Brian Stelter’s latest whining about Donald Trump and Fox News’ joint ‘politicization’ of COVID19 should be accompanied by a tiny violin

New from me: As the coronavirus crisis deepens, the Trump admin is favoring Fox News and turning down almost all other networks' interview requests. It's the politicization of a pandemic… https://t.co/jBX71IHSHS

This take is so hot, it could only come from Brian Stelter (or Oliver Darcy).

"There are some people on the task force who actually want to do TV but can't get any straight answers from the WH or the VP's comms shop, so interviews are falling through the cracks left and right," a TV producer with knowledge of the matter told me https://t.co/jBX71IHSHS

Brian Stelter has effectively dedicated his working life to complaining about Donald Trump and Fox News, and now suddenly he’s pissed that Trump is blowing off CNN for Fox News?

WORLD ENDS, FOX NEWS BEDEVILS STELTER https://t.co/2Fh8WSHEHF

What does Brian care? He's advocating not even carrying press briefings.

Seriously. Media outlets like MSNBC and NPR are refusing to properly air Donald Trump’s COVID19 press briefings because they want to be filters through which the American public gets our information.

CNN: "You know, we should probably stop airing Trump's pressers."

Trump: "We're going to give Fox the interviews then."

CNN: "NO FAIR!!!!" https://t.co/0zaiD0tNn7

The idea of Brian Stelter being outraged that Trump doesn’t want to indulge CNN’s constant campaign to undermine his every move is just ridiculous. But typical of Brian Stelter.

Why won't the president we've actively tried to sabotage and undermine with falsehoods for years grant us access now that we want it.

That's what CNN gets for its partisan slant.

You need to spend quality time looking in the mirror on this one, tater.

Until next time, Brian.
