Failed CNN host Brian Stelter got more bad news to finish the year. As his program has fought for prominence during the Biden era, CNN’s “Reliable Sources” finished a dismal 2021 with a nine-month record of failing to crack the one-million-viewer plateau.
With President Biden in power, Stelter’s audience has dwindled. He spent years nitpicking previous President Trump’s every move. During the first quarter, “Reliable Sources” averaged 1.4 million viewers, but by the second quarter, it had decreased to only 846,000. Making things worse for Stelter, one of the best weeks for the show early in the year was a week that we was out and had a guest host fill in.
The program, which purports to cover the media industry, averaged only 696,000 viewers in the fourth quarter.
With an average audience of 947,000 viewers in 2021, Stelter’s show finished outside the top 200 most-watched cable shows, trailing a range of cartoons, reruns, and niche programming like HGTV’s “Wasted Space” and a host of digital programs that air on social media platforms, such as YouTube.
Perhaps in 2022 CNN will opt to move on from Stelter, but then again the kid has clearly held something over executives at the network as his show has never truly performed in any meaningful manner, and yet has remained on air. He also frequently sits in as a guest on other CNN programming, further demonstrating the network is either as dumb as we think they are, or they are unable to move on from him. I guess only time will tell, in the meantime those who punish themselves and choose to watch CNN will have to endure his ignorance and steady dose of liberal propaganda.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
