Greg Gutfeld Calls Out Media Blind Spots and Bias

Greg Gutfeld opened his segment with his signature satirical humor, joking about reporting “stupidity” to the authorities. He then directed his critique at CNN, particularly Pamela Brown, for not knowing who Sam Brinton was—a figure who had made headlines due to multiple luggage theft scandals.

Gutfeld pointed out that his audience was well aware of Brinton, a nonbinary former official in the Biden administration who worked in nuclear waste disposal. Brinton had been caught on multiple occasions stealing women’s suitcases from airports, leading to his eventual firing. Gutfeld mocked the absurdity of such a person being hired for a role involving national security, highlighting the incompetence and identity-focused hiring practices of the administration.

To emphasize media bias, Gutfeld showed a clip where Pamela Brown admitted she was unfamiliar with Brinton’s scandals. He ridiculed CNN for ignoring major stories while promoting misleading narratives that align with their political agenda. He sarcastically suggested that CNN’s new motto should be “transparency,” joking that even their most seasoned anchors seemed unaware of widely covered events.

Gutfeld’s panel joined in, further scrutinizing how the mainstream media selectively covers stories. One panelist noted how media outlets had once obsessed over Russian election interference or fabricated scandals but conveniently overlooked a bizarre case involving a cross-dressing kleptomaniac in a sensitive government position. They argued that CNN’s ignorance wasn’t just incompetence—it was intentional.

Bringing humor into the discussion, Gutfeld quipped about Brinton’s mustache and dress, questioning how someone so visibly eccentric could be entrusted with national secrets. He mocked the fear corporate employees face in today’s workplace—suggesting that HR departments prioritize inclusivity to the point where questioning someone’s mental fitness for a serious job could result in disciplinary action.

The conversation shifted to how identity politics often take precedence over merit in hiring decisions. Gutfeld and his co-hosts compared Brinton’s hiring to Disney’s alleged “woke” strategy in entertainment, where prioritizing diversity over quality led to backlash. They sarcastically suggested that hiring someone like Brinton was less about qualifications and more about protecting the administration from criticism.

The discussion also touched on CNN’s tendency to overlook or downplay stories that contradict their narrative. One guest commented that CNN prides itself on being a “fact-checking” organization while simultaneously ignoring major stories that don’t fit their ideological agenda. Gutfeld reinforced this by joking that CNN’s viewership is declining because the audience can see through their selective reporting.

Towards the end of the segment, Gutfeld’s humor became even sharper, as he compared CNN’s lack of awareness to having an extremely short memory—something he jokingly admitted he was jealous of, given how difficult it was for him to forget Brinton’s bizarre scandals.

Wrapping up, Gutfeld took another jab at how certain media personalities handle transparency, advising journalists to simply nod and say “exactly” when they don’t know something, rather than admitting ignorance on live television.

Through his signature mix of humor and critique, Gutfeld used Brinton’s case as a broader example of media bias, identity politics, and misplaced priorities in the current political climate.
