On Friday morning, former CNN media analyst and host Brian Stelter returned to the network that fired him to weigh in on the fall-out from President Joe Biden's disastrous CNN debate performance which led to questions about Vice President Kamala Harris taking his place at the top of the ticket.
Since the debate, Stelter has been on his X account providing blow-by-blow reports about Biden's ongoing difficulties and, on Friday, he addressed those issues with CNN's Jim Sciutto.
"There's an asymmetry here and you're seeing that in the media coverage as well, where its liberal-leaning outlets who are pressing for Biden to go because they believe that's the way to stop [Donald] Trump at the end of the day," Stelter told the host., "This entire conversation about Biden is actually a conversation about Donald Trump."
"True, and you did not have a similar conversation in right-wing media, or at least publicly, from Republican lawmakers following Donald Trump's criminal convictions right here in New York, which of course raised its own questions," Sciutto replied as he began to end the interview — only to have Stelter interrupt him.

"By the way," the media analyst exclaimed. "Imagine Kamala Harris becomes the candidate. Trump is suddenly the old one. Trump is suddenly the one that can't be trusted on stage because he's full of word vomit."
"I was at a Fourth of July parade yesterday, Jim, there were very few Biden signs, there were very few Trump signs. It was mostly just people who are tired of this kind of politics., 'I want change,' they want newer, younger faces," he reported.
