Unless you just came out of a cave to get service in order to read this article, you’re well aware that the Mueller verdict is in: The media was full of maniacal baloney for two years.
In fact, the press was so insanely obsessed and convinced, with and of Trump-Russia collusion, they wholly changed the nature of the impending DOJ report: The document became set to be, not a decisive reflection of Donald Trump, but rather, a statement on the quality of the U.S. media.
Final conclusion: They stink.
But not to CNN’s Brian Stelter.
Brian hosts the ironically-named Reliable Sources, which recently offered its audience the Stupidest Words Ever Spoken.
In line with the above, Brian praised the MSM over the weekend for their “value add” with regard to the Mueller probe. Here’s a piece (of dumbness):
“Partisans on the right are already claiming the end of the Mueller probe vindicates all of their prior positions. And they are saying the media — the evil media — was wrong all along.”
Yes. That would be correct — they were wrong all along.
“Donald Trump Jr. is tweeting out messages like this: #CollusionTruthers, he says, accusing the press of pushing a narrative against his dad.”
Also correct.
“Now, did many commenters and Democratic politicians allege collusion? Yes. Did many journalists ask about it? Yes. But there is a giant difference between asking and telling. The job of the nation’s news media is to ask, to question all sides to scrutinize, to scrutinize all sides, and report on opposing points of view, and to only take the side of truth and decency. Someone should tell Jesse Watters that. But speculation actually has value too. It helps open our eyes, helps open our minds to what’s possible.”
The remarks got the attention of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who subsequently ripped Brian like Elvis’s jump suit during a karate kick.
Ki-yah!!!!
Here’s Tucker, referring to Brian as a “eunuch.”
A eunuch! Good Lord!
“Over on CNN, Jeff Zucker dispatched his eunuch to address the channel’s viewership, meaning those Americans trapped at the airport waiting for flights. ‘You may think CNN has been lying to you relentlessly for the last 2 years,’ the eunuch explained.”

For the record, Russia collusion is not “a trail that Trump created.”
For you, and also for Brian, I submit a video sampling of the media adding value:

How’s that for “[taking] the side of truth and decency,” courtesy of our nation’s trailblazers?
