Media Critics Call on CNN to Fire Brian Stelter Over Reckless Tweet Following Minnesota Shooting

by

Two media critics are calling on CNN to fire ‘media reporter’ Brian Stelter over a reckless tweet in which he clearly tried to politicize the recent shooting of two Democrats in Minnesota by an appointee of Governor Tim Walz.

Before all of the facts were even known about the shooting, CNN correspondent Edward-Isaac Dovere tweeted:

“In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city,the president has called for a gov to be arrested &the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned & handcuffed, and 2 state legislators have been shot in their homes.”

Brian Stelter then quote tweeted that message, saying:

“And it all points in the same direction:”

Stephen L. Miller, who hosts a media criticism podcast on Substack named ‘Versus Media’ called for Stelter’s firing over this:

Miller made the point that this was actually worse than a reckless tweet that just got reporter Terry Moran fired from ABC News.

Media critic Joe Concha, a contributor, also called for Stelter’s firing.

Nicholas Fondacaro of the media watchdog group ‘NewsBusters’ also chimed in.

Like many other liberal media news outlets, CNN has been struggling in the ratings since the 2024 . The reckless partisanship and misinformation spread by people like Brian Stelter is not helping them.
