Tucker Carlson DESTROYS Brian Stelter For spreading fake news on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" 12/22/16. Well, while the video was making the rounds early this morning, CNN’s senior media correspondent Brian Stelter retweeted it, noting that it has already been retwweted 75,000 times and was “gaining fast.” Brian Stelter has over 400,000 followers and his tweet alone was reshared and liked hundreds of times, while also giving the clip tons of exposure due to his own high profile. After the fact, former Mediaite columnist Joe Concha called out Stelter for sharing the video. I'm not sure it's responsible to promote an unsubstantiated story with many Qs that may/may not be false regardless of motive for doing so. joe concha.. Stelter has used his program Reliable Sources to bring to light the dissemination of false stories. Recently, he urged viewers to “triple check” articles and posts before sharing. So, thus, it seems a bit ironic that he’d possibly be involved in potentially spreading a prank. After retweeting the video, he did send out various tweets that showed there were now questions to the clip Delta's initial response to the video, citing a "disturbance in the cabin." Many unanswered Q's

I am left wondering who in the country is willing to waste precious time watching FAKE CNN? Do these people not want to know the truth about what is going on in our culture? Watching Sponge Bob would be a far the better way to spend one’s time. At least you might learn something about true human nature through him. CNN, to me, is an example of phony journalists pushing their own personal ideology through lies and distortion of the news, all of which can be explained as FAKE NEWS. Their viewers need to switch to almost any other source for information about what is going on.

Trump has these people by the short hairs. It would be stupid, crazy and ludicrous to let them back in the game of distortion. He won in spite of theirs lies.

We should always remember that some of the biggest critics of fake news are also some of biggest purveyors of fake news. Stelter is a prime example.

Brian Stelter owns the most eerie smile I’ve ever seen in my life. Match that with a whiny voice and he is unwatchable.

The whole concept of “fake news” was initially brought up by the purveyors - as a means to hide their own attempts to push fake news to get Hillary elected (after pushing fake news to get Otoken elected twice). Basically they were pretending that the election outcome was a huge surprise, despite Hillary’s very public last-ditch attempts to whip urban blacks back onto her plantation. She knew she was in danger of losing, and they did as well; rather than accept the outcome (or report on Trump’s progress), they’ll simply pretend something outrageous happened. When recounts started exposing DEM voter fraud in the slums, they went to plan B: “fake news”. Now that few people are buying that, we are at plan C: Russian interference (despite millions in foreign interests pouring into Hillary’s “foundation”).

This scum will never give up; it is their livelihoods.

They always seem to have an excuse to avoid having to face reality. We can never stop calling them out on this nonsense. I just hate to see good sites like Breitbart attacked because of the MSM’s desperate flailing and projecting.

Just as attacks on Trump did nothing to dissuade his supporters (and actually increased his popularity, as many Americans agreed with his “controversial” opinions), attacks on Breitbart will have no effect other than the Trump effect - driving their popularity higher.
