Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani complained Thursday that the media promote stories about allegations against Donald Trump over bad news about Hillary Clinton.

Speaking at a Donald Trump rally in Florida, he claimed that newspapers publish allegations against Trump without evidence on Page One but bury revelations from Wikileaks email dumps about Clinton on Page 10.

He railed against several news organizations, calling the New York Times the “Clinton Campaign Newsletter” and referred to CNN as the “Clinton News Network.” He said that the media is engaged in a “conspiracy” with Democrats and the Clinton campaign.

He cited an email from Donna Brazile obtained by Wikileaks that he claimed suggested she had access to primary debate questions in advance and may have sent them to the Clinton campaign. (Brazile has denied having access to the questions in advance.)

“You call that crooked. You call that cheating,” Giuliani said.

He said that news coverage of the election is “absurd,” complaining that Trump “makes a joke and its turned into some serious comment.”

    This coming from someone who cheated on his spouse. That’s rich!
