The mean, dull, and Covid comorbid CNN host Eunuch Brian Stelter would be job hunting in the near future. After a reliable source revealed that his days at the biased left-leaning network could be numbered.
On Thursday, according to unnamed sources, journalist Jon Nicosia reported the “Reliable Sources” host’s time at the network could come to an end possibly within a few days.
Meaning CNN’s resident potato is on the chopping block too as Nicosia tweeted, “He is everything that reminds the new owners of the Zucker era they desperately want to get past.”
Stelter is reportedly causing problems and “stirring discontent within the ranks.”
They continue: “Management is confident Stelter is the one sharing the internal pushback to fellow media reporters while simultaneously stirring discontent within the ranks”

Here’s what The New York Post reported about CNN’s worst-rated show:
CNN’s media-centric show “Reliable Sources” hosted by Brian Stelter had its worst-rated episode since September 2019.
Stelter’s show logged just 580,000 last Sunday, and a mere 73,000 viewers in the all-important 25-to-54-year-old demographic, Fox News reported. The show lost 13% of the total audience and it marked Stelter’s smallest audience since Sept. 15, 2019.
“MediaBuzz,” which airs at the same time on Fox News, averaged 1.4 million total viewers and 189,000 in the 25-54 demo, crushing Stelter’s show, which has been under a microscope since Chris Licht, CNN’s new boss, took the helm in May.
In April Brian Stelter actually said of CNN+’s collapse: “It’s too early to know if this product, if this service was a success or a failure.”
Stelter tried to rationalize the implosion of CNN+ and scolded the “haters.”

For anyone who’s watched Brian Stelter at CNN over the years, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would give him a job or keep him on. The fact that CNN has for so long says how little their news/media coverage is worth.
But Jeff Zucker is gone, and the new Discovery owners allegedly want to take CNN back to their news roots and limit the opinion content. That’s not good news for someone like Stelter, whose whole shtick isn’t reporting news — it’s just attacking Fox.
