This morning, Steve Malzberg spoke to Boris Epshteyn, chief political analyst for Sinclair media, on the topic of North Korea, and the media’s overblown reaction to the crisis.
Take a listen:
When the administration signaled that it’s open to conversations with North Korea, the media went nuts and said ‘Well how dare you?’ And now when the President is expressing the fact that he’s not going to back down, they’re feigning the same sort of surprise and shock. The President could walk across the street at a green light and they would say he was jaywalking, the left wing media would. Their reaction is not a surprise, I think their reaction, the left wing media’s reaction, is a detriment to American policy because it makes it seem as though the United States, the American people are not united behind the President, and in fact on these foreign policy issues the President has a ton of support, but you wouldn’t know it when you’re watching some of the left wing Fake News.
