CNN host Brian Stelter has again argued for Fox News and other conservative networks to be removed from television. Why? He claims, “Reducing a liar’s reach is not the same as censorship.” Wonder if Stelter has looked in the mirror lately?
Referring to what he labels “information pollution,” the CNN pundit accuses Fox News and others conservative networks as right wing outlets filling the public with misinformation. He added, “Freedom of speech is different from freedom of reach.”
These quotable soundbytes sound great, don’t they? There’s only one problem. They’re false. There’s this little thing in America called freedom of speech. This freedom allows conservative networks to speak out against mainstream lies, and allows mainstream channels like CNN to, well, keep lying.
Isn’t it enough “The most trusted name in news” calls states on election night for their favorites long before the election is concluded? Isn’t four-plus years of Trump-bashing enough? Why the need to seek removal of the very news networks CNN chooses to attack on a daily basis?
Brian Stelter is supposed to be a journalist, isn’t he? Doesn’t he desire freedom of press and protection for those who report the news? Apparently, only when it’s leftist news. His journalism bias is in full effect when he spouts his pro-Democrat views while calling to shut off the water hose for differing perspectives.
Comically, Stelter directly attack’s Fox News host Tucker Carlson for reporting CNN is trying to force their network off the air. Stelter states, “It’s patently false,” then claims exactly what he attacks, calling for the network to be removed.
In addition, he calls for a model similar to that used by social media for “reducing a liar’s reach.” Yet in the attempt to de-politicize social media, networks have removed Trump, shut down tens of thousands of accounts, fact-checked countless conservative posts, and completely deleted conservative social network Parler.
If this is the model, no thanks. Conservatives are already being silenced enough online and by the mainstream mafia. Fox News is not a radicalization pipeline; it’s one attempt to respond to the toxic leftist propaganda pumped out on CNN and the rest of the left-wing media.
And what is CNN worried about, anyway? The network’s ratings recently topped all cable news, including Fox News, to start 2021. While the rankings have largely changed due to conservatives switching away from the sliding conservative reporting of Fox News to newer outlets like Newsmax and One America News, CNN is already ranking number one. So why the attacks?
It seems winning isn’t good enough; the next step is to remove competition. Where have we seen this before? Maybe with Facebook, as it has bought up competitors such as Instagram and WhatsApp? Maybe with Google, buying up the little guys to eat up growing tech companies? Or maybe it is from Amazon, as it buys out one online competitor after another in its online monopoly?
If it works for Big Tech, maybe it will work for CNN? If that’s the plan, watch out. The threats to shut down conservative television are not a joke, but a very real part of dominating American eyeballs with views that report only the propaganda of the left.
leve fox news along tell the news right so every one con see whate is going know
Rebecca; Try using spell check.
Either Rebecca is 4 yrs old or is just another casualty of our education system.
I would like to see CNN and MSNBC taken off the air. They would not tell the truth if it hit them in the face
AGREE – they are the ones who do NOT provide HONEST information and call it NEWS – they should all be fired
watch newsmax
Hell yes. they are so stupid and say things that aren’t true.. they only lie to the American people..
the entire group of networks is owned by the deep state -we have no 4th estate as provided
for to represent us Brian Stelter and CNN are a disgrace to journalism,
AGREE 100%,cnn @msnbc NEED TO BE REPROGRAMED< RIGHT OFF THE AIR
You are so right! They don’t want people to know the truth.
So girly boy thinks he’s the beacon of truth, eh? That’s too funny!!
CNN and all the other news stations ran by Democrats tell only the shit they want Americans to know. If CNN and their employees had 1/2 a brain they would see all the corruption. These news reporters are full of crap…I’m not with any party, I vote for who I believe is the better person and President Trump is the better person over Biden.
CNN needs to FIRE their broadcast team and hire bias personnel. The NEWS should be BIAS!!!
Did you read the leaked page of joe Bidens daughter’s dairy telling that when she was growing up he made her take showers with him till she graduated high school..
Sick bastard should be hung …
Ouch
Mr Potato head is not a journalist any more than the rest of the liars on CNN and MSNBC. This hack lies all the time and gives his worthless opinion like its fact. He doesn’t care about free speech. He wants to silence the competition. He wants to silence us too just like a good little Marxist. When your argument can’t stand up to the truth, you try to get rid of the truth sayers.
Time for a televised debate between CNN host and conservative. No moderator, and arguments have to be proven. No talking points allowed. Who do you think would win?
This outrageous. I think this guy might need to be fact checked and put in his place. These guys are just supposed to report facts and not their views of what this means to me and my family. I believe I can determine for myself what the real facts mean to my family. I would like to know who these guys think they are to try to determine what I see or don’t see. Journalism is a dying occupation in this country. The training received by these propaganda pushers is inadequate. This is a failing in our education system and the supposedly higher learning institutions. Why not just take them all off of the air? (Which is easily done if you turn off your TV set. Even NPR and the Education channels are corrupt and biased because their funding comes from the Leftist Bias. There is no news any more just agendas.)
