NewsBusters Podcast: Christopher Phillips and The Scorching Repudiation of Brian Stelter

In this episode, the guest is college student Christopher Phillips of the Chicago Thinker, who is now the toast of all conservative media for throwing a rip-roaring hardball question at Brian Stelter at the recent so-called “disinformation” conference at the University of Chicago. He wondered if journalistic ethics had died. Stelter’s answer seemed to say Yes. 

Stelter insulted Phillips, the media, and the public. He claimed there wasn’t anything to be sorry for about how CNN misrepresented Russian collusion. Phillips said after the panel was over, Stelter came over and was bitter, angry, and “super-frustrated” at the question, even though many Americans wanted an answer. Stelter, Phillips said, is disgraceful for trying to make fun of conservative journalists and fake news.
