“Fox News host Maria Bartiromo ― fresh from allowing President Donald Trump to spew election misinformation unchecked on her show at the weekend ― on Monday accused the media of taking a side. And folks on Twitter couldn’t believe the irony, given Bartiromo’s past sycophantic comments about the president. In an interview with the right-wing Daily Caller, Bartiromo claimed legacy media institutions such as The New York Times and CNN are now “just not news.” “They’ve taken a side,” she complained. “They are the mouthpieces for the Democrat Party and they are trying hard to affect elections. I mean, I think it is election interference.” .@MariaBartiromo explains how legacy media has failed during the Trump administration:\”They’ve taken a side, they are mouthpieces for the Democrat Party, and they are trying hard to affect elections.
