This really give you an eye into just how liberal Stelter is over there at CNN. He normally tries to maintain the facade of fairness, but not here:
FOX NEWS – Some of Donald Trump’s better-known supporters are even worse that deplorable – they want Hillary Clinton dead, according to one CNN star.
The left-leaning cable network’s media reporter Brian Stelter made the claim Wednesday on PBS’s “Charlie Rose,” and even named names.
Some Trump backers are in a “truly deplorable basket,” Stelter said. “Sean Hannity fits into it, so does Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones and others. These are people who bring up rumors and innuendo about Clinton’s health, and have been doing it for years.
“I’m not saying Hannity or Limbaugh fit into these necessarily,” Stelter continued, “but they — some of these figures want her to be sick. They want her to be dying. They want her to be on her death bed.”
The comments came as Clinton was rallying from a bout with pneumonia and preparing to resume campaigning. The former first lady, senator and secretary of state fell ill Sunday at a Sept. 11 memorial event in Lower Manhattan, and her near collapse was caught on cellphone video by a bystander.
Hannity, a Fox News prime time host and syndicated talk radio star, blasted CNN for accusing him of wishing Clinton dead.
“How do I get an apology from CNN?” Hannity thundered. “Should I — I would love to sue them for slander when they say, ‘Oh he wants Hillary on her deathbed and dead,’ when I said just the opposite.
“I know it’s hard to sue when you’re a public figure, pretty much people can call you anything, and I’ve been called pretty much everything,” Hannity continued. “But I’m thinking of suing them. Maybe I’ll get [prominent lawyer] David Boies, my buddy, to do it.”
Look, I disagree with Hannity and Rush on Trump, but I would never say they want her dead. How sick is that.
No, what they likely want and what I definitely want is for Hillary to pay for her crimes just like the rest of us have to do. And I certainly don’t want her as president, but that doesn’t mean I want her dead.
Stelter is a ridiculous excuse for a media reporter.
