CNN hall monitor Brian Stelter is on the beat, watching Fox News like everyone else and picking apart everything he sees, particularly the opinion segments. He also seems to be triggered by a misspelling — something CNN never does.
If you remember, Rep. Chris Stewart used his time Friday to ask former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch two simple questions:
Bravo from @RepChrisStewart, who just summarized this whole hearing:
Q: "Do you have any information regarding POTUS accepting bribes?"
Yovanovitch: "No"
Q: Do you have any evidence of any criminal activity from POTUS?"
Yovanovitch: "No"
That, there, should be the ballgame

Anyway, Stelter seems upset that Fox News is reporting that Yovanovitch admitted the president didn’t commit a crime.
Fox banner, with Yovanovitch's name misspelled, says "YOVANOVICH ADMITS PRESIDENT DIDN'T COMMIT CRIME"

However you spell it, she did, in fact, say he did not commit a crime.
Do you dispute she said that? https://t.co/38uyh3Lgy7

All three witnesses were asked directly if they had knowledge of crimes committed by the president. They all answered NO.

So what? That’s exactly what she stated under oath.

Tubby's CNN banner, says "YOVANOVITCH ADMITS PRESIDENT HAD DIFFERENT FOREIGN POLICY THAN SHE DID. HOW DARE HE. SHE'S IN CHARGE!"

I'm so sorry this is happening to you

Thanks for spelling that out for us and your point is we’re well into this and they’ve still not found a crime

Dumb crap like this is why people can't stand you. I bet you were a snitch and a teacher's pet while growing up.

Brian’s whole case rests on spelling, imagine that

The only crime was misspelling her name!
— Wags (@CARLWAGNER2) November 16, 2019
We finally figured it out folks.
If we throw in a misspelling, @brianstelter will accidentally report the news!

If you're employed by CNN, calling out network banners will always be like throwing rocks in glass houses. People can just Google some of the greatest hits of CNN banners and see for themselves.

Like Stelter himself said when defending his segment on Trump’s Twitter typos, “accuracy always matters.”
