CNN’s Brian Stelter thinks the Hunter Biden story is no longer a right-wing media hatchet job, prompting critics to wonder what prompted his about-face.
CNN media reporter Brian Stelter dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 as a manufactured scandal and possibly a Russian disinformation operation.CNN’s Brian Stelter pivoted on Sunday when he declared theisn’t just some"right-wing media story" after previously calling the story"a classic example of the right-wing media machine," but critics feel the liberal host is simply desperate to keep his job.
Brian Stelter has changed his stance on Hunter Biden’s laptop as CNN’s new management wants to focus on "news." "What about his son? What about Hunter?" Stelter asked."Hunter under federal investigation, charges can be coming at any time, this is not just a right-wing media story. This is a real problem for the Bidens."
"There's a lot about this story that does not add up… for all we know, these emails were made up, or maybe some are real and some are fakes, we don't know," Stelter told his viewers in 2020 about the story, which delved into Biden's overseas business dealings."But we do know that this is a classic example of the right-wing media machine.
"We’ve been talking about this for some time and don’t pretend like you [didn't] dismiss this story as a manufactured scandal and now, because you have a new boss, I guess he’s trying to keep his job by actually doing his job, by talking about this story the way it should be talked about," Concha said.
