CNN’s Brian Stelter apologizes after falsely claiming St. John’s showed ‘no sign of smoke or fire’
Fox News ^ | June 01 2020 | Brian Flood

Posted on 06/01/2020 10:57:39 AM PDT by knighthawk

CNN’s media pundit Brian Stelter apologized on Sunday after he was mocked for falsely claiming the historic St. John’s Church showed “no sign of smoke or fire” as it was shown ablaze live on television.

As authorities clashed with demonstrators in Washington, D.C. for the third straight night, the parish house connected to the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church across the street from the White House was set on fire late Sunday — and the chaos was aired live on Fox News.

A reporter tweeted that the landmark was on fire and CNN’s Stelter – who has become known in recent years as the media's "hall monitor" – quickly responded, “What’s your source? Live video of St. John’s does not show obvious fire.”

I can hardly wait for somebody to photoshop Brian Setzer’s face on Baghdad Bob.

The fire was started by White Supremacists though.

St. John’s means a lot to me...not only many childhood memories (saw Billy Graham and Lyndon Johnson there when I was ten or eleven). but I also went there to pray after 9/11 and I jog past it these days frequently. I was introduced to CS Lewis from their church library, too. Love that little place.

I wonder where Brian lives. I assume it’s a Gated Community.

I was listening to Washington DC Fire and EMS dispatch, and the firefighters on scene were saying the same thing. I was practically screaming at my phone.

They must have had the wrong angle; thankfully they did go in and investigate.

News on this item has been confusing. Yesterday, I had read that the church itself was not on fire, but a shed connected to the property. Not seeing it myself, what am I to believe?

Why would the leftists want to destroy St. John’s? That church is as liberal as the summer solstice is long.

“CNN is ATT”

This mantra of yours is old and stale along with the Comcast rants and others.

Judge Green did his best in the 80’s and blew it.
He only helped “T” and “VZ”

ATT is stronger than ever and has about as much involvement with CNN as Pepsi does with these guys listed,
So Fuhgetaboutit it aint going to happen:

CNN’s Brian Stelter apologizes after falsely claiming St. John's showed "no sign of smoke or fire"

After looking at CNN's ratings I'd guess he was apologizing to approx 17 viewers.

ATT is a licensed telecom provider that also controls a malicious news operation. Pepsi sells soda & chips.
