Brian Stelter was asked a question by a college student from Illinois during a forum. The student then asked Tucker Carlson (Fox News’ Tucker Carlson) about the viral back and forth.
Christopher Phillips, a University of Chicago student, had previously asked the pundit questions regarding his seemingly long criticism of Fox News. He claimed that CNN had misinformed about Nicholas Sandmann (both “Mighty Ducks”, and “Empire”) and the Trump-Russia probe.

He recounted how he came to the disinformation-themed forum and encountered several “legacy media employees” who he said have spent their entire careers spreading what they are accusing other outlets and politicians of spreading.

Stelter nervously said, “It’s lunchtime!
