OPINION
CNN host and resident Fox News critic Brian Stelter wrote a creepy, tell-all essay in his weekly newsletter that made just about the entire country queazy. He fessed up to having a meltdown in the midst of a global pandemic.
“Truth is, I hit a wall. Gutted by the death toll. Disturbed by the government’s shortcomings. Dismayed by political rhetoric that bears no resemblance to reality. Worried about friends who are losing their jobs and kids who are missing school and senior citizens who are living in fear,” Stelter wrote. “I crawled in bed and cried for our pre-pandemic lives. I think those tears had been waiting a month to escape.”
Ahem.
“I wanted to share this with you because it feels freeing to do so. Now is not a time for faux-invincibility. Journalists are living this and hating this just like everyone else,” he added.

I apologize for the visual, folks. Feel free to go and hurl.
The truth is that journalists have been creating a global pandemic reality show – twisting the truth to fit their apocalyptic, Trump-is-killing-people narrative.
So spare me your leftist tears, Mr. Stelter.
