My opinion, having done this now for two cycles, is I think the national media really likes me and likes what I have to say. But, at the end of the day, 'He's a Libertarian,' and that denotes some loose screws, maybe.
President Obama was not friendly to the press, but the press was very friendly to President Obama.
I know that there are going to be people that don't like my music, but I think in the industry itself it is always that, 'Oh. you're from the 'X Factor.' There have been certain radio stations that will not play your song because you are from the 'X Factor,' yet they'll play another song from an artist from another TV show.
You know the press and the TV. There are those who are favourites and those who are not. I was one of the latter.
The problem is that, you know, the corporate press loves [Donald Trump].
I don't want to consider myself a TV5 favorite, but it's a blessing that I have more shows than the others.
The media coverage for Donald Trump has been almost cheerleading over the last couple weeks. And I'm convinced it's because many in the press want him to be the nominee.
I obviously can't read, watch and listen to everything. But of the media members I follow, all are pro-LeBron - most of them passionately so - and most are extremely slow to criticize him and quick to give him a pass.
Donald Trump refused to outline a health care plan. And they just kind of moved on, instead of pressing him on it. He gave a ridiculous answer on the national debt. And they moved on without pressing him on it. No other candidate could have gotten away with that. So, I think there's a weird bias here in the media rooting for Donald Trump, because they know he's the easiest Republican to beat.
It's worse now because before I had 16 Republican, conservative people and the media had their favorite but they didn't particularly love anybody. Now it's myself really against the media.
I don't ban bloggers from my shows. I have a separate line: VIP seating for bloggers.
The journalists are so devoted to Obama. They are such sycophants that they're worried about access.
British media supported Hillary. No problem with that. No interference. Nothing. French media supported Hillary. No problem with that. Some Russian media supported Trump: 'Oh my God!'
Iniesta doesn't dye his hair, he doesn't wear earrings and he hasn't got any tattoos. Maybe that makes him unattractive to the media but he is the best.
The only thing growing faster than the federal government's deficit is Chris Matthews' man-crush on Barack Obama.
The system happens to be Washington and the way politics works, because whatever it is, it isn't working. It defies common sense. And part and parcel of this, right in the middle of it is the media and their lying and their distorting and their favoritism and their efforts to impugn and destroy people like us who want to stop this mess that's been progressing in a deteriorating way for way too many years.
Early on, even before he was the front-runner, TV news was giving Trump far more attention than other candidates and far more than he deserved.
You watch these phony networks, and dishonest networks, who are 100 percent about Hillary Clinton. She's got nothing going. The only thing she's got going is the media.
Obama had the media; Obama had the judiciary; Obama had all kinds of support. At an Obama press conference, typical question, "What enchants you?" I mean, Obama was never challenged seriously by the media.
The Japanese press likes me a lot, but the problem is the Japanese government. It's very bureaucratic.
