"He is allegedly our top media reporter, yet he failed to report on the scoop that everyone in the office knew. And if he wants to say he didn't know, he is truly terrible at his job."
"He's been Jeff Zucker's water boy for years and no one believes he didn't know about all of this," continued the source.
The source then talked briefly about what he considers to be Stelter's hypocrisy:
"He's been sitting on his moral high horse doing Jeff's bidding and ripping Fox and every other media outlet that Jeff tells him to while his ratings crash and burn. Where was he on the biggest story at his own network after chastising everyone else?"
