Lack of disclosure controversies engulf a prominent TV doctor and a Chicago Tribune columnist; Bill O'Reilly gives a promised apology while taking a swipe at our own Howard Kurtz.
Mr. Kurtz, where is your own apology for your whitewash of CNN's coverage of the SCOTUS Affordable Care Act ruling and your equivocation with Fox's similar errors? CNN did a bad job, but you and your editorial staff made it far worse. Fox had nothing to do with your own network's errors, but you did your best to portray CNN as somehow above Fox. You made a mistake of the sort you delight in pointing out in other journalists. Reliable Sources depends on your integrity. Without it, RS is just a gossip show. Come clean.
Now more than ever, the press is a part of every story it covers. And CNN's "Reliable Sources" is one of television's only regular programs to examine how journalists do their jobs and how the media affect the stories they cover.
Brian Stelter is the host of "Reliable Sources" and the senior media correspondent for CNN Worldwide. Before he joined CNN in November 2013, Stelter was a media reporter for The New York Times. He is the author of the New York Times best-seller "Top of the Morning."
