Brian Stelter, CNN’s chief media correspondent, praised his company for condemning President Trump as racist after a series of tweets the president sent out attacking the “squad” of liberal congresswomen.

“President Trump launched a bigoted attack against four minority congresswomen on Sunday morning. His tweets were straight up racist. Did the news media accurately describe it that way?” Stelter said in a CNN post Monday. “By and large, no, most major news outlets did not do that. Reporters and anchors took the story seriously but largely leaned on ‘critics,’ primarily Democrats, and cited their accusations of racism. The significance of Trump’s words risked being lost in a partisan fog.”
