BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate and the mainstream media have a tumultuous relationship characterized by tension and controversy. As a former kickboxer, Tate has developed a reputation for being outspoken and unafraid to voice his opinions. He frequently directs his criticism toward the mainstream media, often accusing them of various shortcomings. Recently, Tate's provocative tweet targeting the mainstream media for bestowing too much attention upon Tate has created waves on Twitter.

Ever since his interview with the BBC, Tate has engaged in an ongoing verbal battle with media outlets. He seizes every opportunity to publicly criticize these channels, consistently branding them as hypocritical. By openly challenging the credibility and integrity of these outlets, Tate aims to expose what he perceives as their double standards and ulterior motives. This continuous clash between Tate and the media has captivated audiences.

'I bring endless clicks because I'm sexy'

In a recent tweet, Tate shared a Washington Post article that focused on Twitter CEO Elon Musk's monetization strategy. Tate found himself taken aback when he discovered that his name was prominently mentioned in the article's opening lines. Feeling a sense of frustration, he openly wondered why it seemed like every mainstream media article made a point to include his name. Tate suggested that these articles relied on leveraging his name for attention and views, implying that without his involvement, they would struggle to garner any interest. Expressing his confusion, Tate questioned the characterization of him as "far right," emphasizing that his promotion of fitness and exercise should not be grounds for such a label. Additionally, he highlighted his racial background and raised doubts about the credibility and identity of the individual responsible for writing the article.

Referring to "mainstream media" as "MSM," Tate wrote, "Why is it that EVERY SINGLE MSM article includes my name? They literally cant print anything without saying my name otherwise they get ZERO views. I bring endless clicks because im sexy. How am I far right? Because I say go to the gym? Im literally half black. Who is this..."

'Yuck, Washington Post'

Following Tate's rant on Twitter, his remarks quickly caught the attention of users on the platform, prompting them to swiftly flock to the comment section and share their own opinions. One user wrote, "Oh yeah the mad jelousy (sic)." Another user wrote, "Yuck, Washington Post. Jeff Bezos." A user stated, "Because dear sir you have become clickbait!!" A user speculated the reason behind Tate's mention in every mainstream media article and wrote, "Lol Man you’re hyped 😂😂💯" Another went on to state, "People always wanna associate with greatness . You can’t blame them 😅" Another user had an advice for Tate, "ignore people, it doesn't matter what they keep saying or talking about."
