CNN’s Brian Stelter wasn’t amused by the Free Beacon headline, “CNN Is in Love With Oprah 2020,” even though the Free Beacon posted this supercut as proof:
We’d have thought that the uproar over President Trump’s comment about “shithole countries” would have bumped Oprah from the headlines, but Stelter found a way to meld the two and keep the narrative going.
Want to know why @Oprah is thinking about running for president? Look no further than the "shithole" quote…

Actually, word from Team Oprah is that she’s not thinking about running for president, but never mind that.

weren't you just outraged by the Free Beacon's supercut suggesting you were obsessed by the Oprah President storyline, @brianstelter? Here you are again pimping it, with no real news hook for it at all, except your own personal pinings. https://t.co/xr0ko9JGUM
