CNN, the most trusted name in news once upon a time

 The calls to fire CNN Misinformation Maven Brian Stelter are coming from inside the house.  . . ."If Brian Stelter had even an ounce of integrity, he would have either put a stop to this or resigned. Instead, he participated in the three-way — as did Jake Tapper, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Alisyn Camerota, and the rest.". . .

The calls to fire CNN Misinformation Maven Brian Stelter are coming from inside the house.   

"Media critics are calling for Brian Stelter to be fired after failing to report the ‘open secret’ affair between top boss Jeff Zucker and staffer Allison Gollust.

" ‘The network needs to step up and fire Brian Stelter,’ a CNN insider tells DailyMail.com. ‘He is allegedly our top media reporter – yet he failed to report on the scoop that everyone in the office knew. And if he wants to say he didn’t know, he is truly terrible at his job.’ …

"A cable news veteran, who wishes not to be named, spoke of the close relationship between Stelter and Zucker.

" ‘Brian Stelter should be calling his agent to start looking for another job,’ they said. ‘He’s been Jeff Zucker’s water boy for years and no one believes he didn’t know about all of this.’ ". . .

The source added that Stelter often criticizes competing networks, like Fox News. ‘He’s been sitting on his moral high horse doing Jeff’s bidding and ripping Fox and every other media outlet that Jeff tells him to while his ratings crash and burn. Where was he on the biggest story at his own network after chastising everyone else?’. . .

McCreesh is right — there’s more going on here than meets the eye. And there will be more to come. CNN will need to clean house top to bottom, and I’ll have more on that in an upcoming post.

MSM Ignores Fact That CNN Went Into the Toilet Under Zucker – PJ Media  . . ."Here in the real world, if any of us did our jobs as poorly as Jeff Zucker after we were put in charge of something we’d have been thrown out of a window.

"Before Zucker took over the network, CNN had carved out a niche as the most centrist of the Big Three cable news networks. That was very relative, to be sure, but it was mostly accurate.

"Zucker then pointed CNN at the radical left cliff and pushed it off.

"The commie kids at CNN had a brief flirtation with success while soiling themselves over Trump’s presidency. Zucker was a one-trick pony, however. Once Trump was gone from office, CNN couldn’t quite move on from him.

"The ratings results of their obsession were disastrous."
