The blocking of people critical of CNN’s media reporters Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy continues with Caleb Hull as the latest to earn their ire:
I'm almost blocked by CNN's entire media team and I'll I've done is point out facts to them on things they've seriously messed up.

In a DM with Hull, Stelter played the “I’m on vacation” card when asked about his recent tweet in defense of CNN’s Trump Tower story:

A “vacation” which included Stelter doing his Sunday “Reliable Sources” show with Dan Rather:
Brian Stelter tells me he’s “been on vacation since last Thursday” which is why he isn’t able to even tweet about CNN’s massive flop, but just last Sunday he was hosting “Reliable Sources” with Dan Rather as a guest.
So much for being on vacation. pic.twitter.com/cFxbS48wDG

Call us crazy, but we might not understand that he’s on vacation when he’s, you know, at work and then tweeting about stuff:
LOL @BrianStelter tries dodging @CalebJHull’s criticism of @CNN’s flawed Trump Tower story by claiming he’s been on vacation since last Thursday. Because nothing says “vacation since last Thursday” like bringing @DanRather onto your aptly-named @ReliableSources Sunday show right? pic.twitter.com/jVEne6sTRG

He took time out of his vacation since Thursday to interview Dan Rather just this Sunday? ROFL https://t.co/vPXpOt4jRX

Also in the DM, Stelter told Hull that “you don’t know the other sources for CNN’s story:
Stelter pulls the “You seem upset” card every time also someone simply criticizes his work, like he did with Seth Mandel. Astonishing dishonest deflection. https://t.co/obX6NkaaN1

Right. We don’t know CNN’s other sources. But we do know that Lanny Davis was one of those sources and that he lied to CNN and CNN wrote that they contacted Davis for comment and he didn’t respond when in reality, Davis was one of the sources. Which, to be quite honest, is worse for CNN than getting burned by Davis in the first place:
Lanny Davis feeds CNN a story as an anonymous source (that he has since backed away from), is quoted in same story as not commenting, and then admits that he was the anonymous source.
If CNN knew Lanny was the anon source (and they must). that is a horrible look. Inexcusable.
