"For the media to now celebrate the fear that they helped create is disgusting but typical," Parscale wrote in a lengthy statement to reporters. "And it makes us wonder why we bother credentialing media for events when they don't do their full jobs as professionals."

Corporate media organizations had a field day after only about 6,000 supporters attended President Trump's rally, failing to fill the BOK Center stadium and left the planned overflow areas empty.

Parscale blamed the media's negative reporting before the rally for the small crowds, criticizing them for stoking coronavirus fears and reports of possible protests and riots.

"The fact is that a week's worth of the fake news media warning people away from the rally because of COVID and protestors, coupled with recent images of American cities on fire, had a real impact on people bringing their families and children to the rally," he wrote.
