I deal with it on my no-spin news television broadcast, but I'm going to deal with it a little bit more micro here. Because I got about 10, 12 minutes here that I can just spend on one subject. So the guy, the White House correspondent named Terry Moran, been at ABC for 28 years.

I was doing some calculations. I guess he was a new reporter when I was there as a correspondent worker for Peter Jennings. I did not know Moran, okay, because I left to do to anchor inside edition in the late 80s, and then I went from there to Harvard to get a degree in public administration, and then I went to Fox to do the O'Reilly Factor. Meanwhile, Moran did very well at ABC and rose up to be White House correspondent. Now, when you are the White House correspondent, and the best example of this is Britt Humes, who's now a commentator, you're supposed to be a reporter and look for both sides of the situation. It's not what happens anymore.

These White House correspondents make their name for attacking the president. That's how you make your name. Dan Rather started that with Nixon. And then Sam Donaldson, Dan Rather for CBS, Donaldson for ABC, carried that on with Reagan. So rather obviously despise Nixon. And Donaldson, I want to use the word despise. I don't know if that's accurate.

But he thought that Reagan was a third-rate mind. You know, he was above Reagan. That was Donaldson. I saw it in person when I was in a Washington bureau doing a story down there and Donaldson came in and was mocking Reagan. I saw it, which, you know, he's a title of do off the air. It's his opinion. But on the air, if you're a White House correspondent, he's supposed to report fairly. That means you've got to give, well, this is what this guy wants to do, but this is what this guy wants to do, that kind of thing.

So Moran attacked Stephen Miller, Trump's main advisor. I'm not going to read you the whole thing. but he just says Millers, Miller's a hater, he hates everything, and that Trump's a hater too, so that's why they get along. Okay. Now, if you're a commentator like me, you can do that. I wouldn't do it. I didn't do it with Obama.

I didn't do it with any president. I didn't even do it with Biden. I said, Biden's the second worst president. That's not a hater. I back it up in my book confronting the presidents. Okay, you don't agree with me, but again, I'm a commentator. I'm not a reporter, not what I'm doing. So Moran posts this on X.

You can't. So Disney, which has a long history of hating Trump, remember Disney how to settle. George Seponopoulos said Trump was a racist. Trump suited for defamation, $15 million. ABC gives Trump for his library. And then the view, you know what that is every day. That's ABC News.

Now you've got Moran, a top White House correspondent saying that Trump's a hater and Miller's a hater. So they suspend Moran indefinitely. They're not going to fire him. I don't think they'll fire him, but you don't know. So Disney, which owns ABC, I mean, how more militants can you get about Donald Trump? Everybody in your organization hates him. Mickey Mouse hates him.

Snow White hates him. come on what are you doing now CBS so CBS is being sued by Trump because Trump alleges that they took a Kamala Harris interview in 60 minutes and edited it to make her look better which is true okay I saw it I'm in the business 50 years that's what CBS did why because 60 Minutes hates Trump. You don't believe me, here's Scott Pelly, who's the head guy on 60 Minutes. Go. It has been a busy day for presidential statements divorced from reality. Mr. Trump said this morning that any polls that show disapproval of his immigration ban are fake. He singled out a federal judge for ridicule after the judge suspended his ban, and Mr. Trump said that the ruling now means that

anyone can enter the country. The president's claims whether imaginary or fabricated are now worrying even his backers. That's not reporting. That's commentary. What backers are worried? Who? But that's what Pelley is done. That was in 2017. It's now 2025. Eight years. It was the anchor of the CBS Evening News until Nora Donald took over, and then Nora got waxed, and now Pelley's this guy from 60 Minutes, who every week slams Trump. This is CBS, NBC. It's not even considering.

They have a whole network, MSNBC, and all it does is hate Trump. Go. Well, the crisis facing this country and the world, tonight is the complete collapse of mental acuity in the president of the United States, the current president. It's absurd. You know, is you talking about Biden? No, you're talking about Trump.

Now, I speak with President Trump. You know that. And it's policy. But sometimes, you know, it's personal stuff about, because I've known him 35 years. There's no collapse of mental acuity. O'Donnell doesn't know Donald Trump. He hates him. And NBC allows it all day, every day, the whole network.

Okay, so you got ABC, you got CBS, you got NBC, all hating Donald Trump. Here is the irony of life. That hatred has destroyed those networks in the news area. I will now back it up. Now, how often on YouTube do you hear opinions backed up? How? How often? Not often. And if you want to dispute that, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com, name in town, if you wish to opine. Give me some examples. People that speak to you on YouTube who back it up. Okay, so let's look at The evening news, there's three evening news, as you know.

2014, ABC had eight million viewers a night on average. Okay, now it has about seven million. They've lost a million. Not terrible, not terrible, but you lose a million. CBS had 6.8 million in 2014. Now it is four and a half million. That's big. But NBC had almost nine million, more than ABC in 2014.

Now it is less than ABC. NBC went from nine million, okay, to 6.8 million. And a lot of that is MSNBC. So non-liberal Americans, independents libertarians traditional conservatives four areas non-liberal they're not watching any of them because it's a waste of their time why do they want to hear rachel mattow every day say trump's the devil we got it rachel we got it we don't need it said 10 000 times you got a story that you feel is interesting that's hurting the american people and you can back it up with facts

That's fine. But every night, come on. Okay, in the morning, this is the big cash cow for the networks, the morning because they're so long. I think Good Morning America now goes from four in a morning to four and a afternoon or something. It's crazy. This is cheap. And they make money. So 2014, Good Morning America had 4.7 million viewers. Now it has 2.8 catastrophe. NBC Today Show, 6 million and 14, 2.8. They're tied with it. Catastrophe. CBS this morning never had an audience. 2.7 and 14, now it's about 2 million. Some nights, some mornings below 2 million. Now all of these news agencies have changed their personnel, they've changed their sets, bells and whistle. Nothing's working.

and nothing will work. They are through as a major influence in the United States of America. And I'm kind of sad. I work for CBS News. I work local W-CBS TV in New York, excellent experience. I worked under rather not an excellent experience for me. I didn't like it at all. I worked for ABC under Peter Jennings for two years, appeared on World News, more than 100 times. Jennings and I got a long, great. He was a mentor. I admired his style. And he's a liberal man, but he didn't allow that to intrude on what he did on the air.

So this is a pretty big deal.
