‘Dude…’: Brian Stelter spots ‘quite a contrast’ in Fox News vs. CNN/MSNBC coverage (who wants to tell him?)

As you’re probably aware, Fox News has quite an advantage over CNN in the cable news ratings, and at least some of that has to be due to Brian Stelter’s constant and loyal viewership. Sunday night, Stelter noticed a difference in what Fox News was airing versus CNN and MSNBC:

Quite a contrast: CNN is airing "White House in Crisis: The Impeachment Inquiry." MSNBC is covering impeachment, with a similar special coming up later this evening. And Fox is running an hour-long ad for its right-wing streaming service Fox Nation.

Brian, your recent impeachment coverage included Robert De Niro. You should probably pump the brakes on the Very Serious Journalist™ shtick. https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1191160792672063493 …

They spent 2 years on the stupid Russia collusion story.

Now they're mad because Fox isn't playing along with the impeachment obsession.

I think we know what's really frustrating Brian. https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1191160792672063493 …
