CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter is having an identity crisis. While on the one hand he claims to be a vehement supporter of free speech, Stelter is now gushing with glee over the censorship and removal of Alex Jones and his InfoWars channel from the social media-sphere.
Controversy recently arose around this issue when Stelter was caught stalking Alex Jones on Periscope. A screenshot of Stelter commenting on a live InfoWars video stream from his official account revealed that his support for free speech stops precisely where those who disagree with him decide to exercise it. Stelter wrote:
“It’s surprising how small the audience is here. Only 3,000 people watching. As Trump might say: Sad!”
Stelter’s apparent aim with this insult was to mock Alex Jones and InfoWars for not having very many watchers or followers – an ironic implication coming from someone who works for CNN, which recent Nielsen Media Research data shows is now less popular during primetime than the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens program.
It’s our guess that Stelter didn’t really think that anybody would take notice of his comment on Periscope, and that he would simply laugh about it to himself and move on. But folks did take notice, including The Daily Caller journalist Ian Miles Cheong who wrote on Twitter:
“Hey Brian, were you in the Periscope chat earlier? Someone using your name posted this,” followed by a link to a screenshot of Stelter’s Periscope comment.
Breitbart was able to verify that the comment was, in fact, made by Stelter, and not an impostor account. But Stelter has yet to address his glaring hypocrisy on free speech, which in his mind apparently only applies to people like himself who hold similar political views. Alex Jones and others who think like or support him, however, are apparently open game for censorship.
