Really, Stelter? “No idea?”
During a recent appearance on the Dan Abrams Live, former CNN host Brian Stelter stopped by to play dumb, claiming he has no idea why he was fired from CNN despite terrible ratings and biased, inaccurate reporting.
From TownHall:
Former CNN host Brian Stelter revealed he does not know the reason why he was fired from CNN as their chief media correspondent and anchor of “Reliable Sources” by the new leadership.
Speaking on NewsNation with Dan Abrams, Stelter defended his tenure, which was constantly mocked for being disingenuous about liberal bias the mainstream media has and providing cover for news outlets that were not Fox News and Democrats.
“You recently left CNN…clear they kind of push you out,” Abrams said.
“I’ve embraced the f-word, Dan, fired!” Stelter said, laughing.
“Why do you think you got fired? Abrams asked.
“I don’t know…I really, truly don’t know,” Stelter said. “I know I had a popular show by CNN standards and I know that it was pretty cheap to produce. But I also know every show gets canceled eventually.”
