Did anyone know that there was something called the 'News Emmys'? Yeah, neither did we.
That's just what the dead legacy media needs, right? Another Nerd Prom like the WHCA Dinner, where they pat themselves on the back for being 'heroes' while trying not to admit that they all wish they were Hollywood celebrities.
Nevertheless, the News Emmys are a thing that exists. Apparently, they were held a couple of nights ago in New York City.
CNN's Senior Potato Correspondent, Brian Stelter, made sure to tell us all about it last night.
Last night at the News Emmys, the judges wanted to send a message of support to CBS News and "60 Minutes" amid Trump's ongoing legal battle with the news division. CBS took home five Emmys total, the most of any network, including three for "60 Minutes" reports.

Wait ... did he just say what we think he said?
'Send a message.' We didn't misread that, right?
Stelter has been frantically trying to spin CNN and Natasha Bertrand's embarrassing report about the U.S. air strike on Iranian nuclear facilities for the past couple of days. (Which, let's face it, is probably the only exercise he has gotten in decades.)
He even went so far yesterday as to claim that the media are supposed to 'objectively report' and not be cheerleaders or apparatchiks.
That much is true. So why don't they do that?
Because Stelter is not even as smart as the average spud, however, he couldn't help but say the quiet part out loud yesterday evening. He continued:

At the ceremony there were repeated shoutouts to former "60" boss Bill Owens, who was a Silver Circle honoree. ABC, CNN and National Geographic followed CBS with four awards each.

Just so we're clear, what Stelter is saying is that the News Emmys were all about congratulating CBS for maligning and defaming President Trump, and promoting Kamala Harris, so egregiously that he is suing them.
A lawsuit that CBS is desperately trying to settle, by the way, because they know what they did.
You're seriously too stupid to understand the words you just typed.

What a f*****g moron you are.
That's why he's not just a potato. He's THE Potato.

This Einstein just said the quiet part out loud - "journalism" awards are handed out based on politics, not on what used to be actual journalism. https://t.co/5E0slnKjEi

Yep. Pretty much. Thanks for confirming what we already knew, Stelter.

Soooo ... Jeffrey Toobin was invited to the News Emmys as well?
(Sorry, we couldn't resist. Neither can Toobin, apparently.)
Gosh. All you have to do, to win, is hate Trump? You don’t have to do actual journalism or reporting? 😏. Ok. Low bar. Participation prizes.

And people keep telling us the Journalists have ethics.

They don't just tell us that. They scream at us and scold us about it.
They probably should have told Stelter to keep his mouth shut if they wanted anyone to believe it.
You just proved you are all in it together. You are all Fake News! Nobody respects you anymore so you need to pat yourselves on the back. Pathetic.

Others were as shocked as we were that the News Emmys even existed.
What a complete joke the media has Emmys.

These emmys mean absolutely nothing to anyone outside the incestous news industry. https://t.co/3k1My9h20N
I swear I have never heard of the News Emmys. What a fun bunch that must be. https://t.co/l1kCyxF1Fx

It is a necessary group therapy session for them, knowing deep down how dishonest they are and how much everyone hates them.
But at least some good came out ot the event, thanks to Stelter giving up the ghost once and for all.
So, you're admitting it wasn't merit but a closing of the communist ranks with the Coprophile Media propagandists, Diabeeto? pic.twitter.com/G11CIAlYLc

That's exactly what he admitted.
We would thank him for that, except we know he didn't mean to admit it, or realize that he did.
The Potato is just that dumb.
