Fox’s Gutfeld: Yes, the Media Has Been Rigged… FOR Trump

by Josh Feldman | 5:46 pm, October 17th, 2016

Fox’s Greg Gutfeld said on today’s The Five that it’s a little ironic for Donald Trump to complain about the “rigged” media he benefitted from.

“True, the media is rigged,” he said, “but it was rigged for Trump all damn year. He got more free media than the weather, dwarfing not just his primary foes but Hillary as well. If it wasn’t for the media who fell over Trump every time he sneezed, we’d have a different candidate. So yeah, it was rigged, and that rigging gave us Trump.”

He said that Trump has taken the victimhood normally present on the left and ran with it as the “king of the cheated.”

Eric Bolling pushed back and said that a lot of that coverage was negative, but as far as Gutfeld’s concerned, the media made Trump, and “if you live by the media, you die by the media.”
