President Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out at the mainstream media and big tech firms for blocking the alleged corruption cases against his opponent Democratic challenger Joe Biden, PTI reported.

“Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now,” Trump told reporters at the White House before leaving for the day on a campaign trail, PTI reported.

The President said it was a “sad time” and would “go down as a very sad era for the media and certainly for big tech (companies).”

“I think what is going on with all of those companies — I think they’ve hurt themselves very badly because they’ve been so restrictive. And, you know, when they don’t want to show corruption like you have with Biden — that’s totally corruption and everybody knows it — and they’re trying to protect because he can make them wealthier, whereas they understand me,” Trump said.

“They understand where I’m coming from. It’s very unfair. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. It’s not freedom of the press, I mean, it’s the opposite. And, of course, the media is in the same bag,” said the President.

Although Trump often lashes out at the mainstream media, terming it as ‘Fake News’, social media giants were recently accused of censoring a New York Post story on alleged corruption by Biden over his son, Hunter Biden’s dealings in Ukraine.

At a separate election rally in the battleground state of Wisconsin, Trump’s elder son Donald J Trump Jr alleged that the media and the big tech companies are now campaigning on behalf of Biden and the Democratic Party.

The mainstream media, today is indulging in censorship, he said, alleging that they are not letting any negative news against Biden and his family getting out.

“Your First Amendment is on the table,” Trump Jr said. 

They will do everything they can to silence you, he alleged.

“It is a point of no return,” he said, accusing social media of backing Democrats.
