Tim Pool rubs it in…
I look forward to recognizing Brian Stelter as he runs up to my car at a red light to try and wash my windshield hoping I'll give him some cash https://t.co/1SK0WhEQlY

This guy got it right, again.
SOURCE: Stelter is "down to weeks if not days" left at CNN. They go on "He is everything that reminds the new owners of the Zucker era they desperately want to get past" – More to come.

Nice scoop…
They continue: “Management is confident Stelter is the one sharing the internal pushback to fellow media reporters while simultaneously stirring discontent within the ranks”

Will Tucker Carlson have another Gloat-a-Thon tonight like he did for Liz Cheney?
TUCKER: "Liz Cheney is America's foremost defender of democracy, but democracy spanked her hard last night…hahahaha!"

LOL.
Tucker on Liz Cheney’s loss: “I must say I feel sorry for her. It turns out American voters are harder to deal with than Iraqi civilians, you can’t just drone them to death.” pic.twitter.com/wMT7zLfYcy

We can’t wait to see what he does with it.
Some good highlights from Fox News:
CNN is parting ways with “Reliable Sources” host and media pundit Brian Stelter, with his last show airing on Sunday.
…
Stelter’s exit comes as new CNN CEO Chris Licht has put an emphasis on “news,” as opposed to the liberal opinion programming that the network become known for under Jeff Zucker’s management, particularly during the Trump administration.
Stelter developed a reputation as a left-wing pundit who spent much of his airtime criticizing conservative media. He was recently called out in a report about an attempt to restore the organization’s nonpartisan approach as the “face of the network’s liberal shift” in the eyes of conservatives.
Stelter, one of the mainstream media’s most outspoken critics of former President Trump, will host his final CNN show on Sunday. In what many assumed was an attempt to appease new management, Stelter recently had an apparent epiphany about the severity of the Hunter Biden scandal, which turned out not to be a dismissable “right-wing media story” like the liberal pundit insisted in 2020.
Lol. Guess that epiphany didn’t work out.
The ratings were also in the toilet:
“Reliable Sources” had issues attracting viewers during the Biden administration. In August, the show is down a staggering 41% among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54 compared to the same month last year. For the year, Stelter’s program shed 26% of its 2021 total audience and 34% among the key demo. 2022 was also the lowest-rated year among the demo for “Reliable Sources” since before Trump took office.
Heh:
During his time at CNN, Stelter was regularly mocked by critics as a “hall monitor” and the media’s “janitor,” while others referred to him by disparaging nicknames such as “Humpty Dumpty” and “Tater.”
The insufferable Oliver Darcy is still at CNN, for now:
CNN’s Oliver Darcy, long seen as Stelter’s sidekick, will remain at the network and lead the Reliable Sources” newsletter that he previously co-authored with Stelter.
Read the rest from Fox News… they have a rundown on Stelter’s greatest misses.
