Fox’s Greg Gutfeld told fellow panelist former Democrat, Harold Ford Jr., Friday evening that President Donald Trump and conservatives should remind legacy media of their mistakes.
Since Trump’s first administration, legacy media has produced more than 90% negative coverage in Trump’s first 100 days, with CNN and NBC still maintaining anti-Trump bias in coverage, according to a 2017 Harvard University survey. While discussing Trump’s recent remarks at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Ford told the panel that after admitting a legal attack on Trump from the previous administration’s DOJ, he hoped the president would “not make it that very personal.”
“I’m so tired of what Harold said,” Gutfeld teased. “You know, this is not about winning, Harold. As we know, history is always being rewritten by the losers.”
“If you think the media is fake, what do you think about people? Where do you think the historians come from? They came from the media, so we have to do it. No one is going to do this. He has to do it, Gutfeld said.
During his first administration, Trump called legacy media such as CNN, MSNBC and Fox News “fake news” from his reports. Within his first 100 days as president in 2017, according to a Harvard University survey, CNN and NBC gave Trump a 93% negative compensation, while CBS gave him 91% negative compensation.

In his third campaign, Trump was charged with more than 80 criminal charges and three separate charges in 2024 by former President Joe Biden’s DOJ, repeatedly calling charges against him. In his speech to DOJ Friday in his second administration, Trump defendant Biden attempted to turn the agency into a “municipality of fraud,” declaring, “those days are over and they will never come back.”
“What you haven’t heard right now. What is that silence? It’s all the people in the media who tried to take him out. They’re not saying, “Oh, we were wrong. Ah, oh oh daddy. Biden has dementia!” They’re not doing that. Gatfeld added. “They disappeared. They left.”
“Why isn’t this an age-f story? It’s an inspirational lesson for everyone who felt targeted in life, and I felt called out and surpassed the numbers. If this were Democrats, there would already be 12 films made about this guy, the most consequential political victory in American history,” Gutfeld said.
Gatfeld continues, both Hollywood and Legacy Media have said they are “home in their pyjamas.” [and] Crying over Trump’s callout. The Fox host added that not only did they need to repeatedly call up the media’s president’s report, but that if there was “justice,” they could “parade all the hacks on television.”
“They literally, literally, I don’t mean philosophically, they have to eat their words. We actually do their words verbatim. We bake cookies, write their words on the cookies, then they have to sit down. Not even a pay-per-view. It’s free. We just make them eat words and words,” Gutfeld said.
