Brian Stelter, Pathetic and Laughable Host of 'Reliable Sources'

Brian Stelter still can't figure out why people trust Joe Rogan more than 'real newsrooms like CNN,' but he knows it's a big, big problem.

And when it comes to Joe Rogan, Brian’s not brave at all. In fact, he’s downright terrified. Terrified that people out there who aren’t as enlightened as he is will choose Rogan’s podcast over a Real News outlet like CNN.

Seriously, Brian’s just beside himself:

“Not all opinions are created equal, and none are created as equal as CNN opinions.” OK, we made that last part up, but is there any doubt that that’s Stelter’s argument here? Brian Stelter and CNN are too smug and self-righteous to realize that Joe Rogan didn’t destroy their reputation.

Reliable Sources is like Adam Schiff pushing Russian disinformation, fact checking one side....how did we ever get here with a news network? People trusting Joe Rogan over “newsrooms like CNN” are “a problem that’s much bigger than Spotify”.

Spotify could remove Joe Rogan tomorrow "and it wouldn't make a dent. It wouldn't make a dent in his audience," @katrosenfield says. "People would still listen to him and, crucially, they still wouldn't trust more mainstream media sources." pic.twitter.com/tpi4L47nh0

A quick recap of what the “newsroom at CNN” has looked like in the last year:
-- CNN chief Jeff Zucker resigned because of 'relationship' with senior executive.
-- CNN has fired Chris Cuomo for sexual misconduct.
-- Anchor Don Lemon accused of sexual assault.
-- Producer Rick Saleeby forced out for soliciting underage photos and is under criminal investigation.
-- Producer John Griffin is facing federal sex crime charges involving children.
-- Jeffrey “Zoomin” Toobin exposed himself during a virtual meeting with colleagues.

Spotify announced a new ‘content advisory’ warning for podcasts that discuss Covid-19 after the left-wing media apparatus called for Rogan to be censored.

The firestorm started a few months ago when Joe Rogan told his audience of millions of listeners that he treated his Covid infection with Ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies and a vitamin drip.

Rogan has also interviewed Dr. Malone, the inventor of the mRNA vaccine gene therapy.

Apparently Rogan is now “dangerous” for engaging in political discourse on his podcast.

Brian Stelter said CNN is much more trustworthy than Joe Rogan (try not to laugh).

How far gone do you have to be to tell your lost viewers they are the problem and not you’re content? Stelter cannot figure this one out, but he and CNN have got the answer to everything else. Brian 'Tater' Stelter's lack of self-awareness has no equal. I think one would need to have no self-awareness just to wake up every morning and go Brian-Steltering for a living.

I'll help you out Brian. You are a lying, partisan, hack, that's why. Right there is the difference. Rogan would love to have him on his show. Stelter would never have Rogan on his. CNN's gotta fill up 24 hrs. with something, President Trump is not in the White House where he should be and they have done all the damage they can hopefully do with the pandemic. Reporters like to prance around calling themselves "professional" yet, they have no actual ethics, nothing.

People don't "trust" Joe Rogan more than any other sources. It is just that Joe Rogan uses his platform to provide opposing viewpoints for people to form their own informed opinions, something CNN, MSNBC and the mainstream media don't think people are capable of (or don't want people to).

Who wants to tell him? Oh good grief Brian, you are so far out of Rogan's league. It's obvious 'Tater' doesn't have a clue what's going on at CNN. He spends most of his time watching Fox News. The good news for Stelter, I suppose, is that now he's got something to whine about besides Fox News.

Today’s Editorial Cartoon by Bob Gorrell

GOP Rep. Joe Walsh - The Media Protect Obama

Rep. Joe Walsh: Media protect
Obama because he is black, liberal
The Hill - Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) said the media protect President Obama and will work to get him reelected because he is black.

“This guy pushed every one of the media’s buttons,” Walsh said in an interview with the Media Research Center. “He was liberal, he was different, he was new, he was black. Oh my God, it was the potpourri of everything.”

Walsh was responding to a question from Media Research Center President Brent Bozell about the “race warfare games” of the Obama administration.

“They are so vested in our first black president not being a failure that it’s going to be amazing to watch the lengths they go to protect him,” Walsh said. “They, I believe, will spout this racist line if some of their colleagues up here aren’t doing it aggressively enough. There is going to be a real desperation.”

Blog author's comments - Prior to the 2008 election the MSM issued glowing reports of Obama's intellect and ability. He was portrayed as the savior of our country. His campaign committee of left-wing journalists has continually provided cover for him. They do not want him to fail.

I don't think that Obama believes he will be seriously challenged. He is hoping to run against someone who is afraid to speak the truth and be labeled a racist. This is not the type of candidate the Republican Party can have in 2012. This is a must win election for the GOP and the country.

Sarah Palin - The Constant Target Of The MSM

Sarah Palin Emails: Enemies Sent a Series of Death Threats
Telegraph - The release of 24,000 pages of Sarah Palin's emails shows that she received a barrage of abusive emails including death threats in the up to the 2008 presidential race.

