CNN helped make a star out of the weasel, Michael Avenatti, but now the network’s in-house media guru Brian Stelter has been caught saying junk to his four hundred followers on Thursday about his coverage of the former porn lawyer, and he ended up deleting a tweet in the process.
Vanity Fair, the magazine for white privileged people, published a lengthy feature story on Tuesday about the “epic fall” of the lying sack of fertilizer, Michael Avenatti. It’s the type of story that would typically find itself with prime real estate in CNN’s “Reliable Sources” media newsletter. But the so-called "reporter" omitted the negative story about Avenatti altogether -- and media watchdogs took notice.
“Weird how MEDIA reporter @brianstelter doesn't mention the Vanity Fair story on MEDIA darling Avenatti in his nightly newsletter,” Washington Free Beacon media analyst Cameron Cawthorne tweeted with a link to Wednesday's newsletter. “So weird!”
Stelter responded with a snarky claim he covered the Vanity Fair story in his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on Tuesday, but of course, this was fake news and Avenatti was not mentioned in the newsletter on either night.
“This is false. I looked at the last two newsletters before I tweeted my original tweet. You did not include anything about Avenatti or the Vanity Fair story,” Cawthorne fired back.
Once Stelter was confronted about the erroneous claim, CNN's senior media correspondent deleted the inaccurate tweet and chalked it up to getting “mixed up.”
More like he either lied or experienced a brain fart. I suspect the former and this was why he was initially snarky.
“You're right, I'm wrong, I got mixed up. Now the trolls have a legit reason to dunk on me… Will include it tonight,” Stelter wrote, trying to proactively blame trolls for his fake claim.
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment because they were humiliated.
In 2018, a Media Research Center study revealed that the shyster lawyer appeared on CNN no less than 74 times over a 10-week period. Rumor has it that he pitched a pup-tent on the network's campus.
At the height of the crap-weasel's fame, he spent some rare time away from CNN’s greenroom partying with the network’s anchors while regularly appearing on late-night shows, MSNBC and “The View,” America's political braintrust and buffed chick pundits.
Last year, Juanita Scarlett, [a former aide to blockhead Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and his equally clueless brother of CNN host Chris Cuomo] tweeted -- and then deleted – a photo of herself with Avenatti and another CNN opinion "journalist," Don Lemon. The photo was apparently taken at Lemon's posh Hamptons home where a wild party was in full swing.
It’s unknown how many other CNN personalities were at Lemon’s “Sag Harbor soiree,” but it’s clear Avenatti had a tight personal relationship with CNN staff before he got caught stealing from his porn actress client and trying to extort the Nike Company.
He could [but won't] spend 322 years in prison, but after the first 100, it's likely they'll let him go for dead behavior.
As a result, Stelter famously told Avenatti on camera last year, "One of the reasons why I'm taking you seriously as a [2020 presidential] contender is because of your presence on cable news.” Then Stelter covertly blew him a kiss as his face turned scarlet due to his inability to hide his true feelings.
It’s now safe to assume Avenatti will be giving up his presidential aspirations. He has as much chance of being POTUS as Donald Trump has of becoming Pope.
So, Avenatti was charged by federal prosecutors in New York Wednesday with defrauding pornography film performer Stormy Daniels. He faces one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft and is looking at up to 22 years in prison if convicted of those charges.
Avenatti allegedly stole $300,000 belonging to Ms. Daniels from a book deal advance, which prosecutors claim he used to "maintain his extravagant lifestyle, including to pay for, among other things, a monthly car payment on a Ferrari.” Avenatti already faces dozens of other criminal charges. It is unknown whether the book will contain photos of Ms. Daniels performing her art.
Stelter isn’t the only CNN host to overlook negative Avenatti news, as the network completely ignored the news during primetime on Wednesday, according to Fox News research. CNN aired four segments dedicated to Avenatti on Wednesday but none came during the 7-11 p.m. ET hours anchored by Erin Burnett. Anderson Cooper, Cuomo and Lemon, all who allegedly still want to sleep with Avenatti.
CNN also downplayed Avenatti's 2018 arrest perhaps because they were embarrassed over their lack of verification of their "truths."
In an emailed statement to Fox News, Avenatti said: "I look forward to a jury hearing all of the evidence and passing judgment on my conduct. At no time was any money misappropriated or mishandled. I will be fully exonerated once the relevant emails, contracts, text messages, and documents are presented."
And if he's convicted and sentenced to 322 years, he will still proclaim his innocence, Brian Stelter will still be a crappy reporter and CNN along with MSNBC, will still suck pond scum through a loopy-straw.
