Conservative talker Sean Hannity says "journalism in America is dead" with the media getting "pretty much everything" wrong about President Donald Trump.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Thursday, the Fox News host said Trump is "at his core incredibly, intuitively, extremely bright," while the media are "all overpaid" and "for the jobs that half these people do, they don't deserve anything."
"They don't get [Trump]. I've said it a lot: Journalism in America is dead. I think a lot of the reporting on Donald Trump has been totally, completely fabricated, dishonest," Hannity told the magazine.
"The media would like to create this caricature that he's a loose cannon. 'Oh my God, he's got the nuclear codes.' I've known him for decades, and Donald Trump is at his core incredibly, intuitively, extremely bright and a counter-puncher.
"He will never, ever, ever usually hit first. When he has been wronged, he's going to let you know he thinks he's been wronged. So what? We have become a nation of total babies."
