WOR’s Mark Simone believes the mainstream media will eventually blame former President Donald Trump for the GOP’s lackluster performance during the midterm elections. 

On Wednesday, Simone discussed CNN and MSNBC’s coverage of the elections and the narrative is woven into each of those broadcasts that Trump hurt the image of every candidate he backed. 

“If you watch the coverage on CNN, MSNBC, or all the left-wing networks, the anchors tried to make it look like this election denial stuff was a big issue,” Simone said. “It really wasn’t to normal people. They don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.” 

Simone cited New York Gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin who was criticized by some local media pundits for denying the results of the 2020 presidential election. 

“There was a vote on certifying the election results for Trump and Zeldin voted not to certify that day. The biggest election denier is Hillary Clinton and they brought her in to campaign for Kathy Hochul.” 

On Wednesday, various media personalities reacted to the 2022 midterm election results, you can read more here.

Keith Olbermann: Funny How Newsmax CEO Changed His Tune About DirecTV After New Agreement

“Newsmax gave the channel for free to DirecTV and then one day Newsmax said to DirecTV ‘Look, instead of free, we’d like you to give us $13 million a year’. DirecTV said ‘Are you kidding? For that crap?'”

Earlier this week, conservative cable news channel Newsmax struck a deal with DirecTV to return the network to the satellite provider after a monthslong back and forth that see each company take shots at the other. Keith Olbermann couldn’t help but notice those shots have ceased.

“Greta Van Susteren called for a Congressional investigation. Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Mike Lee (R-UT) wrote a letter threatening dire consequences and insisted this was liberal censorship,” The Countdown with Keith Olbermann host said. “DirecTV dropped Newsmax and the whiny butthurt snowflake fascists like Cruz demanded, I don’t know? Firing squads?”

The former cable news host then said it was clear during the dispute that the problem was about business, not politics.

“We all told them no, it’s not censorship, Newsmax gave its channel for free to DirecTV and then one day Newsmax said to DirecTV ‘Look, instead of free, we’d like you to give us $13 million a year’. DirecTV said ‘Are you kidding? For that crap?’ Direct TV and Newsmax have now made a deal. Terms were not disclosed, but Newsmax will be back on the satellite provider.”

Olbermann then turned his attention to Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy’s change in messaging. Previously, Ruddy — like others Olbermann had mentioned — was adamant that the network was removed due to conservative censorship.

However, now that a deal between the two parties has been struck, he believes that DirecTV “clearly supports diverse voices, including conservative ones”.

Sean Hannity: Not Surprising Media Backtracking on Donald Trump Indictment Date Predictions

“The media is now kind of trying to hint that Donald Trump’s arrest announcement was a hoax.”

Late last week, former President Donald Trump claimed he would be arrested on Tuesday. That date came and went without any indication of when — or if — Trump would be indicted. Sean Hannity wasn’t surprised by the media coverage surrounding the story.

During The Sean Hannity Show Thursday, the host claimed the media has backtracked on its reporting, but added that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is more to blame than the media is.

“This is the funniest news aspect of the day regarding this is that you know, the media is now kind of trying to hint that Donald Trump’s arrest announcement was a hoax,” Hannity said. “Now we find out that Alvin Bragg is openly blaming Donald Trump for creating the false expectation that he would be indicted. Bragg’s direct accusation is a lot stronger than any media hinting about a Trump indictment.”

Hannity then took credit for what he viewed as a drop in the likelihood that Trump is indicted due to information released on his Fox News program.

“Now a lot of it is due to new information we got this week, some of which was broken on my television show, with my interview with Bob Costello. I think it’s devastating. A direct contradiction to a convict by the name of Michael Cohen. Admitted liar. Serial liar, you can even say, and you have this guy, Bob Costello, contradicting everything that Cohen is saying.

“Cohen is supposed to be the star witness in this case. You have a convicted felon admitted liar as your star witness. Good luck with that. Juries don’t like liars.”
