As Twitchy told you, on yesterday’s edition of “Reliable Sources,” Brian Stelter indulged an absolutely ludicrous take on “conservative men’s” aversion to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. If only that were the only ridiculousness to come out of that panel discussion. As it turned out, Stelter’s panel was just getting warmed up:
About @AOC's media critiques: @CharlotteAlter says she's "walking this line by pointing out some of the biases that we DO have in the media, and also supporting the media as an institution, as an industry." Full segment here ? https://t.co/zy26nuIYxr

You’ve gotta see this thing:
It’s bad enough that the women on the panel are blatantly twisting themselves into knots to justify Ocasio-Cortez’s tantrums over being fact-checked — tantrums that they’d be screeching about if Donald Trump were the one having them. But when you’ve got Stelter just sitting there nodding his head in agreement without batting an eye, you know you’re watching a colossal hack at work.
I'm so here for this ratio

Then you won’t be disappointed:
Well deserved for sure.
@AOC is attacking the foundation of this nation!

Yeah, but it’s fine when she does it.
The GOOD attacks on the media!

Glenn Kessler being thrown under the bus despite the fact AOC's attacks on him and his source were false.

Notably, CNN didn't focus on the fact AOC simply was wrong on basic facts.
Good journalists would have started with that.

They actually praise her for the tweets where she got it wrong. And it's not just the panel, it's Stelter himself.

Brian Stelter may be the most stunning and brave firefighter of them all.
My god, you are a parody

Beyond parody.

That's right Brian, roll over and show that belly……
— RIP Arthur ??? (@LongLiveDKing) January 28, 2019
LMAO. You guys roll over the instant there's any criticism from the left. Kessler was 100% right and had the facts to prove it. If you want to be taken seriously as protectors of democracy, maybe show some solidarity to your colleague.

Doesn’t get much sadder than that.
Glad to see you finally admitted that you DO have a bias in the media. First step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem
