CNN’s Brian Stelter was mocked by callers who referred the media pundit as a "minister of misinformation" and evoked disgraced former CNN darling Michael Avenatti during an appearance on C-SPAN’s "Washington Journal" on Thursday, reports FOX News.
"Mr. Stelter is the biggest minister of misinformation I have ever heard and I’m a news junkie," a caller identified as Kevin from Indiana told the liberal CNN host.
"This gentleman told the American people, and his news organization…for four years that there was Russia collusion and actually, after all the $35-$40 million dollars and government investigation, we come to find out there was zero. Zero collusion from the Trump administration and Russia," the caller continued. "His stories absolutely evolve."
Stelter, who is regularly lampooned and often referred to as the media’s "hall monitor," was polite when faced with direct criticism.
"Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it," Stelter said.
A separate caller identified as Gordon in Kansas asked Stelter to "admit he and his network are a bunch of liars about Donald Trump."

Another caller said Stelter was "shameless," while yet another called CNN a "joke." The liberal CNN host smiled through much of the criticism, often defending his network in the process.
