Scarborough: Trump has been great for the media

BY JOE CONCHA - 11/20/17 09:52 AM EST

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Monday that President Trump has been "great for the media" despite his attacks on prominent outlets.

"You can’t overstate this enough that the people that have prospered the most while Donald Trump’s ratings have collapsed to record lows, are his enemies," Scarborough said on "Morning Joe."

"The New York Times is doing better than ever. The Washington Post is doing better than ever. Networks like CNN are doing great on revenue. We’re doing great," he continued, referencing outlets that Trump has repeatedly criticized. "All the people that he has attacked seem to actually be doing quite well. Donald Trump has been great for the media."

The New York Times and Washington Post have seen major increases in subscriptions in 2017, particularly on the digital front.

In July, the Times announced it had surpassed 3.3 million print and digital subscribers and doubled its digital base in the past two years alone.
