Nicosia claimed the info came from an anonymous source who also said “management is confident Stelter is the one sharing the internal pushback to fellow media reporters while simultaneously stirring discontent within the ranks.”
Stelter’s tenure at CNN has been one of deep partisanship embroiled as objectivity. He has taken potshots at people and outlets who disagree with him, such as Fox News and podcaster Joe Rogan. Both of those instances his criticisms relied on the narrative that he and CNN were trustworthy news outlets and they were not.

Stelter was a fan of Biden’s failed “Ministry of Truth” and defended the doxxing of Libs of Tik Tok, two other positions in conflict with an objective news commentator.
Serious calls for Stelter’s firing began in February of this year. Stelter was an ally to former CNN president Jeff Zucker, who had to resign after it was revealed he’d been having a prolonged affair with a married co-worker.
