Please view this story with a healthy dose of "reportedly" and "allegedly." This is almost like a gossip column. One where I heard from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard it from another friend that Brian Stelter is telling people he's getting fired from CNN. It's hardly the first time Brian Stelter's name has been on the chopping block. But with the reports that CNN is going back to news content and away from BlueAnon fan fiction, our favorite genderless potato head would obviously be at the top of the list.
Let's recap. CNN named Chris Licht as his new president. Licht is the former showrunner of Stephen Colbert's "comedy" show and the "Morning Joe" "news" show. Though, I will say, in Licht's defense, when he was in charge of "Morning Joe," the show sucked a lot less. At the very beginning, when they replaced Don Imus and filmmaker John Ridley as part of the core four, it was a decent show. Then they wanted to hold Sarah Palin an accessory to murder for a commonly used website graphic, and it all went to sh*t. Reports are that Licht's first order of business is to change the format. More supposed "news." Less whining about Fox News and crying that Americans think Joe Rogan is prettier than them. I'm sure there will be plenty of fluffing of Joe Biden because... this is still CNN.
What is most amusing about Brian Stelter getting sh*t-canned--other than I hate him--is that he just signed on for a new CNN+ show. The brain trust at CNN+ thinks people will pay a monthly subscription to watch Brian Stelter.
What's next for Stelter if he does get fired is anyone's guess. MSNBC isn't that desperate. Tucker Carlson might offer him a job for the sh*ts and giggles of doing so. Or, and this would be delightful, Stelter could start a YouTube channel. Please join in praying to the god of content that happens.