One message sent by someone in Juneau, Alaska on Sept 17, 2008 said the governor should be "shot from one of the planes that shoot the very wolves that you ordered."

Five days earlier an email landed in her in-box saying she "must be killed."

It said: "She doesn't belong to the NRA to support the right of each citizen to have weapons in an aim of self-defence, but just to support the right of every southern white citizen to shoot all non-white people legally! Sarah Palin MUST BE KILLED!"

Another emailed death threat in the same month, while Mrs Palin was on the campaign trail as John McCain's vice-presidential running mate, came from Antwerp, Belgium.

It said Mrs. Palin should be shot and that "only on that moment justice will be accomplished."

The governor did not respond to the emails and forwarded them to her aides. It was unclear whether inquiries into who sent the emails were launched

Blog author's comments - As the column states 24,000 emails to and from Sarah Palin while she was the Governor of Alaska were released on Friday. The media vultures were eagerly awaiting the release of the documents with hope that they could find anything negative about her.

Both the Washington Post and NY Times asked their readers for help in pouring over the material. What were found in the emails were death threats against her.

The MSM must view Palin as a threat to the Democrat Party. Palin does not hold any office and has not said that she will run for President in 2012. The liberal media continues to show that they have zero credibility.

They have been battering Sarah Palin since the campaign of 2008 but she has not allowed them to beat her down. She remains strong to her conservative principles.

Liberals & State Run Media - Out Of Control

Democrats Used Targets And Bulls eyes Against Republicans
Some members of the Democratic Party and the Main Stream Media are taking the tragedy of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the killing of 6 innocent people by Jared Loughner a leftist madman, and turning it into a hate feast against Sarah Palin, the Tea Party movement and many other conservatives.

Quite pathetic that the Dems have taken this crisis and used it for their own benefit. It is almost as if they welcome this tragedy. I assume that after such a big loss in the midterm election they will resort to anything to take the spotlight off of their party and do whatever is necessary to try to bring down the GOP.

The State Run Media is showing Sarah Palin's map, but will not say that the Democrat Party has in the past, done the same thing.

Blog author's comments - What this shooting/tragedy is about is Jared Loughner who was described by a classmate as a 'Left-Wing Pothead' who apparently had a dislike for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. He is a Marx-supporting liberal lunatic whose favorite books were: Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf.

To attempt to lay blame on Sarah Palin, the GOP, and many other conservatives for the shooter's actions shows just how deranged some people on the left actually are. Leveling these charges against Sarah Palin and the Tea Party is outrageous.

Jared Loughner has apparently been stalking Gabrielle Giffords since 2007. This is before anyone heard of Sarah Palin. A sad event like this is being used as a tool to silence anyone who disagrees with the left.

Sarah Palin's staff posted on her website/facebook page, 'targets' on a map of the United States, of U.S. House districts that Sarah Palin wanted to target as possible GOP wins for the 2010 mid-term elections. This map was posted in March of 2010, almost a year ago. They were the targeted districts for house races, one of them was Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona.

Because of this map the liberals are showing everyone who they really are, and what they are capable of doing for their own gain. As can be seen above, the Democrats used the same strategy for an election with a map showing targets on states they wanted to concentrate on for wins in the 2004 election.

Less Sanity About Gun Control

More Gun Laws, Less Sanity About Gun Control
By Scott Spiegel
Every time a gun crime happens in this country, the mainstream media give it sensationalistic coverage, and liberals cover their mouths with their hands like little girls and then remove them and start howling about the necessity of even more gun control legislation than the historically high levels we have now.

As the just published third edition of John Lott’s classic More Guns, Less Crime exhaustively demonstrates, liberals are moving in exactly the wrong direction in their zeal to stop gun crime.

Lott’s central thesis is that (1) criminals are less likely to commit violent crimes if they know there are significant numbers of concealed carry permit holders with weapons, (2) gun restrictions make it harder for law-abiding citizens to obtain guns for self-defense, (3) gun restrictions have no effect on criminals’ intent or ability to obtain weapons, and (4) gun restrictions thus disarm only potential crime victims, whereas reduced gun restrictions arm citizens and frighten off criminals.

Lott supports his hypothesis via mountains of data analyzed at the national, state, and county level, looking at both overall rates of crimes and the more relevant changes in trends before and after permissive nondiscretionary laws are passed.

He examines multiple categories of crime including murder, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery. He shows that his results hold, both controlling and not controlling for every demographic variable under the sun, as well as unrelated but important crime rate indicators such as arrest rates, policing strategies, and national trends.

Lott notes the astonishing fact that loosening gun restrictions has had such a positive impact on reducing states’ crime rates over the last two decades that not a single state legislature has even scheduled a debate on repealing nondiscretionary gun laws once they have been passed. - Entire column

Blog author's comments - The column by Scott Spiegel, a review of John Lott's book "More Guns, Less Crime", provides a concise view of the content of his book and his defense of gun ownership and Concealed Carry Permits.

There is nothing for me to add except that I strongly agree with Mr. Lott. Gun owners and citizens who believe in the 2nd Amendment will forever be defending a subject that logically needs no defense.
