Trump trashes 'hack' Andy Lack following NBC ousting, hits other networks
Fox News ^ | May 07 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

President Trump sounded off on the ousting of NBC News chairman Andy Lack and other members of the media while taking questions from the Oval Office on Thursday.

When asked by a reporter how much influence Fox News has over his thinking of the coronavirus pandemic, Trump responded by saying it's "no different" than other media outlets, referring to himself as "well-versed."

However, the president quickly took aim at several other networks.

"Some are fake. If you look at CNN, it's fake news. If you look at MSDNC -- I call it MSDNC, you know what that means, right? Democratic National Committee," Trump said. "If you look at NBC, NBC to me is very dishonest news. That's why they fired Andy Lack, I guess. You'll have to ask them, but Andy Lack was a hack and they fired him and they did a big favor to the world and to this country. No, I find NBC to be dishonest, I find -- which is a Comcast division. I call it Con-cast with an 'n,' I don't use the 'm' I always call it 'Concast.'"

Yeah, sure. CBS takes its accuracy very seriously. Remember “Fake but accurate”?

Trump knows the media is more corrupt than the Democrat party.

Everyone needs to pile on the corrupt media now. The Covid scare was their latest attempt to overthrow Trump. It’s so obvious.

The only way to take down the corrupt media to sue them. It’s time for major legal action against this corrupt destroyer of American freedoms.

He actually said everything in this article a few weeks ago during a Coronavirus briefing in response to a hostile question.

The media is one and the same as the demonrat party, just the propaganda arm of it.

“Everyone needs to pile on the corrupt media now.”

I think Kayleigh may have started the ball rolling when she ended her last press briefing — just before she closed her notebook and walked off the stage.

You’d think the media, of all people, would know that everything they’ve said for the last 20 years is on audio and/or video. Every attack, and every contradiction, is there for all to see.

That sort of thing is part of Trump’s “persuasion stack”, if you’ve ever read some of Scott Adam’s analysis of the reasons for Trump’s success.
