In the 1990’s U.S. journalists were introduced to the concept of Baghdad Bob by a controlling state regime in Iraq. It was not coincidental that the introduction of Bob coincided with the rise of a state media enterprise in the United States called CNN. As we fast forward through the evolution, CNN and CNNi are now recognized domestically and internationally as media for U.S. Dept of State propaganda.
However, as with all pretenses that eventually collapse under the sunlight of reality, there comes a time when Baghdad Bob loses value for the regime. Once people start openly mocking the propaganda, the clownish efforts of the regime to maintain the ruse become, well, irrelevant. People start to ignore the messaging en masse. The value of a fattish man of insufferable stupidity diminishes. Time moves along….
(Via Daily Beast) – Brian Stelter will depart CNN, multiple sources confirmed to The Daily Beast, as the network will cancel his weekly media show Reliable Sources.
As a close ally and friend to former CNN boss Jeff Zucker, Stelter has occasionally appeared to be at odds with the new era of CNN. (link)
And tomorrow is Friday…
Didn’t see that coming 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
I mean, we all saw it coming…eventually.
Every one of these woke bastions will eventually have to face either cleaning house or oblivion. Even CNN.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
CNN is going to get cancelled. You need to sell a product that people want to stay in business. I wonder how much the IC spends at CNN for the public relations.
I wouldn’t be surprised if CNN is actually a CIA owned front.
We know Anderson Cooper is CIA, he worked for them and prob. still does and just reads their talking points. He is a walking talking monkey pox sore.
Since John (“Did I ever tell you I was in Selma ?” ) Lewis is now dead,
YTG is required to harp on one fact regarding Anderson Cooper.
That fact being that Anderson Cooper and Christopher Wray were on
the rowing team together at Yale. Such a shame that nobody thought
to mine the harbor, knowing what was forthcoming.
are you new here?……CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPost, and most of the social media are government-controlled entities for propaganda and subversion of Americans’ civil rights
Am I new here? Smh.
I didn’t say government controlled, I said government owned.
Their is a difference. Keep up.
Not when you are actually funded by poppy fields in afghanistan. The fentanyl influx from china, via mexico is probably cutting into those profits big time though.
Fentanyl is cheaper and it kills a lot of their former customers.
“Fast and Furious!” ;-D
I highly doubt it. A communist regime would still have to create a propaganda apparatus funded by the state. In CNN’s case the USG just funds an existing propaganda apparatus.
The rumor has been, for a while, that this was coming. Supposedly, new management wants to go to strait news.
I suspect they’re simply looking for a new mask.
Of course they are.
Now that they stole an election, killed our energy supply, caused massive inflation, opened the borders and have the DOJ,FBI,DHS and IRS totally corrupted, censored millions of Americans, gave us a hoax vaccine and allowed China to release a virus to steal that election, they are throwing fatso and his ilk overboard.
No mask could cover this evil.
Actually, it does, quite well.
Otherwise, we’d see an actual upheaval of all unConstitutional and anti-Bill of Rights “government” entities deleted and abolished completely and forever.
Those here who actually see the evil are very few among our fellows. “The names change, the faces change, but the structure and the evil remain intact and untouched.”
There’s a great work that must be done, and that most people are ignorant of or just don’t care to tackle; some are even horrified that it means their sacred “government” must be dismantled, abolished, and buried forever.
“Freedom” and “self-responsible” and “self-reliant” are dirty words to the vast majority. Who will protect us? Who will fight for us? Who will feed and house us? Who will make the right decisions for us? Who will tell us what to think?
Rugged individualism, a phrase from ancient history, now banned, would go a long way to getting that work done – or as those people who grew up in the Depression say (said), we need another Depression to get things right. Looks like the Big Pendulum is swinging back and knocking a few fatties out of the way as it does.
Except, the Great Depression only made “government” bigger and stronger and far, far more regulated and restrictive.
