Donald Trump Jr. on Monday lashed out at NBC for its tweet Sunday night calling Oprah Winfrey "our next president," saying it further proves the media's bias against his father.

In case anyone had any doubts about where the media stands this should take care of it. The bias against @realDonaldTrump is now so obvious they have simply given up hiding it.

Can you trust anything they say at this point?

After Winfrey accepted a lifetime achievement award during the Golden Globes, broadcast on NBC, the network followed up with a support tweet that rankled Trump Jr.

Nothing but respect for OUR future president. #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/h4hkjewu0K

Winfrey's acceptance speech, calling for a "new day," is widely being inferred as the unofficial launch to a run for the presidency in 2020.

Trump Jr. wasn't the only one miffed by NBC's exuberance.

This tweet puts every reporter at NBC in a bad spot. Foolish thing for them to do. But at least now they are open about their bias. https://t.co/tIQtBodRkS

The tweet also attracted derision from other conservatives on social media wondering just who NBC meant by "our."

When NBC tweeted Oprah pic with 'Nothing but respect for OUR future president,' did it mean she should be president of NBC? Of the United States? Of something else? All-caps OUR kind of confusing... https://t.co/Q3TDMAmKRz pic.twitter.com/2uKUBKnQ5O

I hear #Oprah gave what amounted to a campaign speech tonight. Will this be her campaign poster? pic.twitter.com/cQ17nMGnsh
