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…
Now cancel The View.
Probably will happen. They got rid of the potato and all that old grease on The View can’t be good for corporate health either
That would be epic!!
The Green New Deal should insist as all the View contributes to our planet is concentrated toxic hot air affecting our climate.
That show should be called The Shrews.
Shrieking Shrews….
If TV shows had to have truthful names.
Believe it or not but they are enjoying high ratings.
Survey says.
Kinda like all those twattle users they refuse to prove are human.
He GOT what he GAVE others…and did to others.
He DESTROYED lives. Now suck it up.
What ye so reap, ye sow.
You got the reap and sow parts backward. But I get the point.
His usefulness to the regime should have ended much sooner.

This AND Lizard Cheney being shown the door in just one week!
A Week of MAGA!
And don’t forget…https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/12/media/jeffrey-toobin-leaves-cnn/index.html
Left to expose himself to a larger audience via podcasts? /s
Well….the audience wouldnt be larger.
He needs to get a grip…
He has joined the campaign of Master Beto……

WOW. John Wood, Liz Cheney’s BFF, just left his family in Northern Virginia, rented an apartment in Kansas City, registered to vote, and is using NeverTrump’s HUGE coffers to run for Senate, trying to keep Eric Schmitt from winning his Senate race.
OT: someone with a twit account needs to tell Mollie to contact Jack Cashill. He has a good and funny recent story about Woods.
Now back to original programming! 😉
In the words of the great Nelson Muntz from the Simpsons: HA HA!
The fat man sang!
The fat man sank!
Cheney and now Stelter! I didn’t know it was my birthday!
It’s a very merry un-birthday! ;-D
Yes but the eeyores and wobegones insist we are LOSING.
Some can’t resist trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I guess!
Like Sundance says, there is a terrible disorder called Battered Citizen Syndrome. A lot of people are beaten down and have lost hope.
I do not believe our hope should be in anything we see hear or feel– But only in God. He has the plan. He is all powerful. He always wins before the battle has ever begun.
Thank you. I couldn’t have put it better myself. 🙂
Celebrate the gifts anyway!
Guttfeld is going to be lit tonight!
back to coffee boy?
Brian is only 36 he was born in 1985!
Every time he’s talked about I mention his age and people are shocked.
Looking at his background he was
was never a real journalist, just a news reader who had the look they wanted.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Stelter
The Campbell’s soup kids can relax. The Counterfeit kid has been canned.
He looks 58 . Full blown liberalism really ages you.
He ate the last Krispy Kreme in the box one too many times.
Hahahaha !!!
Yah, and he also ate the first KK, and all those in between!
“Sure, I’ll give you an excusive one on one, but only if its aired on CNN+, or whatever its called, you know that subscription only thing you guys just launched?,….oh, but you cancelled that due to lack of interest, thats right. Oh well, tough luck!”
Kari Lake, trolling a CNN correspondent.
Trump in a dress, no one does it better.
What happens when useful idiots are no longer useful?
They remain idiots.
Yep.
In fascist/communist/dicktator regimes, they are killed ASAP. I wonder how he will commit suicide?
This is what happened to the homosexuals and others in early days of the Soviet Union. I try to explain this to the “woke” idiots out there. They can’t imagine… they just can’t imagine.
How do the useful idiots know they are useful idiots? They don’t because they are idiots.
It’s tragic!
I still remember after ISIS took over. Throwing gay men from the top of a building to their death. The video was chilling. And not one dang communist, racist demoncrat said squat.
“Pretenses that eventually collapse under the sunlight of reality…”. Good one! Truth really is a force of nature.
Best news ever. Nobody is watching not even the wokish.
Just reaffirms my decision to cut the cable nearly 10 years ago. Why should I pay to listen to really stupid people that hate me?
17 years and have never missed it.
I have a brand new flat screen, never been turned on for 12 years. Bought it on sale and was going to use it for DC movies, but don’t even do that.
Ive only briefly watched CNN while waiting for flights at airports and typically only the weather segments.
I politely ask the people at the desk to turn it off. They always give me blank stares. Oh well.
I generally dont sit close enough to a monitor to hear anything so it doesnt matter to me.
He’ll probably go to MSNBC
Trump Organization CFO Weisselberg has plea deal on 15 felonies and will be prosecution puppet in next DOJ show trial
Can’t join in the celebration. I never knew him. /s
Is that Stelter….or Toobin ???
