BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – A guest appearance on CNN quickly backfired for the network and its left-wing media pundit as both continue facing a credibility crisis.
The Washington Post’s media critic Erik Wemple turned the tables during a Sunday morning appearance on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” to criticize the liberal network over Chris Cuomo’s fawning media coverage of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
“I would be remiss, Brian, if I didn’t mention CNN’s own huge media story here with Chris Cuomo,” Wemple told host Brian Stelter.
Wemple praised the consistent coverage of other news outlets before taking aim at CNN’s own mishandling of the allegations, telling Stelter that the brothers’ “wonderful love-a-thon interviews,” and subsequent on-air silence represents a “major black eye for this network.”
Stelter immediately fired back and tried to turn the tables on Wemple. “Well, you’re entitled to your opinion,” he angrily began. “And keep your racist comments to yourself! At this network, we don’t say ‘black’ eye. We refer to it as an ‘African-American’ eye or ‘Kenya vision’”.
