Martin Shkreli's Twitter Diss Updated; Bashes CNN And NBC; Claims CBS And Fox Are Better!
Martin Shkreli's continued his Twitter diss throughout this week, this time bashing news giants CNN and NBC. In his tweet posted last Monday, the notorious pharmaceutical executive also mentioned how he thinks CBS and Fox News are better.
A follower got the attention of the controversial 32-year-old by tweeting about his allegedly biased interview with CNN.
"Just saw the @LaurieSegallCNN @MartinShkreli video. Lol @CNN is a joke with reporters like her," the fan wrote.
Martin Shrekli then told his Twitter followers that the said news outfit has been portraying him unfairly.
"I've had worst experience with CNN of all major media," he said. "NBC also."
"CBS and Fox are more reasonable," he added.
The statement came amid numerous negative news reports about the embattled businessman's congress hearing last week. USA Today covered the said event, which discussed Martin Shkreli's decision as former CEO of Turning Pharmaceuticals to increase the price of life-saving drug Daraprim by more than 5,000% - from $13.50 to $750.
The medicine, which is used to treat toxoplasmosis, is said to have properties that can help people with AIDS and other persons with weakened immune systems. Throughout the congress interrogation, the alleged "new poster child of capitalistic greed" kept citing his Fifth Amendement right to not implicate himself.
However, Martin Shkreli went to Twitter after the meeting to vent about how he was cornered. "Hard to accept that these imbeciles represent the people in our government," he scoffed.
"I am confident I will prevail. The allegations against me are baseless and without merit," he said in a previous tweet.
Messages of support were also retweeted by Martin Shkreli, specifically those about how media is allegedly very biased in their portrayal of him.
"He is a victim of the uninformed and extremely biased media," on person wrote.
"I hated you at first because [of] the media, [but] after researching you and what you have done for people, I wish [you] all the best," another follower commented.
