Reporters Act Stupidly, Clutch Pearls After Fox News' Kennedy Calls Brian Stelter 'Tater' During Broadcast

Sister Toldjah


"Did you hear the news? Fox News’ Kennedy called Brian Stelter “Tater” on Tuesday and we should all be outraged about it, because unlike CNN and MSNBC, pretty much everyone else in America should show reverence and respect to the same guy who equates conservatives to nutjobs and terrorists on an almost-daily basis.

"Mediaite was one of several news sites that did write-ups about the horrific moment when the Fox Business Network anchor “lobbed personal insults” by saying “Tater’s gonna tater” on Tuesday’s “Outnumbered” broadcast:

On Tuesday, the Fox talk show held a segment on personal attacks the media aims at conservatives. The grievances included a Washington Post cartoon that depicted President Donald Trump’s backers in his attempt to overturn the election as rats. The segment also took issue with Stelter’s Reliable Sources monologue arguing that right wing media is furthering “radicalization” of the country.

Lawrence Jones called the commentary “disgusting”, and Emily Compagno argued that Joe Biden’s calls for national reconciliation are hollow words from the president-elect. Kennedy added that free speech must be protected no matter how “abhorrent, simplistic, overly busy, unreadable,” or “unpopular” it might be …

"She then committed the grave sin of insulting Stelter in response to his comparison of Republicans to ISIS terrorists. “I’m going to steal a line from [right wing commentator] Stephen Miller,” she said. “Tater’s gonna tater. He might be the most unsophisticated analyst in the history of media analysis. He’s not just ham-fisted, he’s ham-headed.' ”   . . .
