Brian Stelter’s been watching Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a lot lately, and he can’t help but be struck by DeSantis’ “anti-media streak”:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a regular on "corporate media" shows like Maria Bartiromo's, says "we all know corporate media lies, OK? They do not tell the truth. Assume what they tell you is false and then figure out why they're telling you a false narrative."

Not if you’ve been paying any attention to the media, it isn’t.

Still struggling to wrap your brain around this one, Brian?

The same media of which Brian Stelter is a proud member.
A media critic doesn't understand media criticism. Weird flex by @brianstelter. https://t.co/RBg4paCMM7

It’s not weird when you remember that Brian Stelter, like pretty much everyone else at CNN, completely lacks self-awareness.
Brian seems upset. Ron hit a little too close to home there. https://t.co/h6oqbOnt9r
