In @brianstelter's sad world, private citizens @DonaldJTrumpJr & @kimguilfoyle shouldn't date because Don's dad is POTUS & Kim works for Fox News.
Also - Are we really supposed to pretend CNN/MSM didn't have numerous ties to Obama/Clinton White Houses?https://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-reliable-sources-blasts-fox-news-ties-to-trump-administration-in-excruciating-detail/ …

Genuinely curious how CNN has covered legacy media's widespread relationships with Democratic officials.

It's all googleable! I wasn't hosting "Reliable" in 2008-13, but here's a 2014 example.https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1016353420133982208?s=21 …

OK, so you "LED" your TV show with a strong defense of one significant relationship between a Democratic partisan and a top TV executive? OK. Do you have any examples that make your coverage look less uneven and partisan?

He hates she's a dem. defector... from wikipedia - She is also known as the former wife of California politician Gavin Newsom and was First Lady of San Francisco during Newsom's first two years as mayor of that city. (he cheated on her with his best friend's wife!)

Eh. She’s an opinion commentator/host (vs delivering straight news from an “anchor desk”) and she was fairly pro-Trump BEFORE she was dating Don (so I dont think her analysis is affected/changed by the dating). Plus it is public knowledge they’re dating
-
yes. here's what i said on air: They seem like a cute couple. But "doesn't this new relationship radically affect her day job?" And "doesn't this complicate the entire network's coverage of the Trump family?"
-
Fair questions but, respectfully, my answer to both of those is “no”. Would be v diff if she were an anchor but her role is one of opinion so it’s fine, IMO, and the relationship is widely disclosed/known by viewers anyway, as well.

Plus like Howard Stern said each minute spent with Kimberly is one less he would spend slaughtering gorgeous animals in Africa.

all of the big game killed in Africa, the meat is used to feed families

Yes it does impact
@FoxNews coverage, since they're dating, Fox gained 1.7 million viewers daily. BTW since we're on this topic, Brian, where is CNN's rating up to? Yes that's what I thought. -
@cnn is below home and gardens rating

That is rich, friggin rich! Almost all you CNN folks have ties to people who served in previous administrations. Who is Susan Rice’s husband and what did he do? Who is Kamala Harris’s sister? I could go on and on.

Let me help you, MSNBC loves Maya, who by the way worked for Clinton on her campaign. Not a problem at all.
