We’re not sure what possessed CNN hall monitor Brian Stelter to decide to share this with the world … but we’re glad he did. Because we’re about to have a field day.
See, apparently Brian’s executive-producing an HBO documentary about “disinformation and the cost of fake news.” And he’s very proud of it:
HBO just announced something I've been working on for a couple of years: A documentary titled "AFTER TRUTH: DISINFORMATION AND THE COST OF FAKE NEWS." The film will premiere on TV and online this March. Directed by @a_rossi!

"AFTER TRUTH" is about "the impact that disinformation, conspiracy theories and false news stories have on the average citizen." As seen through the eyes of the purveyors, the targets, the victims, and the experts who track it all. Full description here: https://t.co/6hfvf0r5fM pic.twitter.com/4S5dr3hL1n

Is Brian including himself among the “purveyors”?
Full circle with @A_Rossi: Ten years ago I was one of the people featured in his documentary "Page One: Inside the NYT." Now we're back together, but I'm behind the scenes as an exec producer. Can't wait for you to see the finished product! pic.twitter.com/h1gUDPLjhS

Guess they were wrong, huh?
Is this an autobiography?

Is it just clips from your show?

Wouldn’t it be easier to just name it “CNN”?

CNN will be featured, no doubt. https://t.co/CnIGhO9zxv

I hope they cover how CNN covered the Covington situation

I hope Dan Rather makes an appearance in Brian's documentary.

We’d better stay tuned! Though we’re pretty confident about one thing:
This will be the least self-aware piece of fiction ever produced.