Nah. Just need to get rid of “government” and deal with the much kinder, more welcoming and livable civilization. Let those of similar bent and beliefs form their own free, prosperous and peaceful communities, and let others alone to form theirs and live their own lives peacefully and prosperously.
Government is the enemy. It creates and feeds off such things as “Great Depressions” and invented stupid “wars.” Always has been, always was, always will be. No exceptions, whatever you choose to call it. As long as there are a few men ruling and robbing the rest of their fellows, no matter the name they choose to call it — Marxist, Communist, socialist, fascist, “democratic,” monarchic, whatever — it is THE enemy of all the rest of the people.
There will always be useful idiots, whether those indoctrinated and dumbed down by their “leaders” or those willing to betray their fellows as long as they get “important” positions within the “government.” “Great Depressions” are engineered by “government,” and don’t change the willing stupidity and blindness of useful idiots, and don’t fix anything. Except make the populace poorer and dumber and fewer in numbers as the weaker ones die off. It’s all bankers’ lies.
And there’s the thread to follow if you would know the truth and be able to join with the others of us who know to defeat that Beast.
At least he’ll still be able to moonlight as a balloon in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
lol
I was thinking that he would be a natural for Monsieur Creasote in the remake of “The Meaning of Life”
/Better get a bucket
What? So the masses will no longer be subjected to listening to a man who, when he speaks, sounds like someone has his cajones in a vice?
That’s sad.
The High Talker.
Seinfeld predicted Stelter back in 1994.
To be replaced by the woman with huge man- hands!
What cohones?
Touché
Assuming he has one.
Again, very true.
” The science of propaganda will be rigidly studied by the elite …… the population will not be allowed to know how their convictions were formed ”
Edward Bernays
The “News” readers are merely assets controlled by puppeteers.
.
When no longer useful for future acting gigs they are disposed of.
.
The same goes with political operatives, they are just puppet assets.
Reliable Sources was important to setting the narrative for the weekly news cycle. As stupid as the show was, I always came away with a sense the people producing and consuming its talking points took it very seriously.
There is now a void in the policy wonk propaganda market which will need to filled. It will be interesting to see where that void is filled, and by whom.
Some beard who appears trustworthy…CNN getting serious now, y’know. Can they avoid a POC?
You mean a job offer to the current Press Sec?
Don Li-Mone….got it covered….HOMOSEXUAL POC
Translating for the State Department would be extraordinarily tedious work. Much like the Potato.
Yes the American version of the Cultural Revolution and communist half truths.
.
If only there had been a policy wonk show from the archives to see Mao Zedong’s deliberations on how to exterminate even more people.
.
Policy wonks to discuss how to have a higher adoption of the BLACK Square of Black Live Matter fame.
.
Our waving the Little Red Book with “enthusiasm’ was the Black Square seen on social media and still seen on many peoples social history.
.
These evil forces can no longer hide their intentions and that is not entertaining to watch for anyone.

BREAKING: Brian Stelter’s show reliable sources has been canceled. This came quicker than Jeffrey Toobin.
I Jess we are not totally communist yet because he won’t be liquidated. But he will definitely be erased from history.
Oh no – what is Gutfeld going to do. I so enjoy him making fat jokes about BS on a nightly basis. He lost Cuomo to make fun of and now this. I guess he’ll have to go after Lemon now.
Gutfeld has PLENTY of potential targets. He just concentrates on one as sort of his signature.
… from… you guessed it – reliable sources.
In one week we lose Toobin and Stelter…biggest loser is Gutfeld….
Yo @brianstelter
– my show is hiring.
coffee boy….cream and one sugar
That’s a good start.

Tucker refers to him as the eunuch from CNN…lol.
Wouldn’t surprise me any if fat boy had a vagina.
There’s nothing else down there.
I thought Judge Nap hates Trump ?
