As my colleague Brad Slager covered, CNN’s Brian Stelter is extremely troubled by Fox News contracting with Lara Trump to be a regular contributor on the network.

Once again it is only wrong when others do it.

Yesterday, it was revealed that Fox News had formalized a contract with Lara Trump to be a regular contributor. The announcement was made by the family member and campaign worker on the Fox & Friends broadcast, and it did not go unnoticed by the news channel’s biggest fans over at CNN. Brian Stelter caught the segment, leading to his commenting on the decision.

Fox is now directly paying the Trump family — specifically Lara Trump https://t.co/nGUbDs9nvx

I guess Stelter’s office is nowhere near Chris Cuomo’s—probably cannot fit those egos in one room, let alone on the same floor.

Stelter complains about nepotism at Fox News, while turning a blind eye to his own network who milked ratings and enabled grandma-killer Andrew Cuomo, with the Andrew and Chris Cuomo Comedy Hour.

Nepotism is only for Us. The rest of you are pikers.

Thank goodness for real journalists like Glenn Greenwald, who popped the balloon of Stelter’s self-importance.

NBC News hired George Bush's daughter Jenna and also Bill & Hillary Clinton's daughter Chelsea, paying them way above-market salaries despite no journalistic experience. So NBC News directly paid the Bush & Clinton families.

Also, CNN pays a family member of Gov. Cuomo – a lot. https://t.co/ljBZrHoiph

According to JustRichest.com, Cuomo makes 6 million annually, and has a net worth of 12 million. Just before the COVID lockdowns, Cuomo managed to ink a multi-year deal with CNN which will no doubt increase that net worth.

Greenwald then stomped on the balloon’s carcass:

Also, let's remember: a CNN anchor is directly implicated in a major corruption scandal because he got his brother, the Governor of New York, to use state funds to provide him special medical treatment, depriving older & needier citizens who were sick:https://t.co/8K5PhvmV5w

Cry more, Potato.

Another tweeter asked some inconvenient facts about a former “conservative” host named Pat Buchanan. Buchanan hosted the CNN show Crossfire, in the wayback years, when CNN made a pretense at presenting a balanced viewpoint.

Did CNN directly pay Pat Buchanan for Crossfire before he ran for President?

Whatever Buchanan got paid, I am sure it is nowhere near the take Chris Cuomo gets. Dining out on your father’s and brother‘s reputation cannot be easy!

Tweeter William Jennings reminds Stelter that he could use some exercise and should visit his colleague’s suite of offices.

Say hello to the governor's brother for me.

If Leonard Nimoy were alive today he would be searching for any semblance of self-awareness at CNN.

Politisite properly finishes the argument, pointing out that no matter what the network, the League of the Lucrative Surnames displaces real journalists, every time. And bottom line with CNN: it’s always all about Trump.

You are aware that NBC hired NBC News hired Jenna Bush and Chelsea Clinton? Neither were journalists… but they were paid much better than real journalists… and you chose to talk about Trumps family? Could we please stop talking about Trump?

Not going to happen, my friend.
