President Trump’s senior adviser Kellyanne Conway on Sunday lamented the fact that reporters who have criticized Trump have not been fired for it. In an interview with Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” Conway went on a bizarre tirade about how Trump and his team were not being treated fairly by the press. “I went on three network shows and spoke for 35 minutes on three network Sunday shows. You know what got picked? The fact that I said ‘alternative facts,’ not the fact that I ripped a new one to some of those hosts that they never cover the facts that matter,” Conway said. “Not one network person has been let go. Not one silly political analyst and pundit who talked smack all day long about Donald Trump has been let go,” she said. “Who is cleaning house? Which one is going to be the first network to get rid of these people who said things that were just not true?” she asked. She went on to question why the press does not operate like a “real business.” “They failed, they embarrassed their shareholders and their board members and their colleagues,” she said, noting that if the “mainstream media” were doing things right “20 percent of the people would be gone.” “We turn the other cheek. If you’re part of Team Trump, you walk around with these gaping, seeping wounds every single day. And that’s fine. I believe in a full and fair press,” she said.
