Santorum's assertion that Obama got a free ride from the Press over the Wright affair is absurd. He had to deal with it for weeks on end. It only seems that he got a free ride because he survived and one way was by finally, under enormous press coverage, disassociating himself from the Rev.
Santorum should be called on remarks that so clearly fly in the face of history... as should all politicians who rewrite history to reflect their own immediate agendas.
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."
