Brian Stelter, anchor of Reliable Sources, concluded his Sunday show by going “a little bit rogue” with a vociferous defense of CNN, claiming critics who say it’s full of opinion “don’t know what they’re talking about.” 

In the wake of CNN President Jeff Zucker’s departure last week, Stelter launched a passionate defense of his network: “The people who say we’re lacking journalism, that we’ve become an all-talk channel that we’ve run-off, and we’re all opinions all the time, that Jeff Zucker led us astray. Those people aren’t watching CNN. They’re not watching CNN. They’re watching complaints about CNN on other channels that don’t know what they’re talking about. That’s the truth.”
