They Want to Kill Me
/CNN media critic Brian Stelter took time out on his ironically named show "Reliable Sources" to tell viewers that he is now getting death threats.
Because in Brian Stelter's world, it's always about Brian Stelter.
We have news for you Brian, I know you are in just your first TV job, but this has been going on for years. Yes, Trump's claims that the "media is the enemy" is certainly not helping and he should (but won't) stop it.
But, threats to Journalists are as old as the business itself.
A couple of years ago, FTVLive had to install a large number of security cameras to our house and take some other precautions (which we will not divulge) because of threats.
It happens.
But going on TV and telling people that you are getting threats and playing the call from some nut job.
Why even put this on the air?
Because, Stelter loves making the story about him.
It does appear that Trump's rhetoric is increasing the threats against Journalists and even non-Journalists like Don Lemon and Brian Stelter.
