Disney Star Bette Midler Says ‘Corrupt’ News Media Secretly Helping Trump Win by Airing Mar-a-Lago Press Conference
Breitbart ^ | 08/09/2024 | David Ng

Posted on 08/09/2024 12:04:15 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Disney’s Hocus Pocus star Bette Midler is enraged that the major news networks carried former President Donald Trump’s live press conference on Thursday, scolding the “corrupt” networks while also accusing them of surreptitiously trying to help Trump win the election in order to boost their own ratings.

The major broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — each aired at least part of Trump’s presser at Mar-a-Lago. The PBS Newshour provided a livestream while CNN also aired parts of it.

They should all be ashamed of themselves, according to the Divine Miss M, who expressed her rage and paranoia in an X post. Midler was echoing MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, who used his show on Thursday to castigate his competition for giving Trump airtime.

“They actually want him to win so they can keep making money,” Midler wrote, later adding, “Keep calling out the truly corrupt media.”

These are not mistakes. This is policy. They actually want him to win so they can keep making money. We’re not falling for it this time. Keep calling out the truly corrupt media. #corruptMSM https://t.co/gcYYQmn0SK

Lefties are supremely selfish. Bette Midler demanding that those she disagrees with be silenced is really no different than if you tried to get between her and the last cream puff on a dessert tray. In either case, she’s going to shove you aside to get what she wants. They’re like bratty children.

She’s an idiot that had the chutzpah to express her Woke views on a Sinatra music channel.

If the cackler steals it, Hamas will run amuck and carve up this fat broad like a pumpkin at Halloween.

Be careful what you wish for, crazy Bette!

I only got to hear clips. I guess Trump really hit it out of the park.

So is Bette going to push the media to do a similar press conference for Harris? I’d love that as long as we have a guarantee she doesn’t get the questions ahead of time by certain reporters she is told to call on (like Biden and the enemymedia did).

You are correct! Those news programs that you mentioned need to be boy-cotted! Take the lead Bette!

What does she expect when their MSM heros, Kammie and the Commie won’t talk to them? They are looking for something to talk about.

Trump delivers.

The Democrats and their MSM donate in-kind contributions to ensure their candidates win. When it comes to Trump, they want ZERO coverage.
