CNN's Brian Stelter appears on C-SPAN — and callers absolutely torch him: 'We all know you're not reliable.'

'Reliable Sources' host blames 'radicalization' in the U.S. that has led to 'media bashing that is absolutely unprecedented'

CNN's "Reliable Sources" host Brian Stelter appeared Tuesday on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," and people took the opportunity to call in to the live broadcast and issue searing condemnations of Stelter and his network's reporting.

One man called in to comment, starting off with a criticism of CNN, lambasting the outlet for a chyron from last week that read, "Fiery but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting," while buildings burned in the background behind a correspondent reporting from Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The caller went on to refer to Stelter as "Humpty Dumpty" and "a stooge," adding, "We all know you're not reliable."

According to Fox News, Stelter admitted the chyron was a "mistake."

"I don't know who wrote it, probably a young producer who's trying their best under deadline in a breaking news situation," he said. "That kind of thing becomes easily criticized and probably not the right banner to put on the screen."
