During an appearance on Fox News Monday night, former CNN host Piers Morgan offered a stunning rebuke to the media, calling out them out for being “in the tank of Hillary Clinton” during the 2016 campaign and openly hostile to President Trump after “their candidate didn’t win.” He then demanded that press show the commander-in-chief “more respect.”

Morgan, a self-avowed liberal, declared: “...Donald Trump's main beef with the media, which is that it’s a two-way street, this question of respect and honesty. And he has felt for quite some time, I think, that a lot of people in the mainstream media, for want of a better phrase, are absolutely determined to bring him down. And I think he’s got a point, I think some of them absolutely are.”