CNN (Crap News Network)
I can’t stand them as they are a bunch of Jabronis. For the few times that I decide to watch the news, I rather listen to Fox News Network.
Any resemblance between Brian Stelter and a real journalist, living or dead, is purely coincidental. In fact, CNN should run this disclaimer for ALL of their on-air “personalities.”
CNN (Communist News Network) will never be on my tv or any other device again. I haven’t had them on my news networks for 5 yrs now because or the non-stop deliberate lying and manipulation of facts. That’s not going to change. News should involve both sides of a story, and let the viewers decide what they believe. Not just one twisted, manipulated side. They remind me of a BULLY and the My way or no way” approach just doesn’t work.
Good for you on your discipline! I wish I had it. I allow myself 2 hours in the evening for Fox. Sometimes I run over because of Laura show. They are all excellent and tell news that other news channels skim over. WE Americans WANT to be in the know!
I refuse to watch CNN because in spite of what they claim, they aren’t really a news channel.
The other news channels do not tell the truth. How about it ? I want the truth and Fox has the best! The Fox Reporters work overtime to get results/news/FACTS to us Americans! Get rid of the other channels well some of them cnn and the likes of them!
newsmax
CNN is full of it to hell with them
All the spew against the left news networks. People, get a life. These so called reporters are not about reporting the news. They may claim to be but, that is not why they were hired. Their job is to push the left forward any way they can and that very simple is to censor the right, deframe the right, do any and everything to make the right hush and run. They are not concerned about telling them that they are liars, they have no fear of being sued or fired. The more push back they get, the higher their rating and the more money they take home, it is simple, America loves a dog fight. How many tune in just to see the twisted and opionated views being pushed and then, everyone jumps in and the name calling starts. Everyone has something to say, the likes, loves and hates, LOL. The left wins again. For real news there are sources but, for entertainment you watch the left and the left loves it, gotcha. The advertisers love it, the ads are there and they bring home the bacon. Needless to say, the Democrates love it because they follow and believe, the Republicans hate it but follow it to dispute the personal opinions instead of the facts, “Ring around the Rosie”. You want to stop it, watch the real news and stay away from the others, takes a real moran to be a sheeple. And last, least you think I am one of the morans, I travel to try and make people think about their actions, you do what you do but, at least open your eyes and see the long term results.
The entire media has been corrupted by the oligarchs who have destroyed our nation including Amanpour “The Old Prune faced liar”-Its a total disgrace-!
I just need honest, unbiased fact checked news reporting. CNN (Clinton News Network) never has or never will be a station in my house.
Agreed
I live in Australia I watch cnn 7 in Australia both should be off the air they are full of crap
Maybe Stelter would be happier if all the anchors on the networks he wishes to ban (call him Kommissar) just took out their privates during the news cast, then he wouldnt fell so all alone.
It is both ironic and definitely befitting that Brian Stelter’s initials are B.S.!
CNNl is l a communist organization that claims to be a news organization, we need to get IT off the air.!!!!!!!
I agree and take MSNBC with them!
Read the Left Behind Book series.
Brainless Stalker,? The idiot Seltzer . . . Or whatever Communist Traitors call themselves lately, is free to commit his own personal retroactive abortion anytime he wishes. Hanging is too good for the Treasonous Ilk Seltzer is a part of. . . Maybe he could perform his own frontal lobotomy using a power drill and a 2 inch paddle bit?
CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, LET’S INCLUDE ALL THE LAME STREAM MEDIA. HAVE BEEN BRAIN WASHING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS!!! THEY DELIVER THE NEWS THE WAY THEY WANT YOU TO HEAR IT. ALL EDITED, GIVING YOU LIE AFTER LIE ABOUT OUR PRES. TRUMP. AS SOON AS PRES. TRUMP ANNOUNCED HE WAS GOING TO DRAIN THE SWAMP THEY BEGAN MOBILIZING AGAINST HIM!! THAT WAS THE FATAL MISTAKE HE MADE, NEVER LET YOUR ENEMIES KNOW YOUR PLANS!! ANYONE WHO IS NOT BRAIN DEAD COULD FIGURE OUT THIS: THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS, MILLIONS OF JOBS HAVE BEEN CREATED, MANUFACTURING HAVE RETURNED TO THE U. S. FROM OVER SEAS AND MEXICO. WE ARE NOT PAYING ALL THE MEMBERSHIP FEES FOR THE U.N. AND OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE NOT PAID FOR MANY YEARS. DIFFERENT FEES WE HAVE BEEN SHOULDERING FOR MANY YEARS. PRES. TRUMP MADE THE OTHER COUNTRIES COUGH UP THEIR SHARE. FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE ARE ENERGY INDEPENDENT!!! WE ARE NOT PAYING THROUGH THE NOSE FOR ENERGY. GAS IS $2.00 A GALLON OR LESS NOT 4-5-6.00 PER GALLON. OTHER COUNTRIES ARE BUYING ENERGY FROM US!! I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT EVERYTHING PRES. TRUMP HAS DONE FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE US. HE TRULY LOVES THIS COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE. NOW YOU THINK THAT IF THOSE BRAIN DEAD PEOPLE WHO BUY EVERYTHING THE LAME STREAM MEDIA SAYS ABOUT HIM THAT A LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND THEY COULD FIGURE OUT THEY HAVE BEEN LIED TO FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND ARE CONTINUING TO BE LIED TOO!! HOPE YOU A–H—-ENJOY LIVING IN A COMMUNIST COUNTRY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO BECOME. LOSS OF FREE SPEECH, RELIGION, TO ARM OURSELVES, THEY WILL EVENTUALLY GET TO ALL OF THEM. HOWEVER THOSE OF US WHO SAW THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE WILL BE FORCED TO LIVE THAT WAY TOO. THEY STOLE THE ELECTION FROM 75 MILLION OF US, LET’S TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!! CHINA IS OUR BIGGEST ENEMY!! BUT NOT TO BIDEN, HE IS TOO BUSY MAKING MILLIONS FOR HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY!!!
You are almost totally correct, however, our founders always said we will never lose this country to an outside force , Communism is not a threat, it was Corrupted capitalism and
our very own insiders that destroyed our nation-The oligarchy did Trump in, Trump was feared because he proved we dont need a major party to elect a citizen, it had them shaking in their boots -Then along came the RHINOS and they helped wall street and the media
mongrels in stealing an election-the threat was always from the inside of the beast
CNN are a bunch of liars & so are all the guests they bring. They’re really one sided and will never show anything from 2 points of views.
I don’t watch CNN, the Communist News Network, formally known as the Clinton News Network. Both are bad, and Humpty Dumpty Brian is a joke. The man wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face. They all lie so much, and had so many people believing their drivel, they voted for another liar, Biden. They should all be fired ASAP. Don’t watch and eventually they will go under. Their ratings are pretty darn low now. Stop watching.
You really want to see a civil war don’t you baldy.
no
I want to see The view taken off the air. Do I get what I want?
What the heck is wrong with MSNBC and CNN…truth sayers my butt! These lying sacks of crap should be booted off tv immediately (actually a long time ago)! Deplorables like this little fat head Stelter and his ignorant buddies Cuomo, Lemon (who is a real lemon) and the other two talking heads Joe Scarborough and his creepy wife needs their butts booted as well! We Americans need to boycott these stations immediately and not return until they get real journalists to speak the truth!
First Stelter was on Fox news before he GOT FIRED! He was fired because he kept LYING on his report! Never told the truth when he was asking! All he said was I HAVE MY RESOURCES! Now we can get back to being honest in the media. But I don’t think there is a reporter who understands what the first amendment say! Because it the first amendment that give them FREE PRESS! AS WELL AS FREE SPEECH! But do they realize that Biden and the DEMOCRAT want to DESTORY the CONSTITUTION LAW? SO THERE GONE FREE PRESS AND FREE SPEECH! CNN IS A COMMUNIST NEW NETWORK! Could not survive if CHINA OR IRAN WAS IN CONTROL! There will be lot of people without their own HEAD! To all you fool who voted for Biden and the lies! Hope you read what was reported out of IRAN AND NORTH KOREA! You just put yourself in harm way! First CHINA want to bomb Taiwan! North Korea has made a threatened to Biden. Iran is a few weeks away from a NUCLEAR BOMB( REMEMBER OBAMA AND BIDEN ALONG WITH THE DEMOCRAT HOUSE AGREE TO GIVE IRAN BILLION OF DOLLARS) That was breaking the CONSTITUTION LAW! IF You read it you will come to the part where it says It AGAINST THE LAW TO AIDING THE ENEMY! WHERE WAS THE DOJ? FBI? REPUBLICAN? Obama should had been IMPEACHED AND ARRESTED FOR SEDITION AND TREASONOUS AGAINST AMERICA! ALONG WITH BIDEN! HILLARY? OH don’t forget she WAY PASS DUE THE EXECUTED DATE! She sold Russia URANIUM! THE STUFF YOU NEED TO MAKE A NUCLEAR BOMB! And come to think of it. IRAN BUY BOMB MATERIAL FROM RUSSIA! NOW IF YOU WANT TO IMPEACHED TRUMP A SECOND TIME. YOU BETTER ROUND UP THESE PEOPLE AND IMPEACHED THEM OR PUT THEM IN PRISON! I BETTER BRING IN THE BIGGEST TRAITOR IN OUR COUNTRY– JOHN KERRY! MAN WHO SOLD HIS DAUGHTER IN MARRIED TO OUR ENEMY SON!
