Harvey Levin blasted some traditional media outlets, saying they are being "ruined" by the administration and their own deeds and he finds their "bullying" unbelievable. | Getty TMZ founder Harvey Levin blasts critics of his Trump meeting

TMZ founder Harvey Levin opened up this week about his meetings with President Donald Trump, chiding the media for criticizing him while pretending to be objective reporters.

Levin, a lawyer who went on to found the celebrity gossip and news website and television show, defended his hourlong meeting with Trump last month, saying they were discussing future opportunities and other projects. (Levin featured Trump on a special called "Objectified," which aired on Fox News last year.)

“It is hilarious to me and kind of sad, that I was in the waiting room in the West Wing for a half hour before I walked in there. And probably saw a hundred people, including reporters. So, nothing happened until a week later, and then people were furious that I got in there and actually I was in Washington for something different and went in there," he said.

Speaking Monday at a conference of the National Association of Broadcasters, Levin bemoaned the fact that he, Steve Harvey and Kanye West were all blasted for meeting with Trump.

"I guess the solution is that nobody should see him; it should be a boycott,” he said. “That is so stupid."

Levin, who said he's known Trump for 12 years, said he also asked Hillary Clinton to participate in the "Objectified" special, but she declined.

In their White House meeting, Levin said he expressed his opinion on certain issues and that he disagreed with some of Trump's positions and opinions.

"I'm not sure some of the stuff he does is stuff he believes," Levin said. "I went in there and I voiced an opinion on some things, and why would you not get in that game if you disagree; the solution is to boycott? I mean the guy has already shown in the last three weeks he’s changed his mind on five things. So if he's willing to change his mind, why would you sit on the sidelines and bully people who go in there?”

Levin also blasted some traditional media outlets, saying they are being "ruined" by the administration and their own deeds and that he finds their "bullying" unbelievable.

“There are certain networks and newspapers that are very clear on who they are and what they feel, and that’s fine. If you put yourself out as somebody who supports Trump, or, like MSNBC, is against Trump, at least you get it, you know what you’re getting," he said. "But when you pretend like you’re objective, but you’re not, and you are angry and you are trying to kill and bully, I think that is killing [them]. And I don’t think they know it yet, but I think some of the trusted names in news are not trusted anymore because of this.”
