Brian Stelter Eagerly Jumped on the Biden White House-Driven ‘Cheap Fakes’ Bandwagon – Twitchy

CNN’s Jake Tapper has a new book out called ‘Original Sin’ where he and co-author Alex Thompson of Axios try to convince us that they were duped and misled by the White House over President Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. People are buying the book, but not the nonsensical take that ‘journalists’ didn’t know what was going on. It’s pretty clear that ‘journalists’ were an active part of the cover-up.

CNN’s Brian Stelter, like many ‘journalists’, enthusiastically jumped on the White House-driven ‘cheap fakes’ bandwagon in hopes of protecting Biden from the cognitive decline the public witnessed daily. Maybe Stelter mistakenly heard ‘cheesesteaks’; regardless, he came rolling in to join the coordinated ‘cheap fakes’ chorus.

Here’s a flashback. (READ)

After the Biden/Clooney fundraiser video emerged, CNN’s Brian Stelter excitedly jumped in to run the “cheap fake” narrative for the White House.

“The White House used the phrase “cheap fakes”…let me explain what that is….

“We now know Biden didn’t even recognize Clooney that day.

CNN and Jake Tapper expect people to forget all of this — as they act like they were duped on the Biden decline coverup — instead of the active participants that they really were.

Here’s the video of him trying to explain away what everyone outside of his ‘journalistic’ bubble could see. (WATCH)

Thanks to X, we have access to several videos that compile the signs of Biden’s decline.

This is a video deep dive, not a ‘cheap fake.’ (WATCH)

The cheap fake narrative was a joke from the start.

A joke, just like the legacy media talking heads that pushed it.

Posters remember that Stelter once hosted a CNN show with an unintentionally hilarious name that only showcased his lack of self-awareness.

It still makes me laugh every time I remember Brian’s show was called “Reliable Sources” 🤣

We could’ve lived our entire lives without ever seeing that pantless pic of Stelter.

One commenter wonders if Zuul from ‘Ghostbusters’ is possibly lurking nearby.

Does Brian Stelter look like the State Puff Marshmallow man in this clip?

Or am I looking at yet another deep fake?

It’s not a deep fake. It’s a cheap fake. 🤣

Wide lens fake.

Stelter hopes it’s a ‘deep cake.’ ‘Journalism’ makes one hungry after all. Poor guy never got his cheesesteaks.
