Disney Hocus Pocus Star Bette Midler was furious over the major news networks’ live coverage of former President Donald Trump’s press conference on Thursday, scolding the “corrupt” networks and accusing them of secretly trying to help Trump win the election in order to boost their own ratings.
The major broadcast networks ABC, CBS and NBC each aired at least parts of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago press conference, while PBS NewsHour streamed it live and CNN also aired portions of it.
They should all be ashamed, according to Divine Miss M, who expressed anger and paranoia in a post by X. Midler echoed the comments of MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, who harshly criticized rivals for giving airtime to Trump on her show on Thursday.
“They want him to win so they can keep making money,” Midler wrote, adding, “Let’s keep blaming the truly corrupt media.”
These are not mistakes. This is policy. They actually want him to win so they can keep making money. We will not be fooled this time. Let’s continue to blame the truly corrupt media. #CorruptMSM https://t.co/gcYYQmn0SK

Left-wing Hollywood celebrities have a history of supporting communist-style censorship if it benefits the Democratic Party.
Bette Midler was one of the many stars who applauded when then-Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey banned then-President Donald Trump in 2021. Since then, Elon Musk has bought Twitter (now TwitterX) and reinstated Trump on the platform.