Trump and the Department of Justice
By Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
Former President Donald Trump will soon be indicted by a federal grand jury.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/trump-department-justice/5790556
I thought that was a balanced article. Judge Nap’s “programming” broke after he got yanked off live TV talking to Shep Smith making the claim that 5 Eyes intel assets were involved in Russia-gate. They immediately went to commercial, pulled Nap off the air and Shep Smith smugly retracted his statement. After that Judge Nap went away for a while and his tune had changed when he was allowed back. I’m not of a particular fan of Judge Napolitano, I agree with some of his libertarian positions, but watching what transpired live was pretty Orwellian. I had been following Dan Bongino’s show and Sundance’s articles, even reading stuff from TechnoFog, etc. I was stunned they’d yanked him off air just like that. That was the day Fox lost me as a viewer. Had he said that on Tucker, Hannity, Ingram, or even the Five he might have gotten away with it, but the news division (Anti-Trump division) wasn’t having any of it. It was eye opening just how parsed and delayed FOX was. I don’t figure the news division is good for anything unless there is incontrovertible live video they can’t refute is happening.
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/fox-news-pulls-judge-andrew-napolitano-following-controversial-005104868.html
Funny enough Bongino brought him up today.
He was fired for inappropriate behavior to young men look it up
And yes big time Trump hate along with gay shepherd
I read that he wanted President Trump to appoint him to the Supreme Court and soured on him after that didn’t happen. He’s clearly delusional in that respect.
Peloton needs a new TV Personality/Influencer
Back in the ’90s the head of CNN (Eason J.) admitted he knew about Saddam’s woodchipper but kept it quiet for “access”.
How little things have changed.
He not only knew a lot more things about what Saddam and his hench men were up to and deliberately ignored it, his people submitted articles to Saddam’s approval before airing them. He admitted this at a public meeting.
Maybe a reputable journalist will be hired as a replacement. The fact there are none is a sign of the times.
Nice thought. But…. not a chance CNN would take the risk of giving airtime to anyone who doesn’t read from their script. Kind of surprising the eunuch lasted as long as he did. He is not only really ignorant but looks like a 7th grade boy that puberty passed by.
that high pitched voice….reminds me of a pre-puberty girl
CNN must be making room for Lizzy
I pretty sure she could fit in his chair as I believe it was rated for 250 pounds.
They still have a long way to go before I will watch one damn second of CNN. I will not support people who lie to me, and that includes all the rest of the media scum, except for Tucker. I will support him until he lets me down. Right now, he is a rock star though.
PS…is it just me or does Stelter have the most punchable face in America? You all know you want to.
Either Stelter or Schiff.
Choices . . . choices.
Punchable faces, ranked.
Ladie’s night: Female treepers get a go at
feel free to add to the list. Maybe Sundance can come up with another Hollywood
Squares mark off for the worst offenders.
best avoid all legacy media then…..that would include FOX
I watch Tucker on my dvr so I don’t have to watch the commercials. That’s it.
I like the Gutfeld show. Not news per se but very insightful and entertaining. On u-tube. With ad-blocker. No ads.
“The new era of CNN…”
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
CNN is going to fix itself about as fast as the FBI…
I prefer my own solution: canceling all bundled streaming media/cable that contains CNN. I’m so much happier now! For example, I have never once seen a Brian Stelter program, or any other program on CNN in upwards of 20 years.
Except at the airport. But seen does not equal heard. Thank you noise canceling headphones!
see clips all the time on Gutfield when he mocks him
What are their ratings like? I quit Drudge years ago, so have seen very little on that subject.
Brian is finally free to pursue his dream of being a regular on The View. Greg Gutfeld must be heartbroken to have been outbid!
And he will have the distinction of being the cutest one on the panel!!
(Greg, you are welcome to use this joke)
That’s funny!
The application of the George Orwell quote is PERFECTION!! clap👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can’t believe that CNN has no more use for a Yes man of Stelter’s caliber.
