OPINION: Poor Brian Stelter, he is not a quick learner, is he? CNN’s biggest chucklehead and probably the lowest-rated fake news guy on cable TV has been dragged around Twitter like a used up rag doll more times than I can count–but he keeps coming back for more.
This time he decided to go after the King of Cable News, Tucker Carlson, and as with all things Brian does, it was a massive flop.
He ended up tucking his tail and waddling off.
It all started when Stelter aired a ridiculous segment on his low-rated CNN show where he claims that there’s no “anti-Trump” news programming.

It’s tone-deaf and dishonest to even suggest this, especially when poll after poll that shows the American people believe the media is biased against Trump and research studies show over 90 percent of coverage is “anti-Trump.”
In response, the Daily Caller put out a tweet highlighting #1 rated Tucker Carlson ripping Stelter for his stupid comment. Tucker also shared a slew of CNN clips, showingg how biased the network is against Trump.
Tucker Carlson rips into CNN and @brianstelter [4] for saying there are no media companies that exist to tear down Donald Trump and then plays clips of CNN's coverage of the president:

Stelter, who is notoriously thin-skinned, saw the post he was tagged in and commented. The always-defensive Stelter responded in typical hysterical fashion, spouting lies.
Funny how neither I nor CNN said what you, uh, just claimed we said. I merely asked a question, in the middle of a discussion about right-wing talk radio stars that rant instead of report. https://t.co/ThvVXnmHr9 [7]

But that wasn’t the end of it. Daily Caller responded back and walloped Donut Man with facts. And Brian tucks his tail and takes off running.
That's not a yes or no question. Nice try though. Have a good night.

That’s what happens when a dishonest hack like Stelter is faced with truth. He takes off running.
