Conservative radio host Charlie Sykes, a known anti-Trumper, believes that the media may be falling into a trap of only talking to themselves and not reaching others.

He spoke to Mediaite reporter Alex Griffing where he said that there “troubling indications” that corporate media has surrendered to President Donald Trump.

“I don’t want to be pedantic about it, but I mean, you know, the question these days is what exactly is the media? What are we talking about here? Because there are so many different outlets here. And I think that one of the things that Trump did, has done over the last decade is to break the media, or at least the media as we understood it. He’s gone around the media. He’s created his alternative media outlets. I think to a certain extent, he feels that he is immune from accountability from what we used to think of as the, as, you know, the guardians of truth. The reality is, is that Donald Trump has flooded the zone. His first hundred days have been one of shock and awe,” the anti-Trumper said.

“I will say that it’s sort of easy, I think, to dump on legacy media, but some of the best reporting that we’ve had on the first hundred days, the ups and the downs, has come from outlets like the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, whatever the challenge is. They might face an ownership and the editorial pages. The news departments have still done a good job, I think, of asking the tough questions, but overall, the media landscape has been so broken up and so shattered,” Sykes continued.

“And, and we can’t talk about the media. I’m sorry to go on here Alex, but we can’t talk about the media in the first hundred days without talking about the premature capitulation by some of the biggest entities. I mean, I think that one of the most consequential and threatening surrenders that took place relatively early was Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post, ABC’s settlement of a completely bogus lawsuit by Donald Trump, I think was a harbinger of things to come. And still hanging over all of this is what’s gonna happen with CBS when you have the executive producer of 60 Minutes resigning,” the radio host said.

“So I do think that there are these troubling indications, indicators there that at the very moment when the press is under siege and when academic freedom is under siege, when a free press is under siege. To have so many surrenders from corporate media has been very, very disturbing,” he added.
