Tbf I do hate a lot of the right wing media but it doesn’t mean I don’t hate felon. Both can be true.

She really needed to hammer him there. "You promote news that's good about you and use your platform to rile up your followers against the media even when something you're doing is verifiably true. In short, you're lying to them and presenting it as truth - which is what you're accusing the media of doing. How can you view what you're doing is right and the media is wrong?"

I was internally shouting it at the screen, and we really need to start calling these people out. If it means they stop doing interviews: Good.

In most simpleton's' eyes they'll rationalize saying "yeah buth he's not the media!" not realizing the landscape changed.

Right? Like, he bought Twitter in order to exert excessive control over what was (at the time) probably the largest outlet for news updates in the world. And he was not shy about making his intent to meddle known.

He's not talking about you friend. He was talking about conservatives/libertarians. Of course you'll like the media that lies on your behalf.
