Trump channels Tucker: Degraded media have ‘changed forever’

Published



Quoting Fox News host Tucker Carlson, President Trump on Monday said “prestige media outlets” have fallen low, either becoming “extinct” or degrading themselves “beyond recognition.”

“’The American Media has changed forever. News organizations that seemed like a big deal are now extinct,’” Trump tweeted, quoting Carlson’s remarks from his show Monday evening. “’Those that remain have now degraded themselves beyond recognition, like the New Yorker – or they’ve been purchased by Jeff Bezos to conduct unregistered lobbying for……… ….Amazon, like the Washington Post. It’s hard to remember that not so long ago America had prestige media outlets, but not anymore.’ @TuckerCarlson.”
