ESPN First Take host Stephen A. Smith lit up the legacy media like they were a Skip Bayless hot take for blatantly distorting former President Donald Trump’s “bloodbath” comment. 

During the March 18 edition of The Stephen A. Smith Show, Smith tackled not only media bias but also the absurd fact that he was labeled a Trump defender, just for telling the truth about the “bloodbath” remark. Smith gave his viewers a look at Trump’s full thoughts on protecting the American auto industry and suggested that the media could pay a price for obvious lies to the American public. 

“Trump is handing it to y'all,” Smith exclaimed, referring to Democrats. “I'm sitting here and pointing out to you that you're getting in your own way by trying to fabricate or embellish stories in such a fashion where you could easily get caught, exposed for your miscalculations or your flat-out lies and something that he is going to use this advantage to get reelected.”
