Repost of Part ONE of "Reliable Sources" Brian STELTER's love note to BecKKK. Part TWO airing now

Last edited Sun Aug 10, 2014, 11:10 AM - Edit history (1)


(Original thread title from last week: ) Apres Mistah KURTZ (CNN), Brian STELTER put a cash number on "journalism" or "success" ($90M/BecKKK) ----------This was PART ONE of STELTER's marathon 2-parts love note to BecKKK. PART TWO is about to air right now, 08-10-14, "Reliable Sources"

***********

When Mistah KURTZ met his downfall, it was great and the eventual replacement, one Brian STELTER appeared to be fine, in the sense of "fair" to the point of blandness.

But this past yesterday I was surprised to see him featuring BecKKK, but not only featuring but for a very large part, maybe half maybe more, of the hour of Reliable Sources. Surprised on multiple levels: 1) as in, "AT ALL." 2) as in, such a LONG exposure. 3) as in, this is only PART ONE. and 4) as in, with a blatant fawning sychophancy.

The key word was in the intro, in which STELTER uttered "90 million per year" with his formerly bland eyes LIGHTED UP. Throughout the interview, the light went on in his eyes, besides a skull-type GRIN of unadulterated idolatry.

The premise was supposed to be how surprisingly to STELTER it had been that BecKKK recently copped to his role in DIVIDING AMERICA. But it took about a quarter of the time allotted with BecKKK weaseling around avoiding this admission and avoiding specific examples before STELTER managed to get a tidbit of admission about calling OBAMA a racist, could THAT have been one of the ways he divided America? Oh, maybe just a teeny bit.

For the first quarter of the time, BecKKK went into his refusal to make eye contact, because, you know, people who make 90 million need to look away because they might petrify you with their direct look at you. Besides that STELTER deferred to let Beckkk ramble on in some attempted depiction of "profundity" while saying nothing.

It all ended with STELTER insisting that the "surprise" of BecKKK is how he has "EVOLVED" with BecKKK reinforcing this with his assertions that those don't evolve are dead and how he gets along with very opposites of him such as one of the lefttiest of the Leftist Liberal rabbis in existence.

Oh, there was almost one of the trademark BecKKK weeping fits, when he described how he no longer allows his spawn to walk with him on the street (of NYC) because once when he used to do that some rude Leftists yelled horrible things at him in front of his spawn. And there came the interminable pause, with BecKKK biting his bottom lip to control himself, and he finally was able to spout what his daughter had said, "Don't they know that you're A DAD?!1'

By the bye, I like to do follow up on things, and this morning in the car where the radio is on the talk station, there was BecKKK doing a vicious segment on PELOSI. I would have thought he wanted to heal the division. Like when I thought Laura INGRAHAM'S conversion to Catholicism would result in some -- oh, I don't know -- SPIRITUALITY and Christ-like behavior?!1

When I looked up STELTER in Wiki I expected to see the CNN STELTER. I don't know which one of these pics is actually him.

STELTER helpfully adds, "But is it Fantasyland?!1" Judging by last week's performance, not fantasy for STELTER.

BecKKK sez, "I don't care. I'm not in it for the money. Once you say you don't care and mean it, you're not afraid of anything."


Then he burst into tears. (Maybe, maybe not)
