Video: STELTER's last Reliable Sources. Class, also with non-stop blasts

[UTUSN]

He and his guests (Carl BERNSTEIN, Brian KAREM, others), while allowing that "centrism" isn't a bad word, pinpointed Drumpf and "the (Drumpf) years" about "one party" being extreme in calling the press "the enemy of the people" and lying lying lying. There was a long segment about "the future of CNN" in which there was a blunt calling out of MALONE, who was noted as saying he had nothing to do with the cancellation of Reliable Sources, but the female guest with a Brit accent called him out as being a Libertarian. In the next to last segment he had the first guest of 30 years ago as the last one, KAREM who is quite the bomb thrower, who reinforced the points made throughout. Yet throughout said that he loves CNN forever and that it will go on.

In his last segment he said "nobody knows" what he's going to say, is not edited/censored, but it was a litany of thanks to wife, children, mentors, coworkers, and I think LICHT.

Note to Stephen COLBERT: Lay some whoop and influence on your former producer, LICHT, or take him BACK, where he had no problem with your OPINIONS and non-Centrism!

Brian KAREM

.... During the Gulf War, he was one of the first reporters to enter Kuwait City after its liberation.[20] During the National Drug Summit in San Antonio, Texas in 1992, Karem asked then President George H. W. Bush to comment on claims referring to the event as a "joke".[21] Karem lost his job after the incident but later gained an interview with Sam Donaldson on ABC and a mention from The Tonight Show host Jay Leno.[22] ....

While covering the Trump presidency, Karem gained attention for his interactions with administration officials. On June 27, 2017, Karem confronted then deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on "inflammatory" comments about the performance of the press while covering President Donald Trump.[29] One year later, Karem confronted Sanders again on the Administration's policy of seizing children from their parents at United States border crossings, saying "Come on, Sarah, you're a parent! Don't you have any empathy for what these people are going through? They have less than you do. Sarah, come on, seriously."[30]

On July 11, 2019, following an event at the White House Rose Garden, Karem called conservative social media representatives in attendance "a group of people eager for demonic possession." The remark prompted Sebastian Gorka, a former deputy assistant to President Trump and now a radio talk-show host, to confront Karem, yelling across the lawn: "And you're a journalist, right?" Karem replied with what some consider a taunt saying, "Come on over here and talk to me, brother. We can go outside and have a long conversation."[31] Accusing Karem of issuing a threat, Gorka walked across the lawn yelling, "You're not a journalist! You're a punk!" in front of a row of White House media and cameras.[32]

Following the July 11 incident, the White House Press Office suspended Karem's press pass on August 2, 2019.[33] Karem filed a lawsuit in response before U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Rudolph Contreras blocked the suspension.[34][35] On June 5, 2020, Judge David S. Tatel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled the White House Press Office wrongly suspended Karem's press pass.[36][37] ....

1. I watched Reliable Sources most weeks (or DVRed)

and despite the occasional bothsiderism problems, it served a useful function in our society and will be missed.

2. I don't know why LICHT zeroed in on STELTER about "opinion" and "centrism"

I remember a few years ago I was mightily pissed that STELTER did a multi-part thing interviewing Glen BecKKK, being *really* friendly and kowtowing to him.

I'd like COLBERT to land some whupass on his ex-producer LICHT.
