CNN's Brian Stelter Takes Fire From Hollywood Columnist Over Trump Coverage

Michael Wolff of The Hollywood Reporter made a stop on CNN's Reliable Sources this morning to scold Washington, DC reporters for being too mean to Donald Trump. Wolff had some special advice for host Brian Stelter, who has done a respectable job of holding media accountable for how they're covering this president without tilting toward one side or the other.

Michael Wolff is a reliable fluffer for Donald Trump and has been from the beginning, so you should assume what he says here is as surrogate for Trump on the cable network Trump criticizes most. Never mind that even high-profile Republican consultants are sounding the alarms.

Instead, Wolff is convinced the media is "at war with Trump," pointing to Twitter to prove it. Even when Stelter tried to suggest the real war is with "lying and falsehoods," Wolff would have no part of it.

"At the center of this is this new grail that we have is, how are we going to take this guy down," he claimed.

Stelter then read this passage from Wolff's latest scold against media in Newsweek.
