(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) Following in the departing footsteps of other disgraced CNN luminaries, chief among them accused sexual harasser Chris Cuomo, fake news talking potato head Brian Stelter announced he was leaving the network after learning that his show, Reliable Sources, was being canceled.
After CNN’s new boss vowed to steer the network closer to the center in its political coverage, the blatantly partisan and radical leftist Stelter apparently couldn’t take having to actually report news, versus spewing leftist talking points.
“It was a rare privilege to lead a weekly show focused on the press at a time when it has never been more consequential,” Stelter told NPR.
Liz Cheney and Brian Stelter are gone in the span of three days.
This is amazing.

While CNN tried to paint a pretty picture of Stelter’s departure as losing one of its top talents, with one network vice president calling him “an impeccable broadcaster,” others were more honest and less kind.
“I look forward to recognizing Brian Stelter as he runs up to my car at a red light to try and wash my windshield hoping I’ll give him some cash,” quipped podcaster Tim Pool.

Stelter didn’t announce any plans for his future, and CNN was mum on any replacement. Twitter picked up the slack and offered possibilities for both.
