CNN Host Gets Humiliated by Guest on His Own Show

CNN host Brian Stelter received a brutal lecture from a guest on his Sunday show.

So what

The Trump era may have dealt a death blow to the media’s credibility. 

The moment

Journalist Michael Wolff, who appeared on “Reliable Sources” to publicize his new book about the Trump administration, took the opportunity to harshly criticize Stelter: “You are one of the reasons why people can’t stand the media. I’m sorry.”

Brian Stelter has plumbed such depths of dishonesty that a sleazy muck-raker like Michael Wolff has plausibly assumed the higher ground in a discussion of journalistic integrity. https://t.co/nHL8FPeT4I

Money quote: “People have genuine problems with the media. The media doesn’t get the story right. The media exists in its own bubble.”

Same energy

In a June C-SPAN appearance promoting his own book, Stelter took a browbeating from multiple callers who questioned his intentions and credibility.
