Media bias is more prevalent than ever in the Trump era, says former White House aide and veteran political analyst Karl Rove.

"There are very real concerns that these media firms, which are dominated by people who are from the center-left, and some of them very far left, consciously censor conservative content and are hostile to conservative voices," Rove said during an appearance on Fox News’ "America's Newsroom."

"What we've got here is a consistent hostility to the center-right. It's not just the president."

Trump, who has dominated media coverage since taking office, has called journalists and news outlets “fake news,” citing unfair treatment. The president has also taken aim at several tech giants for flagging tweets with warning labels about misinformation concerning the Hunter Biden story and the 2020 presidential election.

"There is potentially bias there," Rove told Fox, adding that media bias in the Trump era is "more extreme than it has ever been in our lifetimes.”

"The animosity, the hostility towards the president and his party are enormous, and not only just at the president and his party, but at the voters who supported him," Rove said.
