Journalist Glenn Greenwald tore into CNN host Brian Stelter Wednesday over his low ratings.
Stelter referenced a Daily Beast article that said Greenwald has “become a practitioner of manufactured controversy in the service of the hard right in this country.” Greenwald co-founded The Intercept but left in 2020 after claiming the outlet censored him. He is now a vocal critic of The Intercept.
“The only ones with a smaller audience than CNN is the Intercept,” Greenwald said in response to Stelter. “This won’t help, Brian.”
He also slammed CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” which Stelter hosts, saying that it gets “fewer views than a Manhattan street.”
“If I were @brianstelter and hosted a weekend show that has fewer viewers than the average Manhattan street – all while watching my network collapse – I’d guess I’d also be doing things like tweeting random insults about me from obscure Intercept editors,” Greenwald wrote. “Have to numb the pain.”
Let’s see Stelter actually name all of those “reliable sources.”
Dont know here….CNN has been semi controversial since Joe B got into office…there fact checker has found many falsehoods (something one would not think they would do after the last 4 years), could that be turning folks to PMSNBC and their lovefest. CNN was first on the scene….and there has been a reset over there……yet nighttime remains and agenda lovefest. PU.
