BYRON ALLEN: Well, listen, you know, I think President Trump is completely wrong. You know, the media is-- you know, President Trump, what he's not understanding is that he's nothing more than temporary hired help. He works for the American people. He answers to us. We don't answer to him.

The media is there to keep the bosses informed, the American people. We are the boss. We run it. And so to criticize the media, the media doesn't have an incentive not to tell the truth and to be 110% transparent.

So he's wrong. And it's really-- you're in a bad place when someone's trying to control the narrative and tell you what they want you to know. Thank god we have the media, or else I think we might all be drinking Lysol right now. And we don't need to be drinking Lysol.
