Chris Matthews: Media Is ‘Killing’ Trump Every Day

‘The New York Times does enterprise pieces four or five a day against him’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MATTHEWS: "Well, a big part of it’s the media. I mean, the media heralded the arrival of Jack Kennedy, who by nothing, frankly, 100,000 votes. But yet, he came in, to the point where people say, “I voted for him.” Everybody said they voted. They didn’t vote — This president’s got huge gale force winds against him. He comes in with the media killing him every day. The New York Times does enterprise pieces four or five a day against him. Clearly, it’s not a popular thing to say you voted for Trump. In fact, every time I look at a poll, I go, “Wait a minute, more people voted for him than admit they voted for him.” And that’s what’s going on. And before the election, that was true. I think it’s about attitude. I think last night, by not going to the press dinner and going to Harrisburg, he expressed his defiance of us. And it goes over very well."
