YIKES: Brian Stelter’s Latest NPR Take Is Comically Stupid Even By HIS Low Standards!

CNN’s talent pool is so shallow that they had to re-hire Brian Stelter after showing him the door. But at some point, the laughing and pointing they get from clips like this one must make them regret that decision.

Then again, Tugging Toobin is still there, so it’s possible CNN lacks a capacity for shame OR self-reflection.

The former Reliable Sources host went straight back to what he knew best: speaking in a self-important tone while inverting the relationship between facts and propaganda. Anything he doesn’t agree with is ‘misinformation’, and anything he needs to say in the service of defending Dems or sandbagging conservatives is on the table.

When Trump made it clear that NPR has abandoned its role as an objective information source and has become the exclusive domain of activist democrats pushing a message that aligns with their political bent — on the taxpayer dime — it’s hardly surprising that activist Democrats would resent the loss of a government assist on pushing their party’s agenda.

After seeing years of playing the long game in using court rulings to move the chains down the field on agendas that lacked the popular support of the citizens (eg: the consent of the governed), it’s not surprising that they would attempt to use friendly court rulings to protect this propaganda vehicle that has proven useful to their party’s agenda.

But seeing Brian Stelter twist himself in knots to say that NPR has a Constitutional protection that prevented a one-party propaganda machine from getting the ax on federal spending? That’s straining the limits of the low expectations we had for this hopelessly partisan potato.

Here he is trying to explain the ‘logic’ of playing the Viewpoint Discrimination card:

Citizens and businesses cannot be penalized by reason of ‘viewpoint discrimination’, but there is nothing to say that the the Executive Branch can’t look at organizations within his control, recognize one that has gone hopelessly and irretrievably rogue, and decide the most merciful thing that can be done to such a terminally diseased federal entity is to put it out of its misery by pulling the plug (federal funding) on its life support.

Taxypayers in the USSR (not to mention Canada and the UK) may be obligated to fund Pravda or its equivalents. But that same obligation should not extend to taxpayers in America.

The fact that one team insists on government-funded indoctrination shows which side has functional alignment with tyrannical power structures — whatever the rhetoricians might tell us to the contrary.
