Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition, but first. On this Thursday, since less than 20% of American adults now consume corporate media, the perception of Donald Trump has evolved into a street corner issue. By that I mean that folks are forming opinions about Trump's legal problems by what they are told by friends and family, rather than what the say-anything-for-profit news organizations put out. This is not a positive development because false information streaks through casual conversations, and everybody knows that, and there is no longer a fair press to correct the

record. So, most Americans live in days of misinformation and ideological propaganda. That is the truth. More truth. Donald Trump was far too casual with the rules, and that is causing him and the Republican Party tremendous grief. I mean, come on, just send the blanken documents back to the National Archives, right? Who gives a fig? Same thing with the election stuff. State your opinion, and then do everything you can legally to write what you think was wrong. I said a few days after the 2020 vote, that Attorney General Barr should have appointed a special prosecutor to look into fraud allegations, that Rudy Giuliani wasn't close to being enough. But as always, Donald Trump marches to that different drummer. And here we are. Back after this.
