abby Phillip and two or three liberal panelists squaring off with one or two actual, right-of-center conservatives for an entire hour. Given the fact that actual conservatives (or at least not Harris Republicans) are often brought in, it makes for compelling television. Thursday night was the case with conservative…

CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter joined The Source host Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday to react to Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier. Stelter tied himself into a rhetorical pretzel as he tried to simultaneously claim that Baier is basically “a Trump surrogate,” but also that “adversarial interviews are a good thing.”

Appearing on CNN News Central on Tuesday morning, CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter talked up former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley calling Donald Trump a "fascist to the core" in a book by Bob Woodward, and mused over the possibility that Democrat Kamala Harris might try to draw attention to the attack during her interview with Fox News host Bret Baier.

After murmurs lasting well over a year, CNN CEO Mark Thompson pulled the trigger Tuesday on his plan to supposed reinvigorate the annoyingly smug, dying, and far-left network (aside from greats Scott Jennings and David Urban) by charging frequent fliers of CNN.com — which in of itself is comical — a rate of $3.99 a month. CNN and Thompson believe this will ensure the network’s survival, but…

Amid the less-than-shocking news that post-Chris Licht CNN is bringing Brian Stelter back as "Chief Media Analyst," we at NewsBusters insist that the sequel Stelter 2: Electric Boogaloo be accompanied by some small measure of repentance.for all of the remarkable arrogance that made him the poster boy of the philosophy that liberal tilt is mandatory, and at the same time, we're not on…

You read that correctly. The liberal media’s janitor, Brian Stelter will be returning to CNN two years after being canned amid network-wide shake ups under the leadership of since-ousted boss Chris Licht. That’s according to a Tuesday scoop by Stelter’s former CNN media beat buddy Dylan Byers, and later confirmed by Stelter on X and in a post from the resurrected Reliable Sources Newsletter.…

In the last eight years, the media have left their biased fingerprints all over the news, starting with their hostile coverage of Trump. Yet our archives are full of quotes from journalists insisting that they have no partisan axe to grind.

Should the upcoming debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump focus on policy or personality questions? For former CNN media correspondent and current Vanity Fair special correspondent Brian Stelter, the answer depends on who is attacking whom. On Thursday’s CNN News Central, Stelter claimed the debate poses a great opportunity for Biden to attack…

Brian Stelter is back on CNN again, claiming that somehow the videos showing Joe Biden bumbling are somehow sometimes “made up.” CNN host Abby Phillip asked Stelter on Monday about what's being "deceptively characterized" in Biden's public appearances. Stelter claimed: "This is a real problem. This is not some made-up fiction. The videos are oftentimes made up, but the problem is real."

Joy Reid hosted a panel of clowns on Wednesday’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut to denounce local news stations questioning President Biden’s mental acuity. The panel of lefties condemned the Sinclair Broadcast Group for broadcasting a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report on the president’s age as it affects the election. They also portrayed the group as an insidious promoter of…

Rachel Maddow told CNN's Oliver Darcy she's worried Trump will put her in a camp. Brian Stelter said it's right for Maddow to be "thinking aloud" about a Trump second term. Seconds before, he said the right-wingers uncork crazy conspiracy theories.

Is The New Republic still an opinion journal, or has it turned into a science-fiction magazine? For their June issue, the magazine put Donald Trump on the cover with a Hitler moustache over the headline “American Fascism: What It Would Look Like.” Brian Stelter penned a fictional article titled “Revenge and Freedom From Fact: On the media in a fascist America."

As part of MSNBC’s never-ending Trump trial coverage, former CNN host Brian Stelter arrived on The Beat with Ari Melber to mock all the politicians and Fox News hosts showing up at the courtroom. He said Democrats won't show up to Hunter Biden's trial, or the Bob Menendez trial! But there's an obvious rejoinder: Will CNN or MSNBC show up to cover the Democrat trials? Or will they get…

Former CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter returned to the network on Monday’s CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip to acknowledge that while there have been insistences of anti-Semitism among the Columbia campers, “we should try to remain as free of judgment of the students as we can” because he, his fellow panelists, and most of his viewers used to be students as well.
