On any given day, CNN’s recently rehired propagandist Brian Stelter is gurgling lies to denigrate innocent people or otherwise deceive the public on behalf of Democrats in Washington. But one of his “Reliable Sources” daily newsletters this week was a dirty dump in its own league.
Here are three fat Stelter lies and deceptions from the Wednesday edition of his propaganda tip sheet.
MSNBC’s Squintiest Anchor to Interview Kamala Harris
Without a flicker or irony, Stelter noted in the top half of the letter that the vice president would be doing her first one-on-one national TV interview with a woman who literally just said there’s really no need for one. “This morning,” wrote Stelter, “MSNBC announced that 11pm host and NBC senior business analyst Stephanie Ruhle is sitting down with Harris in Pittsburgh, where the VP is holding an economy-focused campaign event.” At no point did Stelter acknowledge that just five days ago, Ruhle publicly dismissed the idea that there is any urgent need for Kamala, who is running for president of the United States, to subject herself to voter scrutiny through interviews.
New York Times writer Bret Stephens proposed on HBO’s “Real Time” Friday that voters aren’t nearly informed enough on Kamala’s policy positions, to which Ruhle sniffed, “Kamala Harris is not running for perfect, she’s running against Trump … and the kind of threat he is to democracy.” She further said that voters expecting to see Kamala answer questions would only be appropriate “when you move to Nirvana.”
