This afternoon we told you that C-SPAN has announced Steve Scully, who was scheduled to moderate the second presidential debate, has been suspended indefinitely after he admitted the “hacking” claim was bogus.
CNN’s Brian Stelter says that news has done some damage to his industry:
A true WTF, what-was-he-thinking moment… causing real damage to the national news media's reputation https://t.co/fVorJwZtnr

The news media’s reputation is just now being damaged? That’s some kind of self-unaware hilarity!
It seems you may be unfamiliar with the national news media's reputation… https://t.co/aR2k9OCL2c

LOL. Yeah, just a little.
Sorry, that already happened when you came on the scene.

You really think the media *has* a "reputation" left Brian? https://t.co/SLmlwnQ13z

Y'all have been bitching about being called "fake news" for the last 5 years, and now you think there's a reputation to uphold?
Are you on drugs, son? https://t.co/fzBLDbM6v0

The most surprised: journalists.
The least surprised: non-journalists. https://t.co/07BvgNkbma

“Journalists” are at least pretending to be surprised.
You’re actually tweeting a story detrimental to the Democrats?
STELTER HAS BEEN HACKED!!! https://t.co/07BvgNkbma

Hey, at least the story is getting some mention… finally:
A little late to the party aren’t we Brian? After imposing a blackout on this story for a week, you jump onto the bandwagon after the parade is over, and lecture everyone about what a big deal it is? Where were you for the past week? https://t.co/mA9oSgKihN

Hi, Brian.
Nice of you to finally getting around to mentioning the entire story at all.https://t.co/r7lGTaJsjM https://t.co/JeWd0jtGYy
