Brian Stelter was once a fairly important Democrat media figure. But when liberal author Michael Wolff did this, well you knew his days were numbered. When Democats turn on each other, it's a sign things are getting pretty bad.
Fired by new CNN CEO Chris Licht as part of a housecleaning to make the left-wing network appear less so, Stelter also managed to kill off the longest running show on CNN Reliable Sources, which was cancelled.
There are some rumblings about this being about being about ideology, meaning maybe Licht is some kind of conservative and not a lefty like Stelter. This is clearly not the case as Licht is the guy who launched Morning Joe and some hatchet job called The Cartoon President about Donald Trump.
At any rate the era of the human potato is over at CNN. Good luck Brian, I'll miss the Mark Dice impersonations of you.
