Ex-CNN employee Brian Stelter’s WEF disinformation panel is ‘pure gold’

January 18, 2023 | | Print Article

Amidst the annual gathering of suspected corruption and manipulation that is the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland a bright light of entertainment sprang forth from the as-ever “reliable source” Brian Stelter and his ironic panel.

Since unceremoniously getting dropped from CNN, Stelter has gone on to hold a fellowship at Harvard University’s Kennedy School where he has joined the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy with duties that include hosting panels on “threats to democracy and the range of potential responses from the news media.” Another way to describe this might be globalist boot-licker.

In fulfilling that role, Stelter jetted off to Switzerland with the elitists and their wannabe sycophants to giddily nod along as the United States Constitution, namely the First Amendment, was attacked during “The Clear and Present Danger of Disinformation Panel.”

Joined by the New York Times’ Arthur Gregg Sulzberger, Internews CEO Jeanne Bourgault, European Commission Vice President Věra Jourová and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), Stelter was on record posing such stimulating questions as, “How does this discussion of disinformation relate to everything else happening here today in Davos?”

With all seriousness, Sulzberger went on to refer to disinformation as “the most existential” challenge for society and that was only a part of the “pure gold” as commentator Monica Crowley saw it.

At another point, Stelter appeared enrapt as Jourová asserted while sitting beside a current United States congressman, “Illegal hate speech, which you will have soon also in the U.S., I think that we have a strong reason why we have this in the criminal law.”

Contributing editor to The Spectator Stephen Miller reacted, “Brian Stelter just sitting there instead of challenging this petty fascist is a big reason why he’s unemployed.”

Of course, this isn’t Stelter’s first rodeo on a disinformation panel. Who could forget how a college freshman had publicly humiliated the then-CNN host by calling out his network’s repeated offenses and how “All the mistakes of the mainstream media, and CNN in particular, seem to magically all go in one direction,” before asking “are we expected to believe that this is all just some sort of random coincidence or is there something else behind it?” to which he replied, “Too bad, time for lunch.”

Perhaps harkening back to that, conservative podcast host Mike Crispi chimed in, “Brian Stelter hosting a panel about disinformation at the WEF tells you everything you need to know about the WEF.”
