Brian Stelter complaining about the media ecosystem driving disinformation … now THIS is some funny shiznit.
We suppose if anyone knows about pushing disinformation it’s Tater but wow, could he be any LESS self-aware tweeting this?
"We have this alternative media ecosystem that is driving a lot of disinformation. It is not understood by journalists or anyone really beyond a very small group of people who are really engaged with it," @EliotHiggins says https://t.co/RWi2Mqy8jV

Even Soledad O’Brien called him out over this one, which says so much and ain’t none of it good.
Also mainstream media outlets frequently book guests who lie, intentionally, on their air. CNN is one such outlet. Instead of shunning those guests they are booked again and again and again. When CNN’s media reporter pretends his own news org isn’t part of this BS, it’s a problem https://t.co/i447xNa7dD

‘When CNN’s media reporter pretends his own news org isn’t part of this BS, it’s a problem.’
Ouch.
And yeah, Soledad should probably look in a mirror herself BUT we will write about her slamming Bri’ any and every day of the week.
Here's my 2 cents on this??. The issue is not that #CNN/#MSM invites guests who lie but rather that they don't consistently call out the lies as they should. In other words #CNN/#MSM cannot just ignore @KellyannePolls and other #Trump admin officials even though they lie a lot

Remember when Brian interviewed David Hogg and allowed him to flat-out lie about guns and gun laws in this country, never once correcting him or pushing back?
Good times.
No. They are the liars. How did that Russian Collusion story work out for them? #MediaLies

Not great.
At all.
So, using your fascist logic, you should be shunned.

Oof.
Looks like someone hacked Soledad's account and is tweeting.
She's making too much sense.— El Captain Crunch (@greenrotgut) December 29, 2019
Fair point.

Or they are hired by @CNN and @MSNBC as commentators, but then again, they were fake news outlets to begin with before those hires.

I mean how else do you build a proper echo chamber.

I have Stelter muted for this exact reason – he has a pattern of simply repeating and amplifying obvious lies without ever correcting them. Ironic that he's been all over my TL in QTs for the past few days for finally acknowledging that people are critical of TV guests who lie ?

Muting Stelter.
What a brilliant idea.
Heh.
