CNN media propagandist Brian Stelter kicked off Sunday’s so-called “Reliable Sources” by decrying his colleagues in the liberal media for not being more hostile to President Trump during the “Sharpiegate” snafu. He demanded they stop helping Trump with the language they use and frame it as another episode from an unstable president.

Stelter began the segment with a 1984 reference arguing that Trump’s reference to an outdated projection for Hurricane Dorian was the latest in a wicked plot so he could trick the public. “So that when he says 2 plus 2 is 5, you'll believe him,” he suggested.

That suggestion came from the same man who’s been pushing a conspiracy theory that the President was suffering from a mental illness, without evidence. He even had a pair of nutty shrinks on his show to push his narrative.

To play up the theatrics, when Stelter declared that “the banner on-screen should say, “The President misled the public about a hurricane for a week.” That’s the big story,” the chyron changed to what he wanted.

Then, with a suggestion he was telling the “truth”, Stelter claimed “much of the news coverage actually helped Trump. He doesn’t realize this but, a lot of the coverage minimized how serious this episode was.”

Stelter demanded that the media “forget about the sharpie” and stop using “things like doubling down, he was tripling down, he’s quadrupling down” to describe what Trump was doing:

But this is how language helps Trump. “Doubling down”, it sounds strong, like he's winning a fight, but this mess really just exposed his weakness. So, instead of double down, we should probably be saying, “he dug his hole even deeper.” Or, what if the lead of his story said, “Trump continued to confuse people spreading bogus information”? That would be a lot more accurate than saying “Sharpiegate day six.”

Of course, Stelter had his own prescription for what the liberal media’s narrative, or “frame” should be. “This Alabama story was about the President failing a basic geography test,” he said. That’s right, the narrative was that Trump didn’t know how to read a map.

“Now, I don't want to suggest that Trump is incapable of reading a map. But isn't that the obvious question here? Did he see these maps, did he understand what they showed,” he insidiously wondered. “When you think about it that way, the media actually lets Trump off pretty easy. Most of the coverage is not showing this spasm of tweets through the frame of his instability, questioning his critical thinking skills.”

Stelter revisited his silly 1984 reference by reading a quote from the novel. “Now, how will this end? Hopefully not like the end of 1984. ‘The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their essential, final command.’ Now, in real life, we are not going to ignore what our eyes and ears are telling us,” he self-righteously proclaimed.

“But Trump proves every day that his words can't be believed. So, how are we supposed to evaluate his claims about, say, negotiating with the Taliban, when his comments about a hurricane emergency imply that he couldn't read a map correctly,” he finally chided as he brought out his panel.

It’s unclear what Stelter meant by that because Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the Taliban had made statements acknowledging the meeting was to happen and got called off. But, of course, Trump was just a distraction from a terrible week for the lying liberal media. During his show, Stelter ignored a Bloomberg reporter who lied about “anti-Semitic” comments from a DOL official.
