 There are some cable news shows that are almost purely entertainment. Talk shows that only bring on one side, you know, ranting and raving about made-up controversies. And of course I'm talking about Fox when I say that. There are cable news shows that interview newsmakers and world leaders. Do you think CNN does that too? Well what shows are you talking about? I think at times you do have some very opinion-based shows at night time like you do on Fox. So which ones? Welcome back and thanks for joining once again as we try to make some sense of this constant gaslighting that has become the norm over the last few years and is increasingly in your face. One of the worst offenders in my opinion is Brian the Tater Stelter who has hilariously been given the title Chief Media Correspondent and Anchor of Reliable Sources. This guy is no correspondent or anchor of anything reliable. There are countless endless daily examples of why this is the case but we're not going to focus on that today. Today we're going to look at an interview that Tater recently did with the 16 year old kid with a news-focused YouTube channel called Raving Ryan. Nice name. So during the interview Tater starts off with his usual stick of attacking his business competition over at Fox News. When this young journalist calls him out for his obvious hypocrisy on these matters.

How has the show changed since Donald Trump became president? We're living through a crisis presidency. The leader of the free world wants to destroy news outlets, leads a hate movement against the media and that is an overarching story that has to be addressed and continue to be covered and called out. I guess in 2013-2014 I was able to have more time to do stories about journalism controversies, debates within newsrooms, which I'm so fascinated by. But when you've got a hate movement against the media and a raging pandemic, those sorts of issues are going to come more front and center. Okay, wow. This guy is just a master of misdirection. Stelter is of course unreliable. Just look at this article that he wrote in 2009 about Obama's war on Fox News. He quotes Obama describing Fox News as quote, part of the political opposition, a position that Brian Stelter currently takes. His article does little more than echo and bolster the Obama administration's complaints about Fox, such as, you'd be hard-pressed if you watched an entire day to find a positive story about me on that front. I never claimed to have a good Obama impersonation. Just look at how he pathetically tries to defend Obama against the charge that he attacked Fox News for most of his presidency, which he did. Yes, this was a complete failure at every step of the process during this entire campaign. The media definitely, they clearly and overtly and even told us that they wanted Hillary to win and they gambled everything, including their credibility on defeating Donald Trump and electing Hillary Clinton and they lost. Just because we may like President Obama, we might forget that he spent much of his presidency attacking Fox News. Bill Clinton attacked, right? He did not spend much of his presidency attacking Fox News. He occasionally pointed out what he believed was unfair coverage from Fox. Okay, I guess what maybe you need to realize is that for a lot of people who don't share your political opinions, that's what it feels like. What you're going through right now is what it felt like for the last eight years. Remember that article I showed you that Tater wrote in 2009 about Obama's attacks on Fox News? Oh, would you look at this? As late as 2016, Obama was still complaining about Fox News, the only media outlet that was ever critical of the Obama administration. I want to move into more of a broader discussion about cable news. And I've watched a lot of it and on all three of the major networks. And I would argue that when you watch cable news, you don't actually learn as much as you would if you watched like one of the network shows, if you watched the Nightly News or Morning Show. And a lot of it is moved into more opinion based shows. Would you agree with that assertion that you could probably learn more of what's going on in the news from either reading the newspaper or watching maybe the Nightly News? Well, I think it depends on what program you're talking about. I think cable news is too broad a brush for a conversation about like what, you know, the amount of content, the amount of information. There are some cable news shows that are almost purely entertainment, talk shows that only bring on one side, you know, ranting and raving about made-up controversies. I'm confused. Is he talking about himself and CNN? Is he talking about MSNBC? When do either of these networks or the rest of the mainstream media for that matter ever bring on opposing points of view? It's increasingly rare and I can't think of a time in recent memory that Brian Stelter has brought on opposing points of view. So I don't know, maybe he's just doing some kind of self-reflection here. After all, CNN just got sued for millions of dollars for manufacturing a story that targeted innocent kids who were actually the victims, simply because one of them was wearing a MAGA hat. Then there was that time you promoted Jesse Smollett's fake hate crime story, again because it involved MAGA hats. Or I don't know, how about the last four years of you claiming Trump is a Russian agent who was colluding with Russia? That didn't exactly turn out the way reliable Stelter said it would. So, yeah, he must be talking about himself and CNN. Wow, I mean, I'm really surprised. Good for you, Brian. Of course, I'm talking about Fox when I say that. Of course, the one channel that was pushing back against all these fake stories being reported by CNN. Talk shows that only brown one side, you know, ranting and raving about made up controversies. And of course, I'm talking about Fox when I say that. There are cable news shows that interview newsmakers and world leaders. Do you think CNN does that too? Well, what shows are you talking about? Um, I think at at times you do have some very opinion based shows at night time like you do on Fox. So which ones? I would argue probably Cuomo Prime Time, Don Lemon. Those are, I wouldn't say those are more new. I would say a lot of those are opinion based shows. Would you agree? I think those are newscasts that have opinionative voices on them. Okay, this is where I really start wanting to smack Stelter in his fat potato face. This kid just called out when anyone watching was thinking that Stelter is laying the bullshit on thick and what Stelter's response to defensively turn it around on the kid and demand what shows, what shows all of them. But like the kids specifically asked about the evening shows, it's hard to believe, but Stelter's actually trying to intimidate this kid for asking him a tough probing question, an obvious question, but one that is potentially dangerous to Stelter's diatribe. So now he has to try and discredit the kid by implying that his suggestion is somehow absurd. Sometimes people think about when they say, Oh, CNN has more point of view. CNN has more opinion now. They're talking about the monologues that the anchors are doing. Is that some of what you're referring to? Like the essays that the anchors are doing? Yeah. Yeah. I think the essays are like one of the big changes about CNN in the Trump years. And I think that they are a necessary addition. What the fuck is he even talking about? For fuck's sake. This guy is such a scummy, slimy snake oil car salesman. Talk about spin. Oh no, this is not an opinion show. Just a new show with people who are opinionated. That's the same thing, Tater. You're just calling it a new show because you think we're all a bunch of drilling mongoloids who can't see through your asinine rationalizations. All in all, it was a pretty good interview by Raging Ryan. I commend him for reaching out to CNN and actually getting the interview.
