Video editor Bill D’Agostino and I were at the helm for boss Tim Graham for Monday’s show, which we hit the ground running on by reminiscing Brian Stelter’s infamous tenure at CNN and breaking down The final episodeOf Trustworthy Sources.
Stelter claimed to always be curious about how news is made, and was almost an ombudsman in the media. instead servedAs chief defender, janitor of their headquarters and chief defender. He was also one the most disliked figures within the liberal media.
Trustworthy Sources wasn’t always a conservative and Fox News hatefest as, from 1992 to 2013, it was helmed by reputable journalists Bernard Kalb and then Howard Kurtz. The new CNN boss Chris Licht along with his Warner Brothers Discovery bosses axed it Thursday as they begin making the changes we hope will return CNN to its center after many years of liberal and toxic advocacy.
After having watched the series finale so you don’t have to, we also discussed the worst moments, ranging from obsessing over Donald Trump to trumpeting the supposed plight of D.C. and New York-based reporters to the final guest in perpetual carnival barker Brian Karem.
We closed by sharing some of our favorite blogs from over the weekend, including a deranged take on MSNBC that our Mark Finkelstein would have been fitting if it had come from a gathering of people who believe the moon landing wasn’t real.
