CNN's Stelter on Cuomo's firing was just so pms-ing

Stelter's forlorn look of cluelessness

The Compromised News Network's Brian Stelter spoke out about the firing of the network's leading show host, Chris "Fredo" Cuomo. Now that Fredo is gone, Brian is no longer scared of getting a nuclear wedgie he was once promised for looking at Cuomo askance in the gender neutral locker room.

Regarding the termination, CNN issued a statement after pretending to conduct serious interviews with Cuomo rather than testing the waters on ratings to help in their decision. They considered whether what Cuomo did, which was to help his brother in his political crisis due to sexual harassment claims, was worse than what Jeffrey Toobin had done with himself and his buddy he calls "Little Jeff" on a Zoom call. In Toobin's case, they simply waited until the proverbial smoke cleared and had him return to his job. In Cuomo's case, the same may happen but for a good visual in the matter, they are telling the public that he's gone for good.

Enter Brian Stelter, the host of "Reliable Sources" into the story. 

He spoke softly and rather effeminately about the firing of Cuomo now that he's gone and Stelter is safe from the wrath of an atomic wedgie, and he offered a rather harsh assessment about the fired anchor. He said that the weight-lifting meathead had been "acting like an unpaid staffer" for his brother based on the documents released by the Attorney General despite "it was known months ago" that Fredo was helping his brother, Andrew "Handy Andy" Cuomo while he was still governor of New York.

Stelter told Jim "Dear Diary" Acosta that he has "no answers" and no reliable sources as to the "additional information" CNN had learned as part of its investigation and when it would ever be made public.

Additional shlamiffable. As if the mavens of fake news didn't know what Chrissy was doing. C'mon, man.

"I think this may be a situation where it was death by a thousand cuts, where there were just so many headaches time and time again involving Chris Cuomo that even though many viewers loved ‘Cuomo Prime Time,’ looked forward to his show, he was causing so many headaches for the network and for CNN staffers that ultimately this decision was reached," Stelter said effeminately. "I do think, you know, this is a moment where journalistic ethics are at play. I know there were many CNN staffers very unhappy with the situation, very frustrated by Chris Cuomo. At the same time, Jim, I was hearing from some fans of Chris, some viewers who said we understood he was looking out for his family."

Yeah, looking out for his family by destroying the reputations of the women Handy Andy allegedly sexually harassed.

"This was always a very complicated situation," Stelter began, as most things are complicated to him. "But I think the text messages and the documents this week, showing very deeply involved, very cozy with the governor's office, very improperly working with the aides, that was ultimately why this was announced tonight," Stelter lisped.

Previously, Stelter defended Chrissy, possibly because he believe he would get his fat ass kicked if he didn't, or possibly because Jeff Zucker told him to. He downplayed Cuomo's journalistic ethics violations while those on the right not only questioned Cuomo's ethics, but his journalistic ability. The guy has the mental capacity as a cup of gym sweat. 

Yet even in August, Stelter went on the "Late Show" with former comedian Stephen Colbert to try making a case for Cuomo, claiming he had journalistic "boundaries" with his brother and insisted "if we open up the journalism ethics book, there's no page for this," proving Stelter never read the book or if he had, thought it was multiple choice.

Anyway, don't worry about Fredo, either he will be back once the heat is gone like the return of Jeffrey "Different Strokes" Toobin, or he will find another gig at MSNBC or the DNC.
