Trump on the Media: It Would Be So Great for Our Country if They in Fact Were Straight and Honest

TRUMP: "On every front, the extreme leftists, who control so much of the media, which is I can’t say totally corrupt but I’ll say almost totally corrupt, and you see it now more than you’ve ever seen it — and you know, I see it better than you because I’m involved. In other words, we call up and we say, 'That story is wrong, would you please make a correction?' And they say no. 'See, but the story is wrong.' They say, 'We don’t care.' They don’t care. These people are really corrupt and dishonest. Okay? And it’s a shame. And we have some great journalists, we have some great people, but the level of the media corruptness — and you know, it would be so great for a country if they, in fact, were straight and honest, but they’re really not and nobody can — I can’t tell you how bad it is."
