Samantha Bee Unloads on ‘Unlovable Loser’ Trump’s Fox News Falling-Out
“Welcome to Full Frontal, I’m basic cable John Oliver,” Samantha Bee said at the top of her TBS show Wednesday night. And like her former Daily Show colleague, she went deep on President Donald Trump’s war against the free press.
After playing a montage of journalists getting attacked by police during recent protests, Bee declared, “This is not normal. Journalists shouldn’t have to deal with being threatened by the police.”
“Fortunately, the president saw these injustices and responded quickly to defend the First Amendment,” she joked before reading one of Trump’s most recent Twitter attacks on the “FAKE NEWS” media. “Look, I know it’s not exactly a revelation that the president is always trying to undermine the media, but that’s the problem. We’re all so used to it that we act like it’s normal, and the more we ignore anti-press sentiment in America, the more it will spread.”
