News of Trump allies combing through social media posts from journos from the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN and elsewhere has caused a great disturbance among America’s firefighters in the MSM. Brian Stelter is one of those helping the MSM circle the wagons:

"Journalism is not an identity. Journalism is an action. It is something you do. If you go out and gather true facts and write them in a true and readable way, you have done journalism."https://t.co/tF4wx6ifNl — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) August 26, 2019

Just yesterday a guest on Stelter’s “Reliable Sources” (pause for laughter) program literally claimed right in front of him that Trump is responsible for more deaths than Hitler, Stalin and Mao without one ounce of pushback from the host, but sure, how about another lecture about responsible “journalism”!

Having a doctor speculate on the President's mental health, was that journalism too? — Drache Energie (@feignedidentity) August 26, 2019

Is this the same @BrianStelter who, just yesterday, assembled a panel of ethically challenged experts to proclaim POTUS was a genocidal maniac, responsible for the deaths of 10's of millions? https://t.co/fJ5aQd5vj1 — Milo™ (@chasbottom) August 26, 2019

It’s just comical at this point.

So the people investigating NY Times reporters… Are doing actual journalism, right? https://t.co/IWHd802MZn — Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) August 26, 2019

Is this a parody account?
