Brian Stelter recently appeared at the World Economic Forum in Davos to host an event during which speakers discussed the topic of “disinformation”, with the obvious insinuation being that Trump and the populists are evildoers that spread “disinformation”.
Tucker Carlson, always a nemesis of Stelter and one of his funniest critics, used the opportunity to hilariously mock the former CNN personality who was fired when new CEO Chris Licht took over and started attempting to make the network reputable again. Watch Tucker mock Stelter here:
As you can hear in the video, Tucker, making fun of the WEF, said “If this is all starting to sound like a bad CNN segment to you, a parade of self-confident, dumb people, rich in self-esteem, low in wisdom, giving moralizing lectures to one another’s applause, well, let us confirm that for you. Where was Don Lemon? Why wasn’t he there? Well, he wasn’t. That’s on next year’s program, no doubt. ”
Continuing, he then brought up Stelter, saying”This year – we’re not making this up – America’s favorite unemployed media critic. Mr. Brian Stelter, ladies and gentlemen. Watch.”
And that’s when it cut to Stelter speaking at his “disinformation” event, saying “The clear and present danger of disinformation is our conversation here this afternoon. It follows a session just now about disrupting distrust and of course, those are connected. So I hope that’s where we can start. I’m Brian Stelter, formerly of CNN, now a fellow at Harvard University. A reminder, the hashtag is WEF23. We can try to put some real information out into the world to make up for all the crazy.”
Tucker then returned and started mocking them again and exposing what he views as being the danger of what the WEF is all about, saying ‘”Make up for all the crazy.’ The conclusion this year at the World Economic Forum is that people who are not at the World Economic Forum have too much free speech, too many bad ideas, too much crazy and too much opportunity to talk. They’re still talking out there. Stop them before they talk some more. ”

And that wasn’t all, continuing, Tucker then continued his takedown of the WEF generally, saying “So if you’re getting the impression that the world’s most mediocre people and least self-aware people are all congregating in Switzerland this week, you are on to something. In fact, it might be worth getting an attendee list just to make certain that not a single person who was there this week ever has power over you in any way. If one of these people shows up supervising the bake sale at your kid’s school, call the police. They’re not qualified.”
Tucker’s takedown of Stelter came after he also demolished Al Gore, saying “Always angry, always shouting. Fatter, but still grumpy. They’re climate refugees now. They’re climate refugees, millions of them. They’re not economic migrants fleeing the squalor of Tegucigalpa for the generous social services of El Paso. No, they’re not. They’re climate refugees who have no choice but to risk their lives with coyotes because you drive a full-size Silverado. Illegal immigration is your fault, middle America. It’s not our fault. We’ve got nothing to do with it. We just run the world.”
