‘History Is Always Rewritten By The Losers’: Gutfeld Says Trump Must Remind Media Of Their Failed Takedown

Fox’s Greg Gutfeld told fellow panelist, former Democratic Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford Jr., on Friday evening that President Donald Trump and conservatives should remind legacy media of their faults.

Since Trump’s first administration, legacy media has maintained an anti-Trump bias in its coverage, with CNN and NBC producing more than 90% negative coverage of Trump’s first 100 days in office, according to a 2017 Harvard study. While discussing Trump’s recent remarks at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Ford told the panel he wished the president didn’t “make it so personal” after acknowledging the legal attacks against Trump from the former administration’s DOJ.

“I am so disgusted by what Harold said,” Gutfeld teased. “You know, this isn’t about winning, Harold. It’s about imprinting the memory of this event on history, because, as we know, history is always rewritten by the losers!”

“If you think media is fake, what do you think about the people? Where do you think the historians came from? They came from media. So we have to. No one else is going to do this. He has to do it. We have to do it,” Gutfeld said.

During his first administration, Trump called out legacy media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News as “fake news” due to their coverage of him. Within his first 100 days as president in 2017, a Harvard study said CNN and NBC gave Trump 93% negative coverage, while CBS gave him 91% negative coverage.
