Yeah, we know it sounds sorta mean but every tweet we read from Brian Stelter sorta sounds like he’s whining. Perhaps it’s because it seems like he’s always complaining about something or talking smack about someone else but wow …
He really is his own worst enemy.
Case in point:
Just found a video on YouTube that egregiously violates CNN's copyright. Oh, AND it says my tongue needs to be "ripped out" with pliers. Reported it. Let's see how long it stays up.

GASP!
Hi Brian, thanks for reporting it. Someone on our team just emailed you, could you share the link to the video there too? Appreciate it.

Look at how quickly YouTube responded to Brian …
I submitted the video through YouTube's official "REPORT" button. The same button everyone else uses. Why hasn't the video been removed? I don't want special treatment.

Brian, you should have just emailed, man.
And trust us, Brian did want special treatment. He wanted attention, he wanted people to be outraged with him, he WANTED to play the victim and do it in front of everyone on Twitter. If this really was about a copyright issue and a threat, he should have quietly emailed them, contacted the proper authorities if he truly felt threatened and been done with it.
But that’s not really what he wanted.
He wanted to prove that Trump is causing people to hate the media, and then he wanted to write a story about it.
Heck, he still might.
Great. Reporting copyright through the report button will prompt you to file a takedown through our web form here: https://t.co/xqtta2Srr2. That should be filled out by the rightsholder (if they believe the video infringes on their rights). Thanks!

Seems pretty simple, Bri.
I didn't report a copyright violation. I reported "hateful or abusive content," since the video title encourages violence. I submitted a SECOND report 15 minutes ago. Why hasn't anyone read and reviewed my reports?
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) July 3, 2018
Oh FFS, just email them!
Ah, thanks for confirming. That means it will be reviewed soon then!

Still being polite.
YouTube has way more patience than we do.
Dear diary…
