And if he wants to say he didn\u2019t know, he is truly terrible at his job.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>A cable news veteran, who wishes not to be named, spoke of the close relationship between Stelter and Zucker.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u2018Brian Stelter should be calling his agent to start looking for another job,\u2019 they said. \u2018He\u2019s been Jeff Zucker\u2019s water boy for years and no one believes he didn\u2019t know about all of this.\u2019<\/p>\n[\u2026]\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s been sitting on his moral high horse doing Jeff\u2019s bidding and ripping Fox and every other media outlet that Jeff tells him to while his ratings crash and burn. Where was he on the biggest story at his own network after chastising everyone else?\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure how Stelter was supposed to report out his own boss having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate. That would be a blatant act of insubordination, a violation of trust. So my issue with Stelter is not so much his silence but his willingness to service the cover-up of the affair with blatant misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>We now know that the day before Radar Online broke the story of Zucker\u2019s affair with Allison Gollust (who holds the number two spot at CNN), Stelter published a non sequitur in his newsletter attacking Radar as \u201cnutty\u201d and not \u201cswayed by reality.\u201d Here\u2019s the full story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/the-media\/2022\/02\/03\/nolte-brian-stelter-smeared-radar-online-hours-before-news-broke-of-zucker-affair\/\">on that<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>That timing is not a coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s one thing to ignore or remain silent regarding something internal. It\u2019s quite another to service something so obviously sleazy and unethical.<\/p>\n<p>As CNN\u2019s media reporter, Stelter should have been sounding the alarm internally about how the Zucker-Gollust affair was undermining the newsroom\u2019s integrity. If that effort went nowhere, he should have resigned on principle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19741682\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-1358664851.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19741682\" src=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/02\/GettyImages-1358664851-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Brian Stelter attends The 15th Annual CNN Heroes: All-Star Tribute at American Museum of Natural History on December 12, 2021 in New York City. (Michael Loccisano\/Getty Images for CNN.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It is just a fact that the Zucker-Gollust affair poisoned everything and everyone at CNN. And while this was happening, and while Stelter knew it was happening, he not only eagerly swallowed the poison, he got on his self-righteous high-horse lecturing others about capital \u201cJ\u201d journalism.<\/p>\n<p>What you have to know is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/the-media\/2022\/02\/03\/nolte-everyone-at-cnn-serviced-the-zucker-gollust-cuomo-affair\/\">this<\/a>\u2026 That before she joined Zucker at CNN in 2013 (just after Zucker took over), Gollust served as then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s (D-NY) communications director. From there, the dots are easy to connect. Gollust goes to work for CNN, and what happens? CNN turns itself over to advancing Andrew Cuomo\u2019s political career. Andrew\u2019s little corrupt brother Chris is given a morning anchor job, and after he fails there, he\u2019s still promoted to primetime. Worse still, between 2019 and 2020, on behalf of the Jeff Zucker-Allison Gollust-Andrew Cuomo three-way, the entire network, everyone who works there, spent a whole year positioning Andrew to become president.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Everyone covered up Andrew\u2019s scandals and sought to delegitimize his critics. Andrew was allowed to join his brother\u2019s primetime show to burnish his image. CNN spent months and countless hours presenting Andrew to the world as America\u2019s Governor and president-in-waiting.<\/p>\n<p>If Brian Stelter had even an ounce of integrity, he would have either put a stop to this or resigned. Instead, he participated in the three-way \u2014 as did Jake Tapper, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Alisyn Camerota, and the rest.<\/p>\n<p>They all knew about the three-way, and they all serviced it by aiding and abetting Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>So the only thing that separates Stelter from his sleazy, ethically compromised CNN colleagues is that he\u2019s a wafer-thin-mint away from exploding.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, the whole network is shit, is a cancer on everything journalism is supposed to stand for.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The calls to fire CNN Misinformation Maven Brian Stelter are coming from inside the house. \u201cThe network needs to step up and fire Brian Stelter,\u201d a\u00a0CNN\u00a0insider told the Daily Mail. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1268362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1268362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1268362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1268362\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1268362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1268362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1268362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
