Brian Stelter's triumphant return to CNN!

good for him

What a fucking bore.

And he’s bringing extra Stelter back with him

He was good at CNN then worked at some college campus. I hope he can help cnn. We all thought John Stewart’s return would be helpful but turns out he’s an asshole.

Wow, Stelter has been putting on the weight. He was considerably chubby when he was working on CNN prior. Now, he is quite obese. Is anyone at CNN telling him to lose much of that fat?

Stelter was one of the more interesting commentators about mainstream media... which was falling apart in the last decade. But now there hardly is mainstream media anymore - just little blips and bubbles of partisan filters. Now the media "public sphere" isn't network or cable... but streaming and podcasts.

Another guy who pings to high heaven, but is apparently straight and married to a woman.

the Stray Cats were awesome

Is he bashing Harris?

He has "stay-at-home dad" in his Twitter bio. That probably explains the extra weight. Lots of SAHMs pork out.

He’s become a fat bastard and will be less than supportive of Harris/Walz and make himself controversial much like fuck-face John Stewart. Stelter will no doubt want to impress conservative John Malone who owns 30% of CNN. Will not be watching and am very glad he got FAT!

I also believed him to be gay. ‘’Oh I don’t know-just a certain quality’’

Big through the hips. Roomy.

That little fat man is the very image of a little boy my Mama used to keep back in the early 70s.

Michael would constantly beg for food, bellowing "[bold]MAHMO! (how he pronounced "Mama") MAHMOOOOO--I WANT SOME MEAT!"[/bold]

Can't ever watch the little fat man without chuckling.

But I do wonder why MSNBC never picked him up? When he was flogging his book earlier this year, all the hosts who had him on seemed genuinely to like him. And the network could use a show on how the networks cover the news.

Who?

I read this as Brian Stetzer.

Why do you think you're funny, r14? Sincere question.

Big tits at work

The return we were all waiting for!

Well, I think he looks tremendous!

I haven't really been watching The Daily Show. What has Jon been up to earn the ire of the eldergays?

He was a fat kid who lost weight when he went to the NY Times. Initially, his strength was being the young guy who could teach the NYT all about non-legacy media back in the early aughts. Then he got married, left for CNN and took over their Reliable Sources media beat and newsletter. When Stelter was fired for criticizing CNN CEO Chris Licht, Oliver Darcy took over the daily Reliable Sources newsletter and . did an incredible job with it. Darcy left recently, started his own web-based daily publication and is charging something like170 for it, which is too rich for my blood.

It's hard to imagine that Stelter was seen as the avatar of the future of media at the NYT, given his boring suburban Dadness, but it's true.

Jon was on team "Joe is too old and must go," without adding "I'm a multimillionaire so fuck do I care who wins."

Can I be far behind?

r23 - oh, I should've known it was that. God, do the Eldergays realize that calling for Biden to step down wasn't an attack on all of you octogenarians?

As with Toobin, a forgiving CNN welcomes her baby home

YUUUUCK

At the end of the day…We should be glad ‘’ Alka-Seltzer’’ didn’t go to the Trump side like other expelled CNN personalities such as Dear Donna Brazil or Howard Kurtz and I’m sure many more.

Serious answer, R17? Punch drunk I guess; was up 36 straight hours caring for an ill elderly relative.

Sorry to have offended you.

It's JON Stewart, you fat illiterate whores!

Sorry JON and welcome aboard.

more Bobbie Batista references please.....

and throw in a Lynne Russell for good measure

"What has Jon been up to earn the ire of the eldergays?"

Mostly "both sides," with Democrats being the real villains against those fine upstanding Republicans and Donald Trump and his impeccable reputation for honesty and candor.

So, in other words, he's Comedy Central's version of the New York Times.

Jon Stewart does the “we’re all the same/ Bill Maher dance” 🤷🏻‍♂️ as Republicans put olde dollar bills in his g-string

Stewart was vehemently anti-Biden, then pretty supportive of Harris when Biden stepped down. He is hilarious still in his savage jokes about Trump. He's not cranky and self-centered at Maher. They both will vote for Harris.

r23. I think everyone is appreciative now of Kamala replacing Joe, but at the time, it was a slow, painful bloodletting with no happy ending assured. The people pushing this were from the moneyed class and it was fucking terrifying to people depending on Medicare for healthcare and possibly Social Security to augment their incomes. Both would be slashed under Trump and they seemed to be handing him a victory..

Oh and by the way, fuck those student loans. I paid off 60,000 in ten years.

Welcome back, brain genius

Jon Stewart's time has passed.

He should stay on the little league farm with the rescue miniature donkeys

His personality has become as ugly as his fallen face.

I’d get on my knees for a taste of his…reliable source.

R7- I just watched him here- what a QUEEN !

He sounds as GAY as Richard Simmons ( I'm not making fun of Richard Simmons because I liked him RIP)

R37- No I'm NOT appreciative of an EMPTY VESSEL replacing that SENILE POTUS.

Stay tuned for..."Style with Elsa Klensch!"

I'm NOT appreciative of Russian-style trolling either, R43, so I'll send you off to the grease fire with other basic trolls, i.e. the "Ignored list."

He used to make fun of women in 2016-2018 when they would say that Trump will overturn Roe. He was always like “Trump won’t really do that. “

He’s an asshole.

“Worst comeback Evah!”

R228 Please Boris, Donna Brazile will NEVER go to the Trump "side" and for you to say that shows you're the trolliest troll that ever trolled!

R9 this time he wants to keep his job

Was Billy Porter on with Eugene Daniel?

He won’t stay long.

His newsletter started this am.

He won’t last .

R47 for Stewart, not for beloved Stelter
