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.
Says the metrosexual token “conservative” on MSNBC
Joe & Mika McCarthy are way past hostile.
Poor Hillary.
Remember when she paid those thugs to shove a bayonet up Qadaffi’s behind?
And then laughed about it.
On tv.
I feel so sorry for Hillary because she’s a lying, thieving, bullying, cheating dirty little snot who let Americans die in Benghazi by trying to cover up her crimes in Libya.
I’m sure on some planet your logic is impressive, but your weak link is: This is Earth.
LOL LOL OMG thanks so much for the laughs murdering Joe..thanks for the laughs I needed that..yeah the media was “Hostile” towards Hillary Clinton..tell me HOW exactly Joe..by giving her the debate answers in advance or kissing her ass whenever they mentioned her name
I must have missed when reporters grilled Hillary about the uranium deal and Benghazi and the missing $6 billion dollars and Seth Rich and her secret server and ...........
What did Joe’s skanky hoe have to say? She really is as dumb as a rock; she mainly makes faces and throws out teenage girl snippy insults.
LOL, most excellent.
Yes, the media was so hostile that they provided her the questions for the debates and accepted her suggestions for late night TV discussions. Yeah, very hostile...... Achoobullshit...
Is he really this stupid?
I’d love to walk behind Joe on the streets of Milton, FL these days. He would get his backside kicked in the first block.
Obviously, you were not watching closely enough. There may have been a couple of softball questions to address these concerns, but in the usual deft manner, Herself swatted them aside and immediately changed the subject, a tactic for which Herself was never called to account.
Never. Not one time.
At this point, what does it matter?
Making statements under oath is for chumps.
hahahaha.
Mika is the one on top.
.
Mika is the one that looks like an underfed ghetto whore, and talks like a pampered teen short bus rider.
.
Media wants Hillary to go away so she doesn't F#$%& screw up Democrats chances in 2018 & 2020!!!
That’s maybe the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen this week which is saying quite a lot.
