The final episode of “Reliable Sources,” which was cancelled earlier this week, airs today. No CNN personality took on the fight against Trump’s disinformation more gamely than the show’s host, Brian Stelter, ClareMalone writes.
making close to a million dollars a year at the time of his CNN ouster), have documented their home life with two small children on Instagram; both kids have Twitter handles.
Despite the fame—and a lucrative spot in the former CNN boss Jeff Zucker’s stable of stars—an essential earnestness has always been Stelter’s trademark. Perhaps it’s because of his Horatio Alger qualities; though lacking the irony gene so prized by many media types, Stelter made his way to the top by pecking out stories large and small.
Most news organizations came around to calling the Trump Administration’s lies and obfuscations lies and obfuscations. But Zucker’s CNN cynically—and, one might say, with no moral judgment attached, brilliantly—turned the battle for press freedom and truth into a brand opportunity. The reporter Jim Acosta used his ban by the Trump White House as a career springboard, indulging in self-admitted “grandstanding” and writing a whole book about it.
. But it was Stelter’s strident tone online, his undexterous indignation performed every Sunday morning in a suit and pancake maquillage, that made him stand out: he was the perfect humorless avatar for conservatives to fall upon gleefully. Fox News made him a, and right-wing Twitter routinely delighted in dissing him, often on nasty, personal terms. When news of his firing made the rounds, the likes of Jack Posobiec, Representative Lauren Boebert, and Dinesh D’Souza piled on.
At Zucker’s Trump-baiting CNN, Stelter thrived. He was set to take “Reliable Sources” to a daily format on the now dead streaming service CNN+. But Zucker was forced to resign from the network, and a new regime under Chris Licht stepped in, with a goal of rejiggering CNN’s programming, scrubbing it of liberal political valence. In retrospect, it seems clear that it was only a matter of time before Stelter got the boot.
