ANDREW CRAFT (ANCHOR): Has the media availed themselves during this scandal, during these protests, or not?
DENNIS KNEALE (GUEST): I mean, the media ruled themselves out long ago as ever being a true objective witness or even attempting to be an objective witness to events and to instead take a point of view. Trump broke them. I left the media, the mainstream media, you know, a decade ago or more, and I don't recognize them today. And let's remember something, okay, if you don't want to have shootings involving ICE agents, how about you get the hell out of their way? Instead of being encouraged by public officials to interfere with them? I mean, as tragic as the shooting was of this US citizen, he was armed and he was charging at officers from what I read. And so why can't the media talk about it that way? Instead they're busy calling this Abrego Garcia, MS-13 affiliate guy, you know, "a Maryland dad." I mean, it's just awful. And it's only because they hate Trump so much. It's only because all of the people in the mainstream media have decided that they can curry favor and be more popular at cocktail parties by saying "Trump's bad. Everything Trump does is bad."
