- CNN’s Stelter To Shapiro: Who’s Displaying The Most Media Bias? Shapiro: CNN

On Sunday morning, Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro appeared on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” with host Brian Stelter to discuss media credibility. Shapiro slammed CNN’s coverage of the gun control debate in the country as egregiously one-sided, pointed out that the media had amped up various issues in order to get ratings, and noted that CNN anchors had remained silent when conservatives were viciously attacked on CNN, opting not to challenge the incendiary statements from members of the Left.

The segment started with Stelter commenting, “Let’s talk about media credibility in this unique moment in time with Ben Shapiro. He’s the editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire. Ben, great to see you.” The exchange that followed went like this:
–
Shapiro: Good to see you, too.
Stelter: You’ve argued in the past the media should not go around pointing out how abnormal these circumstances are. Why is that?
Shapiro: It sort of depends. This stuff, over this weekend, was not particularly normal. It’s hard for me to argue the media shouldn’t be saying that the president is acting in non-normal fashion with regard to the Russia investigation. That said, I think that because the media have been saying, “not normal” so often for so long for over a year, for two years at this point, at a certain point it becomes the boy who cried wolf. Even when something is not normal as it has been this weekend, I think there are a lot of folks who go, “That’s just the media spouting off; how are we supposed to trust them after two years of them saying that everything the man does isn’t normal?”

Stelter: Isn’t that because there’s been a decade-long movement on the Right to discredit the media, well before President Trump came along?
