Americans have woken up to the fact that the MSM is a propaganda machine and that they lie continuously just like their puppetmasters. Grownups won’t pay attention to them; just the babies.
I think he’s hit upon the real bite on the media per se. The ONE thing EVERYONE frigging one of them has in common is self perceived superiority (of the Press - e.g., “I’m with ABCCBSNBCCNNFOX blah, blah blah”).
The very fact of the potential to deny them credentials - access to his campaign and that backstabbing exclusive - they are forced to participate like all the other undesirables on that line (I’ll call it the Studio 54 losers’ line). It grates at them. In the end, they will end up giving him a half billion $ if free coverage trying to sate their f@cking egos.
