'He's VERY reliable.' Brian Stelter gets SUPER DUPER defensive when called out for HIS retweet about the press

Brian Stelter has been such an ADVOCATE for the poor, victimized media, calling Trump and others out for ‘attacking’ his brethren when they insist they are fake news. Surely if he believes it’s wrong for one side to ‘ban’ or mistreat the media he holds the other ‘side’ to that same standard.

He’s reliably unbiased, right?

Or maybe he’s not.

Guess who is suddenly comfortable with politicians banning the press from events? I’ll give you a hint: he’s very reliable. pic.twitter.com/RwbtJPBcMX

Super reliable.

Comfortable? Are you kidding? You must not have watched Sunday's @ReliableSources. I LED this segment with the town hall problem. Here's the video. https://t.co/UkUcFoK1iN

Are you kidding?

Heh.

I think we should all keep in mind that RT =/= "comfortable".

— Jeryl Bier (@JerylBier) August 20, 2018

Fair point.

So @ryangrim is comfortable with backroom deals?

She apologized for barring press from a public event, as she should have. Now she’s thinking this through, which is refreshing.

— Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) August 20, 2018

It’s refreshing that she’s ‘thinking something through.’ That doesn’t say great things about our favorite Democratic Socialist.

But in the "thinking this through" tweet, @Ocasio2018 says a "private" event is "open to all". Maybe "refreshing," but also seems to be a huge blind spot, no?https://t.co/8arK0RA4Lb

Massive blind spot.

This reminds me of when Colbert asked Clinton if he wanted a redo on the #metoo question. When people on the left make a mistake the media rolls out a red carpet made of grace. When it happens on the right they look for a rope and the nearest tree.

Media is always front and center to protect their precious Democrats.

Or in this case, their precious Democratic Socialist.

But a RT isn’t necessarily an endorsement.

And again, fair.

I also RTed this, my segment from Sunday's show: https://t.co/UkUcFoK1iN

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) August 20, 2018

We heard you the first time, Brian, settle down.

So defensive.

Heh.

Is this for real @brianstelter? https://t.co/t2xAiGwzrL

— Bethany S. Mandel (@bethanyshondark) August 20, 2018

Of course not. It was one of the top subjects on Sunday's Reliable Sources. https://t.co/UkUcFoK1iN

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) August 20, 2018

But his retweet is real, so …

Man, he sure likes his own story.
