Sen. Rubio slams networks not carrying Trump remarks: It's what 'state-run media' of authoritarian regimes do
Fox News
On Wednesday's installment of "Hannity," Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., took aim at the liberal networks that chose not to air former President Trump's victory speech in Iowa.
"It's not about bias anymore. There's always been liberal bias in the media. Human beings are biased. They're partisan," Rubio told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "They are now extending that to not just attack Trump as a candidate, as a former president, future president, but also to attack the people who follow [him]." Joseph A.

"What's really changed is not just a partisan tone of the coverage, but now this effort to say 'We're not gonna carry a speech, we're not gonna let you hear what he has to say. We will interpret it, and we'll put up the snippets we want you to hear, but we've made the decision to no longer carry it," Rubio later continued. "This is exactly how state-run media is used by authoritarian governments to delegitimize, to discredit to basically make people believe that there is no alternative but to the regime and to their rule."
