Scarborough pushes back on Trump: Media 'pretty damn hostile' to Clinton

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Friday rebuffed President Trump’s claim that the media was “biased” toward Hillary Clinton

, saying he believes it actually “was pretty damn hostile” to the former secretary of State during last year’s campaign.

Scarborough’s comments on “Morning Joe” came after Trump tweeted on Friday morning that "biased and dishonest Media coverage" tilted in favor of his Democratic opponent.

"I think the fake news media was pretty damn hostile toward Hillary Clinton throughout most of the campaign," Scarborough said.

”So that's just — that's just fake news, Donald. Just fake news," he added.

"Morning Joe" panelist and USA Today columnist Heidi Przybyla agreed, pointing out that one of Trump’s most-derided media sources dealt one of the biggest blow’s to Clinton’s campaign.

It was “The New York Times that broke the [email] server story," Przybyla said. "She'll never forgive them."

"Constant, constant pounding, they hammered on it," added Scarborough. "And Hillary Clinton supporters can tell you how many stories were done on this."

Przybyla said Wikileaks email dumps from Clinton’s campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee also showed that the media was hostile toward Clinton.

"I'm sorry. I remember that distinctively because the media took every morsel," she said. "And it was doled out, day after day, in small amounts purposely. And every day there was a new hunt to find what in there they could possibly write about, regardless of news value.

“And at the end of the day, what we got was ... a risotto recipe," concluded Scarborough, referring to a leaked email from John Podesta. "I think that was the most significant thing that came out of WikiLeaks."

A Suffolk University/USA Today poll released one week before the 2016 election showed that just 7.9 percent of 1,000 registered likely voters polled believed the media was rooting for Donald Trump to win, while 75.9 percent answered Clinton.

Sixteen percent of respondents were undecided.

A finally tally by The Hill on Nov. 9 showed that among the top 100 largest newspapers in country, only two had endorsed Trump.

Hillary's tendency for gratuitous lying is rubbing off on Joe and affecting his memory. Here's a gentle reminder: MSNBC Morning Joe is Furious at Himself and the Media. He already admitted the news utterly blew it by taking sides and being cheerleaders.

She had a illegal server and jeopardized national security. The news did everything they could to downplay the severity of what she did on a story they had to cover and could not bury on the back pages. That's not "pretty damn hostile” that's telling the truth, which is what the news media hates.
