Beck: Media Hypocritical for Hyping Trump Transition Chaos But Ignoring Dems in Disarray

Glenn Beck may have been sounding the alarms this week about a problematic part of the Trump transition, but he thinks the media is showing clear bias in its overall coverage in the past few days.

Even casual news consumers know there have been lots of reports of internal chaos in the Trump transition team. Words like “knife fight” and “purge” have been tossed around.

And Beck, who also had a bone to pick with the media’s lacking coverage of potential new DNC chair Keith Ellison, said today, “Donald Trump did not beat Hillary Clinton, he beat the press. He was running against the press.”

He thinks the media has been derelict in its duty to cover the “horrible disarray” on the Democratic side or attempt any serious examination of why Hillary Clinton––”the worst candidate of all time”––lost the election.

Beck argued that compared to past transition teams, Trump is actually doing pretty well, but that’s not what the media’s saying.

He asked the press, “Why don’t you talk at all about the disarray the Democrats are in?”
