CNN host Brian Stelter of “Reliable Sources,” who frequently used unreliable sources to push lies about President Trump and his supporters, including the fake Russian Hoax, has been fired from the low-ratings network.
FOX News reports – CNN is parting ways with ‘Reliable Sources” host and media pundit Brian Stelter, with his last show airing on Sunday.
“CNN will end its ‘Reliable Sources’ program on Sunday, August 21st. As a result, Brian Stelter will leave the company. We appreciate his contributions to the network and wish him well as he embarks on new endeavors,” a CNN spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Stelter said in a statement to NPR that he was grateful for his time at CNN and the show’s examination of the “media, truth and the stories that shape our world.” A former New York Times reporter, he joined CNN in 2013 and took over the Sunday media affairs show at that time.

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld made a joke about hiring Stelter on his show:
Conservative Vince Langman responded to Stelter’s firing by pointing out the very good week conservatives are having with Liz Cheney and Brian Stelter both being fired in the same week. “It’s like Christmas and New Years in August” he wrote.
First Liz Cheney loses her primary by 38 points
Then Brian Stelter gets fired from CNN
It's like Christmas and News Years in August 🤣🤣🤣🤣— Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) August 18, 2022
