Just when you think CNN can’t go any lower, they blow everyone out of the water and hit rock bottom.
That’s exactly what happened when Stelter, who is always excited to make anything and everything about him and his low-rated, laughable network, took to Twitter where he shared a wildly tone-deaf WAPO article that stupidly compared the pointless and lame arrest of a CNN reporter in Minneapolis (who wouldn’t move when he was told to) to the death of George Floyd.
Unreal.

Earlier a CNN reporter who was asked to move from a certain area did not and was arrested by police live on the air.

The whole thing looked staged if you ask me, but regardless, as the cameraman was arrested his camera fell and it was at that point when the WAPO reporter and Stelter both agreed that “America” finally saw the world through George Floyd’s eyes.
Give me a break.
I can’t even believe anybody would be so stupid as to actually tweet these words out.
Here’s what Stelter wrote: “When a CNN camera hit the ground, America saw the world through George Floyd’s eyes,” @PhilipKennicott writes

Needless to say, Stelter was mocked brutally, by people on the left and the right for tweeting this stupid and offensive quote out.
“Tone deaf vile and disgusting soy boy”

Stelter and WAPO deserver every bit of heat and mocking they get for this.
It’s truly stunning how out of touch, tone-deaf, and narcissistic our media is.
