Americans say they do not trust the media to report honestly on the upcoming presidential election campaign. According to Pew Research, 82% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independence. And 84% of Republicans say they are very or somewhat concerned about the influence that made up news could have on the election. Forty-eight percent of Democrats, 49 percent of Republicans say they are very concerned about fake news, and they should be.

In all 75 percent of Americans, following the election, are very concerned. concerned about made-up information. Now, the problem is money. Media companies do not try to appeal to all Americans anymore. Instead, the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC News, CNN, et cetera, make their profits catering to liberal Americans. Fox News does the opposite. Programming basically for conservatives. So who's covering the news for everyone? Well, no one. As a result, stories are ignored that may help President Trump or a Democrat candidate. Other stories are distorted on the same basis. So the news industry has morphed into another sports industry. Root, root, root for the home team. If they don't win, it's a shame.

The result is a mass distortion. I mean, how are you at home supposed to know what's true and what's fiction? You can't. The ultimate result of this will be a media collapsed and an ill-informed public. Already, the nightly news broadcasts are declining drastically. CBS News is now below six million viewers each night. That's a disaster. CNN's ratings are in the tank. MSNBC falling as well. Since Fox News is the only major news agency that supports Donald Trump, it has that market all to itself. so its ratings stay steady. Now, the founding fathers gave the press in America special privileges because the founders knew that the American people had to have honest information

in order to make responsible voting decisions. We live in a country where the real power is centered in the population, you, the American person. But now if you cannot get factual information from the media, which is, again, using special privileges in order to make billions of dollars, if you can't get the truth, how are you going to know what's going on? It's impossible, and it's a brutal situation. I'm Bill O'Reilly and I approve that message by actually writing it.

richest places in this country. First, Dary in Connecticut, a suburb of New York City, the average income there tops 350,000 bucks per person. Famous residents include New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman. Not a bad commute. The village is just 30 miles from Yankee Stadium. The Chicago suburbs of Glencoe and Winnetka.

That's the median. Over to Short Hills, New Jersey, the Garden State has 16 towns in the top 100. but only one in the top 10. Average salary in Short Hills, 400,000 a year. That's six times the regional

average. Next, Los Altos Hills, California, home to Silicon Valley's wealthiest CEOs. Do not plan on stopping off at Starbucks within the city limits because the town is strictly residential. It doesn't even have a post office, just expensive homes. Cherry Hills Village, College, Colorado outside of Denver. Home to the best schools in the country. Alums include two secretaries of state, Madeline Albright, and Condoleezza Rice. Hillsboro, California, home to the infamous Flintstone House. A $3 million property decorated with dinosaur statues.
