Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day the true story behind the feud between President Trump and Congressman Elijah Cummings and other racial feuds. President Trump knows that Mr. Cummings and other Democrats are trying to destroy his

presidency. There is no question they are trying to do that in a variety of ways. The Russian inclusion, investigation, impeachment, and smearing the president at every turn. Now, I spoke with Mr. Trump about the attacks on him while putting together my upcoming book, The United States of Trump, which will be out in September. The president's point of view is that he is not going to be a pinata. He is not going to allow people to criticize him without coming back at them. I pointed out that a factual rebuttal might help the president more. He almost laughed at me.

He said, nobody would listen to that. You have to go after the people personally to get the public's attention. Thus, when criticized and when threatened, President Trump does exactly that. Elijah Cummings' point of view is that Mr. Trump is the worst president in history. he does not deserve to be in the office, and the congressman is going to do everything he can to besmirch Mr. Trump and try to get him out of office, or at least to lose the upcoming election. So the battle lines are drawn. Elijah Cummings goes down to the border, criticizes Donald Trump saying that he actually wants the migrants to suffer,

and that Americans should be outraged. Donald Trump replies that in Mr. Cummings' district in Baltimore, you have abject poverty, you have people who are addicted to narcotics, you have unbelievable violence, and the congressman has done nothing for 24 years about it. That's the feud. But it really isn't, because behind this is the Democrats and far left basically demonizing anyone, anyone who, who criticizes a person of color or a woman. That is an inhibitor on free speech. For his part, President Trump is not going to moderate his personal attacks. He's not going to do it. You can appeal to him on a variety of levels, but he believes he was elected by devastating his

Republican opposition in very personal ways. So, there isn't going to be any change, the racial feuding will continue until the election. Now, this is not good for the American people. President Trump and Congressman Cummings should not be going after each other in personal ways. Should not be using the race card. And that's mostly, to be honest, on Mr. Cummings' side. President Trump did not mention Elijah Cummings' race or anything about it. He just went after him as an ineffective congressman. But the other side is clearly calling a president of the United States a racist,

comparing him to Andrew Johnson, trying to send a signal to people of color that Donald Trump hates them. That is absolutely bad for the USA. They may think that's true, but when you read my book,

you'll see a whole different side to the way Mr. Trump approaches the minority precincts. That is the message of the day for more fact-based honest analysis. Please visit Bill O'Reilly.com.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Public trust in the mainstream media at an all-time low, according to recent polling, and with good reason. It's becoming obvious to most Americans that the news media, at least most of it, no longer interested in finding the truth, choosing instead to push a political agenda. For many outlets, the shift from facts to ideology has had a profound effect on their bottom line. Pew Research Center reports on the state of the mainstream news media. Their findings spell bad news for American newsrooms. In 2018,

the biggest losers by far were newspapers. According to Pew, total circulation for daily weekday papers dropped 8%. Circulation now at the lowest level since 1940, the first year the data is available. As a result of the fall in circulation, newspapers are also selling fewer ads. According to an analysis of security and exchange commission filings, ad revenue dropped by 13% in 2018. That includes both print and digital platforms. For cable news, the situation is different. Driven by constant coverage, of President Trump, the three news agencies, are indeed losing viewers but not add revenue. CNN has lost the most eyeballs, MSNBC down as well, Fox News losing younger Americans.

Of course, ratings were buoyed by breathless coverage of the Russian collusion story. Donald Trump has said once he leaves the political stage, cable news will simply collapse. Local TV news is in a steady decline. According to the Pew Report, the average audience fell dramatically in key time slots last year, morning news down 10%, evening and late night news dropping 14%. Despite the fall in viewership, ad revenue for local news did increase, but just a little. It remains to be seen if the cash flow will be enough to save local news, which has been in a ratings free fall, since 2007.

due in large part to the abundance of competition on the net. With the decline in trust of the mainstream media, Americans are clearly turning to alternative outlets to get their news. Unless the news media dramatically alters their current strategy, which is not likely, consumers may simply abandon the industry altogether. All in all, the media in America, not a growth industry. In fact, it's in serious trouble. We'll be right back. Bill O'Reilly here, if you are age 75 or older, and if you own $100,000 life insurance policy or larger, I want you to get a pen and write down this information. Many Americans are making the decision to convert their life insurance policy into cash,

giving them some extra money to pay off credit cards, medical bills, any number of things. Look, the economy's been a struggle for many. Some people need cash. There's nothing wrong with that. You can get that money if you're over 75, and if you have, a $100,000 or larger life insurance policy. So write this number down. 844, we buy 75. Totally free to call it. Get rid of those insurance premiums. Stop paying them. Consider turning the policy into cash. The number again, 844-4-4-We-B-U-Y-75. 8-4-4-We-B-U-Y-75.
