Starting point is 00:00:00 Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Standby for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition. On this Monday, the American media loves the gotcha game, where a reporter embarrasses a public official with a line of questioning. That pursuit has been in place since then-CBS White House correspondent Dan Rather tortured Richard Nixon in the late 1960s. Throughout my career, I've asked very tough questions to the powerful in both parties. But gotcha wasn't my goal. Simply put, I wanted to see how much the interview subject actually knew and how accurately they could articulate their position. Today, much of the press is on a mission to expose President Trump and his administrators
Starting point is 00:00:52 as incompetent, even dangerous. In that pursuit, they are trying to weave a storyline that undocumented foreign nationals are being treated unfairly or even persecuted by the Trump administration. Well, in order to sell that narrative, you have to cite examples of cruel behavior. But in any massive deportation, tough things aren't going to occur. However, the press is openly seeking negative. stuff to blunt actions about foreign criminals. That is literally unbelievable. That's how much they hate Trump. It is not difficult to find sob stories anywhere, but trying to undermine a policy
Starting point is 00:01:45 that is beneficial is wrong. Back after this. That is the morning O'Reilly update. More analysis later on.
