Brian Stelter tweeted last night, “this is very concerning” in regard to reports that Fox News’ Shannon Bream was forced to move her SCOTUS live-shot after feeling “threatened” by anti-Trump protesters:
"It got a little too rowdy," @ShannonBream said on Fox just now. This is very concerning https://t.co/5EeA370ANy

But Stelter is being called out for pushing an alleged “false narrative” by the Center for American Progress’ Neera Tanden:
@brianstelter I was there. This was gaslighting by Fox News. The only really annoying part was a single anti-choice guy with a bullhorn and some white nationalists.Really disappointed you would push this false narrative. Your cnn colleagues there seemed fine. Maybe ask them next https://t.co/nnO9iiZlWj

Oliver Willis jumped on Stelter as well:
Fox News has been calling blacks and Latinos subhuman for over 22 years https://t.co/HflJKfknUb

Now, we’re glad and all that Stelter is concerned by this, but maybe he should look in a mirror and ask himself how much CNN and his reported contributed to the mob last night. That’s “his game”:
If I wanted to play Brian’s game I would start questioning how much certain people at certain networks devoting so much time to anti-fox coverage contributed to all of this. https://t.co/4ZE6Q4vUrq

But to clarify:
FYI I’m not saying @brianstelter and his show or his network’s constant focus on Fox are responsible for the hostile anti-Fox environment which caused Shannon Bream to fear for her safety. They aren’t. Full stop.
…That said
