Your favorite hall monitor and ours, Brian Stelter, seems to have taken issue with Trump quoting Graham Ledger of OANN although to be fair, he gets fussy with any outlet that Trump seems to pay attention to.
We’re starting to think Brian does not have the healthiest relationship with the president … or about the president since Trump ignores him.
POTUS is quoting an obscure host who hosts an O'Reilly Factor rip-off on @OANN, a channel that's so small it doesn't get rated by Nielsen ??♂️ pic.twitter.com/lrhWkhR8GZ

Pretty sure Brian has NO business talking smack about anyone else’s ratings.
Dude.
How many times have we written that Brian is his own worst enemy? Thank goodness this isn’t a drinking game or we’d never be sober.
And you covered it so 3 more people saw it. ?? good job. https://t.co/RXQhOmm1DE

Whoohoo!
And three more people … EL OH EL.
Clever.
And you’re covering it. Win for POTUS, win for CNN ratings.

You’d think?
Or not.
What does my tweet have to do with CNN's ratings? Nothing…
— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) August 9, 2018
Shhhh, don’t get so defensive Bri. It’s just Twitter.
When you tweet, are you not representing CNN?

Ding ding ding.
Pedantic – adjective – of or like a Brian Stelter

Maybe look after your own house Brian? CNN talent attacking on ratings is pretty hilarious tbh. pic.twitter.com/NiX4IQKL6V

Hilarious.
Huh, gosh, we don’t see CNN anywhere there … womp womp.
He included the person he's quoting. What exactly is your point – that higher ratings equal credibility? You sure you want to go down that road?

All Brian knows is that for some reason it wasn’t fair for Trump to quote some guy on OANN.
Pot meet kettle

CNN is getting beat in ratings by Investigation Discovery. So, glass houses and all, Bri

Watching you complain about OANN feels much like watching Bill Clinton call out Harvey Weinstein over his treatment of women.

Proving that "journalists" we've never heard of are considered more trustworthy than you guys.

Then again, a bologna sandwich is more trustworthy than CNN, but fair.
