Brian Stelter Quotes

I think that Fox News is a bit schizophrenic.

I don't think anyone at Fox believes they are producing even-handed, impartial coverage.

Criticizing Fox News has nothing to do with criticizing the press. Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public.

Fox is Trump's safe space. It's where he's not going to be humiliated, where he's not going to hear uncomfortable truths.

You think that the CNN hosts can aggressively challenge government officials? I don't think so. It doesn't look that way at all. And of course, when you get to Fox News, they're a whole different animal: they're purely propaganda.

But in the right-wing media, they do have a right-wing bias. And they also have an agenda. So their agenda is: we're an adjunct of the Republican Party, and we're going push that agenda every day, and, as you say, brand these stories that help further the right-wing cause.

Fox News is garbage.

I challenge anybody to show me an example of bias in Fox News Channel.

I think everyone knows the news has become ridiculous. It's entertainment driven.

People think they're getting objective information, but they're not. They're getting news wrapped up in opinion.

Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.

News represents another form of advertising, not liberal propaganda.

This country is a better place because Fox News has succeeded.

I think when Fox News goes to the Megyn Kellys, the Bret Baiers, and people who don't have much experience who haven't covered campaigns, the result is sometimes you have these inane questions that come out and, frankly, waste everybody's time.

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.
