CNN host Brian Stelter got roasted on Twitter after he quoted president Jeff Zucker's claim that it's not CNN journalists' job to 'investigate'.

"CNN prez Jeff Zucker: "We are not investigators. We are journalists, and our role is to report the facts as we know them, which is exactly what we did," tweeted Stelter in response to the heat CNN and other mainstream media outlets have been receiving for their role in pushing the Russian collusion hoax.

Stelter's tweet got 'ratioed' – with over 15,000 responses compared to just 1,100 retweets, with many pointing out that the job of journalists is literally to investigate things.