Stelbin ……..Tootler? Six of one half a dozen of the other
What difference,at this point, does it make?
/ssssss
YES!!!!
The private network in Canada, CTV, just fired their anchorperson, Lisa LaFlamme, on very short notice.
Change the message, change the messenger?
Finally.
Another one Bites the dusk Yippee
Did they replace him with Liz Cheney and pay her millions too?
She still has damage to do in DC in her remaining time, no?
Humpty Dumpty took a great fall !!!
The Communist News Network can shed all of it’s on air news puppets and replace them with new ones and it will continue to sink to the bottom of the garbage heap
I still wouldn’t watch cnn if they fired everyone and burnt down the studio.
If they burned down the studio, maybe it would be time for smores.
Or roasting hot dogs!
I would watch that! I like bonfires.
Wonder if they have to “cut him out of his office” like the morbidly obese fella who outgrew his own doorway?
Gosh this week just gets better and better! Thank you for this great news, Sundance!!
I love the smell of baked potato.
Perhaps he’ll get his job back dancing for Chippendales.
OK, unfair!
I just spit a mouthful of frosty cold adult beverage all over my laptop and surrounding areas of my desk…
Thanks for the laugh though!
Trump tower could use a new elevator counter weight.
I wonder if his feverish Costanza-like brain is considering suing CNN. As one of the few non-Ivy leaguers in that circuit, he’s surely the victim of vicious and wanton discrimination.
Bub bye pig
Seeing the headline, my first thought was of Nadler. He fits the description.
Paralyzing stupidity…that vibe you get hearing any leftist speak but especially Kamala Harris
Stupidly CNN didn’t do the same to dumber than dirt Lemon! I guess too racist
Baby Head made noises about Hunter. Baby Head no more.
Making way for the fattish woman of paralyzing stupidity? (Lizzie C)
The Potato man became too hot to handle.
it won’t save fake news CNN, though. Their reputation is damaged beyond repair.
It is going to be so sad when the Potato is found frying his kin at a McDonalds A year from now.
Oh no! Whose voice will Mark Dice mimic now? (Loved his voiceover.)
Mark will figure it out. I wonder how his Liz Cheney voice is?
He is broadcasting a Stelter memorial on Youtube tomorrow.
Baby Head made grrr noises about Hunter. Baby Head gone.
“Baby Head made grrr noises…” Don’t know why, but that just cracked me up. 😀
The Pillsbury Dow Boy now has time to join Dances with the Starts.
Look forward to see that episode, I “vote” (ok, I am not from Wyoming, so that might be considered voting fraud) for Liz can be his dancing partner!
Sundance, THE absolute BEST description of this moron! Love it!
So what’s going on with CNN overall? Daily Beast, referenced above mentions a “new era” for CNN. Is CNN building back better (BBB)?
Who will be their new audience? Will it be squish America Firsters and Never Trumpers?
FNC seems to have dibbs on Tulsi Gabbard.
A new “error” perhaps?
Just an absolute disaster of a human being. If the left wants an argument that will serve their pro-abortion political agenda, this slob is their poster child.
…Now get rid of the entire Biden administration! I bet if we do that, all of this “fake media” syphilis will go away.
Gotta go much farther than just the current administration! If not, it will be perpetually replaced by another one, and another one, and another one. That is the job of the fake media. As long as focus is only on current administration, TPTB have a free hand, and is quite skilled through its propaganda machine to gather enough stupid support for its next “administration.”
The current administration is only a mask, a puppet, a distraction from who’s really in charge. That has to be the focus. Everything else is window dressing and mis-/re-direction away from our own destruction.
Greg Gutfield will be absolutely gutted.
Sundance has SO impressed me over the years that I assumed he had just come up with yet another great one-liner: “the fattish man of paralyzing stupidity”. Sure I smiled and nodded, but I was not really surprised by the cleverness of the line. So imagine my surprise when I see that it’s from 1984!* 🙂 Anyway… the fact that a line from the remarkable George Orwell COULD HAVE been a Sundance original is pretty cool if you ask me. 😉
(* In my defense, I haven’t read the book since I was a teenager. 🙂 )
So, Baghdad Tater will be gone, maybe he can join toobin in his Toobining,
