CNN’s Brian Stelter portrays himself as a media analyst, however as a rule, what he truly does is media protection.

CNN propagandist and Democrat activist says ending large taxpayer subsidies to left-wing media outlet Politico is a “symbolic” gesture. I might love $32 million of “symbolism” to fund actual reporting at @FDRLST! https://t.co/E1HsrHuS5K

Care to justify the federal government subsidizing an allegedly unbiased information outlet, Brian?
Additionally possibly the difficulty of Politico by no means revealing this association? Feels slightly scandalous, do you agree? https://t.co/KdT1CNUlqR

Stelter is defending Politico as a result of they’re on the identical workforce. Do you suppose he can be dismissing this story if it was FOX Information receiving thousands and thousands of tax {dollars}? Not an opportunity. He can be the primary particular person to name it a scandal and everybody is aware of it, together with Brian.