Besides having more forehead than MT. MCKINLEY, HE’S NOT ALLOWED TO QUESTION OR MAKE DEROGATORY STATEMENTS about BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SO HE COMES AFTER CONSERVATIVES! Waste of time and money for whoever he works for!
Brian Seltzer is an anti-American transgender. He is brain dead and a fool. Time to put this guy in a mental institute. The sooner the better.
If any news network should be pulled from the air WORLD WIDE, it SHOULD BE CNN the Communist News Network. Those A-holes @ CNN have been twisting stories and telling outright LIES for so many years, they don’t even realize they are doing it. Everyone at CNN is like that strange kid in school, that would pick his bugger filled nose, then eat it without even thinking. I would love to BAN CNN and every single person that works under any part of the CNN company from ever being on the air, in news or voice heard in any way, shape or form forever, even as a voice in a child’s cartoon or movie. Destroy George Soros, Mike Bloomberg, All the top Democrats in office, CNN, Twitter, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon. They are all communist or communist run, America hating people and companies.
JMG Leduc, I m sure you ve had a proper education and know enough to use spell check, a nice suggestion JMG but you need to be a little kinder to Rebecca and others. Think about how you say things to others, there is way too much hate going on! Put yourself in her shoes before you blurt out a sarcastic one.
Brian wouldn’t know the truth if it looked like toilet paper
I am a Canadian and while some may think your business isn’t mine just remember; we share the longest unprotected border in the world; we are primary trading partners; we are culturally almost identical; speak the same language and unfortunately our little communist leader Justin follows on the heels of your Democratic – that’s laughable- party’s abomination of leadership principles. I love America. I so wish I could have lived there. Americans are strong people and aren’t usually pushed around. Biden is a bully and a mean mouthed dictator out for himself. Easy job. Just keep signing executive orders prepared by his leftist cohort. The mere fact that main stream media refuses to acknowledge what is really happening right now to your beautiful country is treasonous. Fox news is my go to programming for the truth. Pray that they survive the onslaught of the extreme radicals which seem to come out of the woodwork everywhere and whose goal is the destruction of the truth. These traitors need to be stopped. How?
CNN and MSNBC love to propagate their lies. It seems like they are scared of the right wing. Too bad! Freedom of speech cannot be silenced!
Shawn H of Fox News refers to Brian S and may have started the Mr. Potato Head term so that is why he wants to censor Fox News.
This is potentially a very important remark by CNN because what the government does will let those of us who worry about things like Free Speech know whether or not is safe to remain in this country. Big Tech’s silencing the political right should be prompting all of us not so much to fight against the private companies engaged in this behavior but to encourage our own people to develop platforms that can help make them irrelevant for us. I do not doubt this will happen eventually. I’d like to see us doing whatever we can to encourage the process to speed up. I, for one, do not believe that Fox News’ audience has now switched to CNN or MSNBC. I think many of them have switched to newer politically-right channels. I suspect, if Fox News doesn’t mess things up, the audiences will return to Tucker Carlson, Hannity, Laura, etc. In any case, Fox News and the other right-wing channels have made CNN and MSNBC irrelevant for us. The Wall Street Journal and the NY Post, while not perfect, have made the NY Times irrelevant for us. Now, all we need are our own Big-Tech platforms, ways for us to have our own YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Come on, children, faster, please.
CNN is a disgrace.Your report of news, is not news to inform people of truths. I am disguisted with the contant lying and disrespect for President Trump. Then when his family was also attacked and after he is out of office the CNN bad mouths continue to sphew more hate and start attacking Trump’s family, anything from how his wife dresses in expensive clothing and the worst first lady ever to his children. Hateful, childish behavior and you show the WORLD how you itiots have divided our country. …Are you all freeking kindergartners. Shame on you and it all comes back, When you speak lies and hate, you will get your rewards…
CNN is nothing but big bullies like the Democrats! We do not want their opinions, do not understand when they thought we needed or wanted their opinion, all we ever wanted was factual news certainly not this fools opinion or advice!!!!
Thank you Canadian friend for your kind words!!
I agree with Patricia. Also, we need the FCC to reverse their decision of 8/4/87 when it voted to abolish the Fairness Doctrine, which required radio and television stations to present balanced coverage of controversial issues.
Stop this back and forth. The American people need to stick together and do something. We need to take our country back and show these lies. But we have no DOJ, FBI, Attorney General or Homeland Security – these are all owed by THE LEFT. So, how do we the AMERICAN people get the TRUTH out?????
