CNN’s Brian Stelter says Fox News 'really actually' must STOP picking on Mickey Mouse



CNN host Brian Stelter argued on "Reliable Sources" that "the talking point on the right “going into midterm elections "is about protecting kids from the dangers of the Walt Disney Company" and that horrible Fox News hosts are picking on Mickey Mouse in an attempt to "demonize Disney."

"We're seeing a theme of the midterm elections emerging," Stelter began. "The theme, the talking point on the right, is about protecting kids from the dangers of [pause for dramatic effect] the Walt Disney Company. Really."

He went on to explain how Disney is being targeted by angry conservatives because the company has come to represent the "growing acceptance of gay and transgender people."

Stelter backed his brilliant argument with articles written by other so-called "journalists" at CNN who parrot the fake leftist argument that Republican lawmakers are all about passing bills to attack the LGBTQ community.

"Some of those bills are framed as 'parental rights' bills," Stelter complained. "They're really actually anti-gay bills."

Really actually?

Presumably, Stelter thinks he's really actually talking about the ongoing clash between Walt Disney Co. and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill, which has falsely been labeled the "Don't Say Gay bill" to dupe dopes like CNN's most unreliable source who don't bother to read the laws they publicly oppose.

Several people on Twitter were quick to point out who really actually initiated the Disney-DeSantis battle:


The left picked the fight with Disney, Disney caved, then the Right is accused of picking a fight with Disney

This might not matter once your show is canceled, but didn't Disney strike first? Not only is "don't say gay" not in the bill, but Disney is not mentioned either.

I mean, Disney picked the fight.

Others pointed out a certain irony in the CNN host's defense of Disney:

Democratic congresswoman calls for 'truth commission' to root out 'extremist ideology' so Americans can have 'common narrative'



Earlier this month, the New York Times published a story saying "experts" suggested that President Joe Biden's administration should set up a "truth commission" and appoint a "reality czar" to battle "disinformation and domestic extremism."

Now a Democratic congresswoman also is touting a "truth commission."

Freshman U.S. Rep. Sara Jacobs on Sunday told CNN's Brian Stelter on his "Reliable Sources" program that we need a "truth commission" to put down "extremist ideology" so Americans can all have a "common narrative" about what is true and what isn't.

What are the details?

Before her "truth commission" declaration, Jacobs defined an "extremist" as one who's "unable to take in competing ideas and reflect the truth."

Not that such a condition isn't an issue with the left, but whatever — Stelter seemed to enthusiastically agree with her take.

Jacobs added that extremists believe their "sense of identity" is being threatened and lack "critical thinking skills" — and have this oh-so-problematic access to "common social networks" with those who share their views.

Stelter seemed to love what he was hearing. After all, a few weeks back he said he wanted the influence of "liar" Fox News reduced — and yet claimed his wish somehow wasn't "censorship."

So he took Jacobs words farther, invoking problems such as the "impact of cellphones and this constant connectivity, social networks and far-right television networks" — all of which are "fueling a fire" of extremism.

Jacobs replied by saying "we know the violence on [Jan. 6] was predicated on the idea of the 'big lie' — the fact that this election was stolen despite the fact that Donald Trump's own Department of Homeland Security says it was not. You need to be able to perpetuate that kind of lie in order to get the kinds of reactions that you did. I think we need to look at far-right media — which I know, Brian, you have been such a leader on calling out — and also the role of social media and the whole ecosystem of social media where the kinds of information and the kinds of posts that get the biggest reactions are the ones that are prioritized by their algorithms."

Soon Stelter added that for the United States "it's about a 'whitelash,' about a white Christian America reaction, backlash, to a changing country personified by Trump. But ... none of this is going away now, even though the [second impeachment] trial is over and even though one phase of Trumpism is over. You also said in an interview with the 19th News website this week that the country needs a truth commission. What exactly would a truth commission be?"

Jacobs explains what her 'truth commission' would look like

"Because we haven't really done the reckoning with the racial injustice and white supremacy of our past that we need to do," Jacobs replied. "And so ... a truth commission — a lot of people will think of South Africa --- we've used them in countries around the world. And basically ... it's communities all the way up to the national level having conversations about both the gory and the glory of our history and what happened — both throughout the history of our country and leading up to and on January 6 — so that we can come to a common narrative, moving forward, of what we want our country to be."

“We define an extremist ideology as one that is unable to reflect the truth. I think that’s exactly what we’re seei… https://t.co/iCA15rtKWX

Longtime CNN exec has advice for Brian Stelter and his left-wing 'Reliable Sources' show: Book some conservative guests



There's an old adage: Don't ask questions you don't want answers to.

It is one with which CNN left-wing media critic and show host Brian Stelter is apparently unfamiliar .

Stelter has enjoyed spreading anti-conservative viewpoints — especially attacks on right-leaning media — from his perch at the liberal progressive cable network.

So imagine the "Reliable Sources" host's surprise when a longtime CNN executive told Stelter that the way to make the Sunday show better is not to continue focusing on pushing liberalism but to get more conservative voices on the show.

What happened?

Stelter is known as a left-wing host whose biases show through regularly, and he uses his long-running "Reliable Sources" Sunday show to perpetuate his worldview and trash conservatives — both in the media and in politics. For example:

  • Just this week, he called for "liar" — and CNN competitor — Fox News' reach to be reduced, while claiming he wasn't calling for censorship.
  • Last fall, Stelter took a verbal beating for dismissing the Hunter Biden scandal as "unvetted" while having made his bones pushing the debunked claims of "collusion" between former President Donald Trump and Russia.
  • When his fellow leftist CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin was ousted just before the the 2020 election for masturbating during a video conference, Stelter lamented the network's decision, crying that Toobin had been "sidelined at a pivotal moment." That did not turn out well for Stelter.
  • Over the summer, when conservatives pointed out that the liberal media — including Stelter's own network — were urging then-candidate Joe Biden not to debate President Donald Trump, Stelter claimed it was just a "right-wing media tempest" and not an idea pushed by Biden-friendly outlets.

Being surrounded by like-minded people at CNN, he likely did not expect to get a lesson on responsible journalism from one of the network's best known and most respected higher-ups.

On the most recent episode of "Reliable Sources," Stelter interviewed Rick Davis, CNN's longest-serving executive and the founding executive producer of Stelter's show about Davis' upcoming retirement, long career, and life at CNN.

During the interview, Stelter pressed Davis for advice on how "Reliable Sources" could improve. The media veteran had some likely hard-to-swallow advice for his questioner.

"I think you need to strive to have more voices on the show from right-of-center — responsible voices from right-of-center — on the show," Davis told Stelter.

"And occasionally, when you can, you want to have some newsmakers on who can express to you how they feel about the media, particularly if they feel like the media got it wrong. And let them talk about it," he added.

With little more than a "hmm" and a nod, Stelter promptly moved past Davis' advice and went back to telling the CNN executive how great he is.

Fox News, Stelter's favorite target, reported that CNN did not respond to comment when asked if "Reliable Sources" would take Davis' advice to heart and actually get more conservative guests.
