Everyone loves a good bit of gossip, and none more so than those of us who work in the industry. Welcome to Unreliable Sources, where you'll find the juiciest scandals, most shocking stories, and buzzy bits of info currently circulating in the halls of power throughout American culture. If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me...

Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall…

Could there be anyone more full of themselves than CNN’s “Reliable Sources” host and media reporter Brian Stelter?

Stuck-Up Stelter — aka “Humpty Dumpty,” according to Sean Hannity — even pisses off his fellow left-wing cable crew with his “it’s all about me” style of journalism.

"I don’t think I have met someone with an ego as big as Brian,” one CNN source whispered to Unreliable Sources.

“When we moved from Columbus Circle to the new complex at Hudson Yards (in New York), the joke was that we were unsure if Brian’s ego would fit through the door!”

That’s a very harsh assessment of the self-appointed media czar. So, this column undertook a rigorous, two-minute investigation to find out the real truth about Stuck-Up Stelter.

Exhibit A.

Unreliable Sources turned to Stuck-Up Stelter’s insufferable nightly newsletter this week, (incorrectly) titled, “CNN Reliable Sources.” Here were our findings:

His bolded byline was highlighted yellow — just in case, one, you missed his headshot above, and two, you didn’t notice it was Stuck-Up Stelter writing the newsletter.

“But for the families that feel like they've been torn apart by Fox, this is not a happy anniversary,” writes Stuck-Up Stelter, loosening us up to be ready for his ground-breaking reporting.

“I asked Jen Senko about this, because she directed a film titled "The Brainwashing of My Dad" that she turned into a book with the same name, newly published this week. "Well, well, well," she said, when I emailed her about the 25-year milestone.”

OK, so Stuck-Up Stelter knows how to email.

In the next paragraph, Stuck-Up Stelter takes it to a whole new level.

“In the reporting for my book "HOAX…,” he dribbled, with a hyperlink to purchase the book from Simon & Schuster, his publisher.

We can’t help but wonder if this kind of pay for play is consistent with CNN’s standards and ethics? (Hint: It’s not.)

OK, so Stuck-Up Stelter loves a sneaky cash-grab.

Not content with inserting himself into the preceding story, Stuck-Up Stelter then dribbled on about how Fox News was underestimated when it bega
