Bill on the Media's Effort to Destroy Trump

Hey BillOReilly.com Premium Members. Welcome to the No Spin News, 7th of February 2017. 

So the Trump interview is over and I’m kind of glad it’s over. It was a big hit worldwide and all that, but I think we got every living second out of thirty-six minutes we could possibly get, so enough is enough, right? 

As far as going forward is concerned, I think I’d like to interview him every six months or so, primarily about policy. I think that would be worthy. I think he’ll do it. He knows we’re fair and we’re not trying to kill him like most of the others are. And they are. It bothers me.

Were there right-wingers trying to get Barack Obama? No doubt. No question they were trying to get him. You know, he wasn’t born here, his birth certificate was this, he was a Muslim, whatever. But it wasn’t as organized and it wasn’t as pervasive. 

You’ve got big media companies who are basically telling their employees, the press people that work for them, destroy the man. That’s what they’re saying. Because I know people who work for these organizations. Now if I mention their names, they’ll be fired, and I can’t. 

But they tell me all the time, “if I say something good about President Trump, I can forget about getting assignments, my career is going to be damaged and I’ll be scorned and everybody will be looking at me and talking about me, and there’s tremendous pressure to say bad things about Trump.”

It’s just wrong. It’s just flat out wrong. 

Today I heard Shepard Smith on Fox criticize Trump. He’s not a big fan of the president’s, but that’s all right. He’s got his hour, 3-4, and he can say what he wants. The company hires him, and if he sees that the Trump administration is not doing what they should do, he should say it. So we don’t have that here. You can say whatever you want as long as it’s with responsibility and context. 

But for me, it’s more of a hard news thing than an opinion thing at this point, because it’s hard to have an opinion when you don’t know how the policies are going to turn out. 

I don’t like sanctuary cities, I want Kate’s Law passed, all of that. So obviously I make that clear, but how is Donald Trump’s administration going to perform? I don’t know. Nobody knows. So why are you attacking him? Let it play. Let it play out. 

It’s like every single thing the man says is this, it’s that, it’s so boring.

So anyway, we appreciate you guys, we got a lot of feedback on the interview, and your feedback is very, very good. I read some of the letters and I read more bad ones than good ones because the bad ones are more entertaining. 

These people really believe that I shouldn’t ask the president any hard questions, but if it were President Obama I should take his throat out. Those are called zealots, ideologues. That’s what that is. We have some watching, but I don’t think a lot. I think most of you guys are pretty fair. You want information and you want what’s best for the country.

So anyway, thanks for being Premium Members, talk to you again tomorrow.
