CNNs Brian Stelter, on his Sunday show Reliable Sources, aired a death threat that was aimed at both himself and fellow CNN anchor Don Lemon.
Stelter played back audio of a C-SPAN caller who said that, if he ever ran into him or Lemon on the street, he would shoot them.
They started the war, the caller said, If I see them Im going to shoot them.
Brian Stelter ✔ @brianstelter Threats against reporters on the rise. We decided to broadcast one of those threats on today's @ReliableSources, so everyone can hear it for themselves.
Stelter made it clear that his goal was not to elicit sympathy, and that he was not actually in fear for his life. I know some of my colleagues get much worse threats than I do, he explained. And CNN has a great security team, and we know how to handle this stuff.
The larger point Stelter was making was that threats against journalists were on the rise. And this problem is not confined to CNN, he continued. People at Fox News and other outlets have to deal with this garbage too. These kinds of threats are coming more often.
Attributing the rise of threats to the Trump era, Stelter noted that MSNBCs Katy Tur had also recently received a number of vile threats.
Stelter conceded that there have always been unhinged people in the world a fact that cant be tied to President Trump but ended on a quote from New York Times Bret Stephens: We are approaching a day when blood on the newsroom floor will be blood on the presidents hands.
I wouldn’t waste a round on either of those pieces of craps.
Well call the Police don’t make a program out of it
I have to admit there would be no joy in shooting them. Not even any satisfaction.
It’s better to let them live their tormented lives.
Sharyl Attkisson wasn’t just hacked. Someone entered her home and put something in her computer, tapped her parent’s phone lines and the spying went on for months.
She wasn’t the only journalist targeted by the 0bungwad administration either and the rest of the press didn’t give a rat’s fat hiney.
Meh, who cares?
“Attributing the rise of threats to the Trump era, Stelter noted that MSNBCs Katy Tur had also recently received a number of vile threats.”
It’s pretty bad when Kat Turd is getting death threats. MSN better change her litter box.
I call BS....
Whether a Reichstag fire (mysterious bomb against CNN’s offices used by Vann Jones or Don Lemon done by leftists secretly with bumbling police investigation coming to a Las Vegas “unsolved” conclusion) or merely paid actors pretending to violently demonstrate (as baseball’s Alex Rodriguez who paid for actors as cheering supporters to push to the front rows outside the courthouse as he walked by and slapped hands on the way to defend himself from his guilty drug use accusation in court) the left will do what they need to set it off against the right.
I had to make a clever U-turn on a state road on the way home from work in 2016 when black students protested white racist graffiti on building walls by sitting down to block the traffic on the road. After a bumbling search for clues, months later the police found video and physical evidence and arrested and tried a black man in his 30s, non student, who pretended to be a white KKK racist painting graffiti in order to implicate the innocent white students at the university. Several like that around the country.
how much did Stelter and Lemon pay....
They both shed many tears but now have accepted their boys as being mentally unbalanced sexual deviants and liars.
Everyone should read your post. I didn’t know what the scum leftists did to Sharyl Attkisson.
That is disgusting and SHOULD be on every legitimate TV news shows (hint: there aren’t any except Greg Gutfeld)
Only reporting is about threatening the snowflake leftist media pieces of sh**.
Even if the threat is real, why do they never cover the actual threats made to our President, R’s in congress, conservative news persons, Trump supporters, etc. They scoff at those, but the minute anyone tells them as much as “you suck” they whine and whine.
Now the Pansy Brigade is getting some threats too it’s big news.
It’s old news now but she did write a book about it. You could also do a search on ‘James Rosen, government harrassment,’ or something to that effect, and see what 0bongo’s FBI/DoJ did to him.
Hannity use to take the subway until it got dangerous for him.
Thinking the same thing.
This threat to two nobodies is suspect.
Nobody watches them and nobody cares except them. Could it be that they desperately want publicity?
Maybe if they reformed, and returned to journalism school to re-learn responsible journalism and how to understand the difference between propaganda and real reporting, their ratings would pick up. They might have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Or are they too infected to know that, and are being consumed by their own hate?
Did C-Span CALL THE POLICE??? If not, this was a HOAX that C-SPAN KNEW about!
Can anyone call into C-SPAN tomorrow to ASK if they called the POLICE SINCE they have the CALLER’S PHONE NUMBER!!!
Thanks.
Even old news has some ill-informed, semi-literate Americans like myself who missed it.
To make it worse and embarrassing, I have her book but never read it with all the reading I’m doing.
Still good for you to remind others and enlighten me so you did a good thing today.
If you haven’t read it because you have a lot to read that’s nothing to be embarrassed about IMO. :)
