CNN’s Brian Stelter said a “liar's reach” should be limited in order to combat “information pollution” on social media and competing news outlets.
“How can that harm be reduced? Well, Big Tech platforms say they are removing lies about vaccines and stamping out stop the steal B.S. and QAnon cult content. Do these private companies have too much power? Many people would say sure. ... But reducing a liar’s reach is not the same as censors freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is different than freedom of reach,” Stelter said Sunday on Reliable Sources.
“News consumers are both overfed and malnourished at the same time, gorging on empty information calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths, outright lies," he said, partially quoting former Fox News's Chris Stirewalt. "It's impossible to make those lies go away, but they can be reduced. All right. Harm reduction. Instead, we get this on Newsmax. Get this. 'Biden’s plan to destroy America,'” he continued.
He took issue with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, saying Carlson has spread “patently false” information about CNN trying to allegedly move Fox off the airways.
“Tucker Carlson is telling viewers that this network, CNN, is trying to force Fox News off the air, which is patently false. It is as predictable as the sunrise. Democrats win elections, and then Republicans say they are being silenced. While some cry cancel culture, let me suggest a different way to think about this, a harm reduction model,” Stelter said.

Moonboi speaks.
And, of course, what a lyer is clearly up for debate..
"there was no stolen election"
"You must say that there are five lights!"
You can say anything you want in your solitary confinement cell just so long as you don't say it loud enough for the guard to hear it.
Just call your opposition a bunch of liars, shut down their speech then pat yourself on the back about how you are saving America. These guy have never even pondered what free speech means.
I don’t even know what he’s saying here, other than “Shut up, I don’t like you.”
But I guess he thinks he sounds clever.
And THEY (the censors) get to decide what is a ‘lie’
See?
Will they want to limit CNN’s reach? Russia hoax, remember that?
The definition of a lie: “Anything that disagrees with whatever the Communist Party says the truth is today”.
2 + 2 = 5
‘Biden’s plan to destroy America,’
That’s obviously the kind of thing Americans should not be able to hear.
/S
Limited censorship isn’t censorship.
Calling it limited reach instead of limited censorship is like saying partly-clouding instead of mostly sunny.
It’s still censorship, even if it’s not 100% censored.
So he is advocating to close down CNN and MSNBC?
So lemme see if I understand this right. Brian, while lYing about what this is, says we must limit liars.
Hypocrisy, projection, Thy name is Brian
And poop isn’t the same s fecal matter
I am very conflicted over who is the dumbest CNN actor. It is a real horse race with some great contenders and frequent lead changes, but Stelter is always at the front of the pack.
He is a heterophobe.
Brian Stelter aka “Brain Stealer”...
Simple question Brian: How, exactly, would this technique have stopped the three years of “Russian Collusion” lie?