Always reminded of a hairless hamster nibbling on food
He is one of the many reasons I haven’t watched much, if any CNN, for several or more years now.
Fattish is a gross understatement
If CNN is to remain as the unofficial mouthpiece for the State Department it’s imperative that the news outlet maintain its appearance as a “reliable source” for information, even if that appearance is only shallow window dressing. Will the new “window dressing” take the distorted form of a previously employed Virginia resident who happens to maintain a summer home in Wyoming?
Here I sit broken hearted.
I have to live life without Pee Wee Herman and now, gulp, without Pee Wee Plus Size.
Haha! I needed that!
We need another one like the J6 impeachers graphic but for MSM regime mouthpieces, and start crossing them off too.
I like it!
Repulsive face
They lose their FBI/CIA funding, and they will be in real trouble.
THIS JUST IN — Sources say Brian Williams is fast-rope rappelling out of a Chinook helicopter onto the roof of the CNN building to take over
…… Developing
A great day for humor.
didn’t they fire the Master-bater as well (Toobin)
it’s not just tv that gives out lies. I am shocked by today’s article on American Greatness authored by Lloyd Billingsley entitled Live Freeh or Die. Billingsley writes that Louis Freeh was in charge of the FBI when Ruby Ridge and Waco went down. He even writes Freeh sent sniper Horiuchi (killed Vicky Weaver) to Waco. Freeh became FBI director in late 1993. Ruby Ridge ended in 1992 and Waco ended several months prior to Freeh’s appointment.
Bill Sessions was FBI director during Ruby Ridge and Waco. Bill Barr was AG for Ruby Ridge and Janet Reno AG for Waco.
F-B-I sniper who killed Vickie Weaver was placed in charge of 2 sniper teams at Waco…..they were given the assignment to keep the Davidians from escaping as the armored vehicles were knocking down their walls and injecting flammable tear gas into the structure
My point is Freeh was NOT FBI director during Waco nor Ruby Ridge as Mr. Billingsley writes.
During Freeh’s eight years Kobar Towers, USS Cole, Unibomber, Oklahoma city bomb, etc. All reactive after bombing FBI investigations. None of the set ups such as Ruby ridge happened in his eight years.
Amazing the prescience of Orwell, right down to nailing Brian Stelter.
Liz Cheney needed a campaign manager for her 2024 presidential campaign.
Useful idiots are a dime a dozen.
He will be replaced with another.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
When they hire Liz Cheney, will they provide Lincoln’s black tophat?
Making room for Cheney (D-WY) to be in place. I’d expect her resignation from the House in advance of the election so she may be the top political and election commentator for CNN. They need to rebuild the credibility of fattish imbeciles on the screen. There will be many unemployed Congress critters looking for a continuation of meaninglessness employment. CNN will be in the middle of a buyer’s market for imbeciles.
Good gosh..she couldn’t find 30% of Wyoming to watch/listen/support her….
Yeah, but there’s the whole rest of the blue and purple states who will.
Reliable Sources, Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan. Always with the Orwellian name game.
Left out Black Lives Matter.
If it’s from a lefty I just assume the intent of the bill or whatever is just the opposite of its title.
They will just replace with another puppet for the deep state.
Potato was an example of a kiss-ass getting his own pathetic gig because he was a good boy who brought the boss his coffee and complimented his fine shoes every day.
Who?
Kidding. It’s good he’s gone.
Too bad so sad…it’s past the time for this ass to go.
Can’t wait to see Tucker’s take on this.
No doubt they got rid of him to make way for Liz Cheney. She is after all further to the left than Brian is.
Is Tapper still there?

Praise the Lord & pass the butter!
I cut the cord in 2005!! What is cnn
If you knew,
you would be talking and walking around like you knew what was going on
( but unknowingly, would be believing fiction and know little due to the spin masters…).
p.s.
( from similar experience – no cable tv – you have made better use of your time, since ’05. )
Count the blessings.
Imho
