CNN’s wannabe media critic Brian Stelter one again got obliterated over his naked partisan bias after he shared an op-ed criticizing Justice Clarence Thomas over his wife’s partisan activities.
Here’s a taste of the blowback:
The bald avenger doesn't like it when conservative women express their own opinions. Of course, this is horribly sexist and would be a segment on his show were this said about any Democrat, but for the cause standards are trashed and hypocrisy embraced. https://t.co/C3XsRwTp6K

LOL!! Look, I’m not defending everything Virginia Thomas has done, BUT it’s absurd to think that just because she has strong political beliefs that they necessarily have any bearing on how Thomas passes judgements.
But that point was made along with many others by critics of Stelter:
Does it matter that an actual SCOTUS justice attacked the President & told him to resign? Does it matter that wives are not branch offices of their husbands but can & do think independently? Is Mary Matalin proof that James Carville isn't really a Democrat? What medieval thinking https://t.co/5ZAVGqY6T6

next thing you know she'll be running a secret cabal to socialize healthcare or heck even running for Senate in a state she has nothing to do with https://t.co/Km3vioP4Km

Thomas cannot do his job as a Justice because his wife has political opinions is a garbage take based blatantly on sexism, ignorance of the judicial process, and double standards. https://t.co/PDTV4gRES7

The Washington Post strongly suggests the wives of conservative Supreme Court justices shouldn't be politically active. How feminist. https://t.co/yrZK5o1SUL

Dude. You work for @CNN. “Nakedly partisan, erroneous propaganda” is your job description. https://t.co/3pDVsw1Ney

Podhoretz usually has a pretty good response:
Stephen Breyer's wife is a minister. Should he recuse himself from all religious liberty cases? No, of course not. He's a liberal. https://t.co/pKgUusLrpU

Yup. Just absurd, and if Stelter was honest, he’d address those issues instead of just stupidly tossing out the liberal part of the argument without proper context….
