"They don’t like conservatives in general," he said.

"I really don’t think they like this president. And it shows every single day.”

Spicer said while "there are a lot of really good reporters out there," the White House press corps in particular are the problem.

Spicer also dished the "personal animus" claim to "Saturday Night Live," saying that their skits are no longer funny, but more focused on attacking people.

"I think they’ve kind of crossed that line, and become an agenda-based show where they are not in the camp of being funny as much as personally attacking the president and the folks around him in a very mean-spirited way," he said.

Actress Melissa McCarthy portrayed Spicer in multiple skits.

"I think that they’ve lost funny, and gone straight after mean and attack because of their personal animus towards the president,“ Spicer continued.
