CNN's Brian Stelter on Monday plainly stated what many have long since observed much of the media morphing into — particularly in this age of Facebook journalism, reporters rushing to espouse their views on Twitter, and commentary increasingly becoming part of what was once hard news.

 

"What's the role of the press in this broken environment?" Stelter asked, looking straight into the camera. "In part, our role is to keep collecting facts, all the facts so citizens can make up their own minds. But I think it's also our role to stand up for decency and morality, especially if others won't."

What else did Stelter say?

Stelter's "Reliable Sources" clip began with him telling his audience to pay attention to the "big lies" from President Donald Trump and his administration, particularly "no obstruction, no obstruction at all" in the wake of special prosecutor Robert Mueller's report — which indicated there wasn't enough evidence to say Trump colluded with Russia and that Mueller wouldn't exonerate or accuse Trump of obstructing justice.

But Stelter didn't see it that way: "The attempts to obstruct are screaming off the page," he said before adding that while there was "no conspiracy found in the Mueller report, but there's no integrity, either."
