LOL Stelter foams At The Mouth Over Cuomo's Empty 'Prime Time' Slot, He's Delusional
Brian Stelter is kind of like journolistic flatulents. He manages to be both obnoxious and invisible—Nothing says that better than Stelter's ratings. About the only thing he has going for him right now is he seems to be the only male at CNN not accused of sexual harassment. Which, sadly, is kind of a compliment considering the network's reputation.
Stelter's brown-nosing loyalty towards his 'dear friend' Chris Cuomo quickly faded as the conversation of who will take his place arose. While speaking to Jim Acosta, Stelter simultaneously slammed and complimented Cuomo.
“Yes, Chris Cuomo, one of the most popular anchors at CNN, one of the best-known names in television news, violated journalistic ethics and norms. Not once or twice but many times. And that’s ultimately what is the result of today’s news, Jim."
Acosta wondered: “Do we know when this new information might be brought out to the public and will have a sense as to what this additional information was?”
“I don’t know actually if it ever will,” Stelter admitted. “I think that’s very much unclear. Certainly, in the years I've spent covering media, we know companies try to keep these things as private as possible." It's always fascinating when media companies won't talk.
Stelter shared a text he says he received from Cuomo:
“This is not how I want my time at CNN to end but I have already told you why and how I helped my brother,” Chris Cuomo said. “So let me now say as disappointing as this is, I could not be more proud of the team at Cuomo Prime Time and the work we did as CNN’s #1 show in the most competitive time slot. I owe them all and will miss that group of special people who did really important work.”

Later, during his own show, Stelter was a little more honest than usual and explained that CNN knew about some of Cuomo's involvement and explained that the prize anchor just became too much of an embarrassment for them.

No one has been selected to take Cuomo's spot and who really cares outside of the hacks at CNN? I'm sure whoever CNN puts in his place will be more 'entertainment' than 'news' just like little Chris Cuomo. I can say this with some confidence, whoever they pick it won't be Brian Stelter.
