Gutfeld: Coronavirus exposes media’s ‘dark desire’ for catastrophe under Trump, will finally get to say, ‘I told you so’
February 28, 2020 | Tom Tillison
Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld ripped the broadcast media for wielding the coronavirus as a weapon to criticize President Trump, noting the “media’s dark desires for something bad to happen so that all of their previous Trump hatred is validated.â€
The co-host of “The Five†played a montage of talking heads politicizing the virus to go after Trump, throwing in a tweet from CNN’s “ball of hysteria,†Brian Stelter, who warns that the fears “experts†have about the president “may†be coming true.
“Relying on the word all CNN false fantasies bank on: ‘may,†Gutfeld noted. “Every story that collapses hinges on may — Trump may resign. Trump may not leave office. [Michael] Avanatti may run for president, Brian.â€
“It’s a word that provides cover for the press’ delusional dream,†he continued. “And today, that dream is a disease. This time, people will surely die, but it will be Trump’s fault. And then finally, I will be right and Jeff Zucker will give me a lollipop. It’s a diabolic deal, welcoming a grim hell just to say ‘I told you so.'â€
