Bill O'Reilly here, Tuesday, November 17th, 2020. You're listening to the O'Reilly update. Here's what's happening across our nation. Thousands of new ballots discovered during the Georgia recount. Governors bring back the COVID shutdown. Four and ten Americans plan on celebrating Thanksgiving in large groups. Most flights between the U.S. and U.K. canceled until 2021. The world Health Organization warns a vaccine may not be enough to stop the plague. Also ahead, will the TV news media collapse after Donald Trump departs? But first, poll workers in Georgia discovering 2,600 uncounted ballots in Republican Floyd County. Officials say the votes were found on a memory card in a ballot scanning machine. The Peach State currently conducting the largest hand

recount in U.S. history before Wednesday night's midnight deadline. Governors in some states bringing back the pandemic lockdown, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, New York, California, closing bars, restaurants, gyms, churches, and other places, people may transmit the disease. North Dakota instituting a statewide mask mandate. The positivity rate there, now hovering above 16%. Wow. Survey from Ohio State University says 40% of Americans plan on enjoying Thanksgiving with at least 10 other people. A third of us will not require our guests to wear masks inside the house. I know I won't. The study comes as COVID surges in all 50 states, infecting about a million people a week. The British not coming this Christmas, American Airlines and other carriers

canceling service between New York City and London until January. The UK remains one of the worst hotspots for COVID. British Prime Minister Johnson shut down the pubs and other businesses earlier this month. Officials with the World Health Organization telling reporters any new vaccine will not be enough to eradicate the disease. The agency's director says, quote, a vaccine will be a compliment to other tools. A vaccine on its own will not end the pandemic. Drug companies Pfizer and Moderna disagree. Both expect an effective treatment within months, and so do why, but we're talking about America, not the third world. In a moment, as President Trump leaves this stage, what will television news do? Right back with that.

Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

Get ready. Big changes coming next year in politics and media. All of us will be affected. Spread the word.

Unless Moses comes back and parts the Potomac River, Joe Biden will be perfect. President. Old Joe grabbed more than 78 million votes, a record. Donald Trump garnered 74 million, the second biggest vote getter ever, with only Biden besting him. Doing the math, more than 150 million Americans cast ballots. But on the day after the election, with the contest and dispute and drama high, only two million Americans watched the CBS News special. Just, just the day after the election, just Just two and a half million. Watch the ABC news special. Three and a half million tuned in to see NBC's news special. Those are catastrophic numbers. Cable news had more viewers, but not many more. Astoundingly, CNN beat Fox News. So what's happening right before our eyes? Well, most Americans

who consume what the corporate media puts out know that dishonesty and unfairly. fairness is the lead story. But in the beginning of his presidency, Donald Trump has been brutally attacked by the press, which openly allied itself with the Democratic Party. Every honest person has to admit that. The Russian collusion fiasco and impeachment or historic embarrassments. The smearing of Mr. Trump, combined with the president's lack of discipline in defending himself, led to his defeat. In his heart, Mr. Trump knows. I'm right. The president made too many unforced errors, but the way he was treated by the combined national media agencies was corrupt and unprecedented. Americans who pay attention

understand that no matter who they voted for, they know the media fix was in, and they will not forget. Therefore, all of the corporate media will suffer and lose audience steadily over. the next year. Because the fix will still be in. The news industry will continue to mislead you every day, every way. President Biden will be fabulous. Everything he does will be magnificent and perspicacious. Donald Trump will be blamed for anything that goes wrong. The media has to do this. It can never admit it back to mediocrity. However, the new president will get a chance for many Americans. But I foresee a guy who was exchanging a basement in Delaware for a cloistered office in D.C. The new president will go to Sunday Mass. He has to thank God

for the kind treatment he has gotten from the press. Not too many in the press will attend church because it's a secular crew. They largely believe in themselves and they believe they defeated Donald Trump. But demise is a condition. that can spread like COVID. These biased media people have become unbearable to many Americans, the smug condescension vividly on display over a painful four-year period. And the press will remain, above all else, smug as a bug in a rug. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve that message by writing it, disagree. I want to hear from you. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com.

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Exactly one year ago today, doctors in Wuhan, province, China, began treating patients with high fevers, dry coughs, and severe fatigue. Hospital workers believed the victims were suffering from the flu. Two weeks later, officials in Beijing knew they had a new virus.

on their hands, one that kills at a rate three times higher than influenza. SARS, COV-2, also known as COVID-19. Chinese researchers traced the bug back to a local food market with live animals, including bats, eels, and chickens. The Communist Party quickly moved to cover up the outbreak. The military was deployed to isolate Wuhan. Folks were forbidden from leaving their homes, entering public buildings, even shopping for groceries. More than 900 million people in China were ordered to stay indoors the largest quarantine in history. It did not work. Between November 17th and January 1st, COVID spread through air travel to places like Milan, London, Madrid, New York. The United Nations and the World Health Organization were quick to back Beijing.

The WHO released a statement saying, quote, China's actions actually helped prevent the spread of coronavirus to other countries, unquote. Ten months later, COVID has infected 54 million people and killed 1.3 million. 250,000 in the USA alone. And here's something else you might not know. Right now, no one really knows how bad the virus outbreak, is in China as the cover-up continues there. According to the Communist Party, the country eradicated COVID in late February, just two months after patient zero. The nation of 1.4 billion people

is reporting just 86,000 cases and 4,000 fatalities, the same number as Tennessee. Of course, this is all bold. No one believes it. except maybe the World Health Organization. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.
