Brian Stelter & Reliable Sources Have Been Axed

7. Stelter was one of the best on CNN

I'll miss him. I'm not sure CNN can find an audience of people who set objective journalism as a standard. Right now, they seem to have staked out the "downer" territory. Everything's dangerous; everything's violent/deadly; everything's scary; everything's emotional.

Jake Tapper can't mention Afghanistan without talking about the so-called catastrophic withdrawal. His whiny, critical tone grossly outweighs his intellectual underpinnings. We're supposed to accept his take on Afghanistan because, what, he has gravitas? Chuckle.

Good luck on journalism, CNN! You've still got a lot of great people.

Oh, and bring back Crossfire. Invite Tucker Carlson to participate. Paul Begala is still fantastic; Carlson is a broken mutant. But it would be great TV, imo.
