It was a clash of the titans in the Sweet 16 of the third annual "Liberal Hack Tournament."

The NCAA-style contest presented by the "Ruthless" podcast is narrowing down the field of truly talented and driven "hack" hopefuls. Every battle is as fierce as the next.

Stelter, the No.1 seed and the first-ever winner of the "Liberal Hack Tournament" in 2020, has been a tour de force in this year's contest, never falling below 80% of the Twitter vote. He decimated his own colleague Don Lemon earning 81.2% of the vote. 

Nearly no one in the media has had a year quite like Stelter. As CNN's de facto spokesperson, he was sent out to defend the network the evolving Chris Cuomo saga, which included a humiliating appearance on "The Late Show" where he was grilled about CNN's ethics. And things only got more awkward when his boss Jeff Zucker was ousted after failing to disclose a consensual relationship with a deputy executive and aiding Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the early months of the pandemic. Critics were left with many questions, among them, "What did Stelter know and when did he know it?"
