planet. The virus has killed roughly 100,000 people across Europe since February. In a moment, a lot of controversy over the American media and how it is reporting the pandemic.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, should we quarantine the press? If you are observant during this time of national isolation, you can learn a lot about your country and perhaps yourself. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will change many things in America, some for the better, some for the worse. On display right before our eyes is the collapse of honest journalism. This has been brewing for a while. In fact, Ted Cople, a former ABC News guy, believes that I, your humble correspondent, ignited the situation by injecting opinion into a primetime cable news

program way back in 1996. Mr. Cople said that to me, on the O'Reilly Factor said it right to my face. I ruined journalism. But Ted ascribes far too much influence to me. All I did was take the newspaper editorial pages and hone them on television. Nothing wrong with that. Of course, the concept can be misused by dishonest people, but that's been going on since William Randolph Hearst. What we are vividly experiencing now in the USA is a herd media mentality that is using the medical catastrophe to sell a narrative to the folks. that the virus is largely President Trump's fault, and voters must banish him come November. Now, my opinion is not stated to either support or engender sympathy for President Trump. Americans have seen him talk about the pandemic for hours. Surely we the people can arrive

at a conclusion about the president using our eyewitness capabilities. But the actual news report, on the government's response to the virus is heavily skewed to make Mr. Trump look bad. The hostility of many in the White House press corps is stark, and anyone who denies that is a deceiver. Obviously, the animus directed at Mr. Trump by so-called objective reporters violates every journalistic tenant. Reporters can and should ask the toughest questions they can formulate. But they should not inject hostility. into the query. What's happening here is failure to communicate honestly with apologies to Cool Hand Luke. National news organizations like the New York Times, Washington Post, NBC News and

CNN, among others, are all practicing outcome journalism. These outfits do not demand their employees' search for factual truth. Instead, editors and TV executives want to clear outcome from the pandemic reporting. And that is, Trump must go. Therefore, almost every bit of the president's virus response will be portrayed as wrong, stupid, or even lethal. Should be noted, there are some pro-Trump expositions in the media, but they are heavily outnumbered by those who despise him. Once a free society cannot get honest, objective information, it becomes less able to make responsible decisions. That's absolutely happening right now in America. It is not an overstatement to say the press collapse is a virus that is harming all of us, and there's no vaccine in sight.
