Megyn Kelly, Glenn Greenwald Roast ‘Mr. Potato Head’ Brian Stelter Returning To CNN

SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly and Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald ripped Brian Stelter as “Mr. Potato Head” on Wednesday, calling out his return to CNN as Chief Media Analyst.

Stelter announced his return to the network on social media Tuesday, following the cancellation of his long-running show from CNN in August 2022. During an episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly started off by calling out Stelter’s reappearance on CNN.

“On the subject of Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, guess who CNN just hired back? The hall monitor, Brian Stelter’s going back to CNN because CNN apparently looked at its dumpster fire ratings and thought to itself, ‘hmm what would be the solution to this? I’ve got it, Mr. Potato Head!” Kelly said.

Greenwald then criticized the network for attempting to “be neutral” when “everyone knows it’s not.”

“I just want to use this opportunity to recall one of the funniest things ever to happen in media news, which was CNN decided that even though nobody was watching their network, that it would be a good idea to create a CNN+ streaming service where people were forced to pay to watch the very people that no one wanted to watch for free,” Greenwald said.

“Then it opened and 21 days later it closed and died because nobody had any interest in it, and that was the Brian Stelter era. But what you said is so important which is that one of the reasons CNN has way even less viewership than MSNBC, let alone Fox, is because it’s like an MSNBC light version that kind of pretends to be neutral but everyone knows it’s not,” Greenwald continued. “That’s why even Stephen Colbert’s audience laughed at the idea that there was something objective about CNN.”
