CNN’s Brian Stelter said Saturday that journalists “hold each other to high standards” of accuracy while the Trump White House has a “very low standard.”

Stelter, referring to a recently published book on the Trump White House by Michael Wolff, said, “I think if people have doubts about the book, they should go out and read it for themselves, and that includes the White House aides that have tried to demean the book and call it all fiction. Journalists do and should hold each other to high standards, and that’s why there’s disappointment about the errors that are in the text, but the book itself does hold up. And when you hear the White House trying to trash the book, we have to remember what a low standard they have for credibility and accuracy.” (RELATED: CNN’s Brian Stelter: ‘Sarah Sanders Has A Point’ About John Boehner Story From Book [VIDEO])

He continued, “This is a White House that gets the facts wrong on an almost daily basis. President Trump made several false claims just in his Camp David event a couple hours ago. So, they’ve got a very low standard, even though we have to maintain high standards, and I think that’s the bottom line with this book.” (RELATED: CNN’s Brian Stelter: Trump Tweet About UCLA Players ‘Sure Looks Like Race Baiting’ [VIDEO])
