Sean Hannity hit back hard at mainstream media descriptions of President Trump’s Thursday press conference on Fox News later that night.
WATCH:
Hannity began his monologue by summarizing the state of the modern American press. “The abusively biased left-wing press is doing you, the American people, such a great disservice by not telling you the truth, by having an agenda, and, in turn, they have created what I called last night, ‘a massive informational crisis,’” he said.
To Hannity, Thursday’s combative press conference, widely criticized in left-leaning and mainstream news outlets, was a counter-blow to this “informational crisis.” “President Trump is now fighting back, and in a big way, by calling out the press directly, and also setting the record straight,” he explained.
After taking viewers through a blow-by-blow of Trump’s firework-filled encounter with reporters, Hannity told them, “All I can say is ‘wow.’ What we say today was a historic beatdown of the alt-left propaganda media, and they had it coming.”
“It’s very refreshing to see a commander in chief who will fight back against all the dishonesty, all the smears, set the record straight with you, the American people.”
