The nation’s leading conservative media watchdog, charging that there are enough Trump bashers in the press to fill the Boston Marathon, has issued a list of the “Top 10 Who Hates Trump The Most.”
Leading the new book from L. Brent Bozell III, Unmasked: Big Media’s War Against Trump, is CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta, who is set to release his own book attacking President Trump’s press relations in, “The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America.”
Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, who wrote the book with Tim Graham, executive editor of MRC’s NewsBusters, ripped the media and gave examples of the types of “fake news” and personal attacks Trump has cited since running for and winning the presidency.
For example he cited NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd saying, “On the one hand, he’s a late-night joke. On the other, he’s the proverbial skunk at the garden party.” He also included TV hosts of talk and comedy, and featured HBO host Bill Maher’s tweet hate aimed at Trump’s sons Donald Jr. and Eric when he wrote, “Trump’s sons look like the date rapist in every after-school special ever.”
His top 10 list, he wrote in the book released today, “is subjective, of course, but reflects what we believe and what our colleagues have suggested are those whose minds go into spontaneous combustion mode at the mere thought of Donald Trump as their commander in chief.”
The List
1 – Jim Acosta, CNN, who’s press pass was revoked after a clash during a press conference. “Jim Acosta is our winner. We suspect Acosta would protest if he wasn’t,” Bozell wrote.
2 – MSNBC “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Bozell said, “They are the perfect launch pad for MSNBC’s daily left-wing character assassination campaign agsint the president, smug in their hypocrisy.”
3 – ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “George has never stopped toiling in the public relations fields for the Clintons,” Bozell said of the former Clinton White House communications aide.
4 – Late night talk show hosts Maher, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert. “They represent an industry that despises Trump,” wrote Bozell.
5 – CNN’s Chris Cuomo. “Can the son of our ultraliberal New York governor and the brother of another one be taken seriously as a nonpartisan journalist,” said the book.
6 – MSNBC’s Chris Matthews. “No one can quite capture the careening swings of liberal excess on cable TV quite like Matthews,” said the book.
7 – Philip Rucker, Washington Post. “His front page ‘news’ reports regularly read like editorials,” wrote Bozell.
8 – Jorge Ramos, Univision. “He openly campaigned against Trump in 2016. Typical of this was a column for Time magazine headlined ‘Judgement Day is coming for those who stay silent on Donald Trump,” said Bozell.
9 – Brian Stelter, host of CNN’s “Reliable Sources.” “It’s a weekly red alert to warn CNN’s viewers that Trump is a dictator who wants to shut down the free press on the road to perdition,” wrote Bozell.
10 – Brian Williams, MSNBC. “His anti-Trump shtick has included the suggestion that the president hates dogs, because, well, because he used dog metaphors to describe his critics,” said Bozell.
