Hillary Clinton and her family are operating one 'giant criminal enterprise,' former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Monday.

And the 'elite media, which really shouldn’t be considered news media,' are servicing the Clinton political machine, he argued.

'They are methodical propagandists for the left,' Gingrich told Fox News' Sean Hannity, 'smothering negative information about Hillary and maximizing negative information about Trump in a way that is a huge disservice to the United States of America and to the people of the United States.'

Hillary Clinton and her family are operating one 'giant criminal enterprise,' former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Monday

Fox News' Sean Hannity had run down a list of embarrassing factoids revealed by the hack into John Podesta's emails, including what he called 'dirty tricks' against Barack Obama in 2008 to cast him as a Muslim and a 'pay-to-play scheme' in Haiti for Clinton Foundation donors

Hannity had run down a list of embarrassing factoids revealed by the hack into John Podesta's emails, including what he called 'dirty tricks' against Barack Obama in 2008 to cast him as a Muslim and a 'pay-to-play scheme' in Haiti for Clinton Foundation donors.

'In its totality, what are we to make of all of this?' Hannity asked Gingrich, a surrogate for Donald Trump who was nearly the billionaire's running mate.

Gingrich replied, 'This is a giant criminal enterprise disguised as a foundation and disguised as a campaign.'

Pivoting to a report published by The Center for Public Integrity, Gingrich noted that journalists were found to have given $382,000 to Clinton this election and $14,000 to Trump.

'So that means among the news media, the ratio was 24 to 1 in favor of Hillary Clinton,' he extrapolated. 'Now, of course, they wouldn't suggest that they're biased.'

But that's also the same ratio of time that the networks spent publicizing Trump's 2005 Access Hollywood video compared to their coverage of the Wikileaks' Podesta emails last Friday.

'It was 23 minutes on Trump and 57 seconds in all three networks combined on Wikileaks,' he claimed.

The 'elite media, which really shouldn’t be considered news media,' are working in service of the Clinton political machine, Gingrich said in his response

Columbia's School of Journalism 'should rename itself the Columbia School of Propaganda,' Gingrich said, mocking the Ivy League institution.

'These people aren’t engaged in news,' he barked.

Gingrich's assault on the media follows several days of complaints from Trump that the media is helping to rig the election for Clinton.
