Count radical leftist author Stephen King as one who relied on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” as he expressed his disappointment with the cancelation of Brian Stelter’s weekly show in a tweet.
King declared in the Thursday tweet, “The one show on CNN I never missed was Reliable Sources, with Brian Stelter.”
“It has been an invaluable window into how the media covers…itself. Today CNN canceled it,” King lamented.
A number of conservative commentators mocked King in a reply to his tweet including Tim Young, who told him, “So you were his singular viewer” along with three laughing face emojis.
