Welcome to the No Spin News for Tuesday, April 21st, 2006, stand up for your country. So a lot of confusion today with the Iran situation. The latest is, and this can change, changes hour by hour, that Vice President Vance, who was supposed to lead the negotiating team to Pakistan, has not left. He's still in D.C. because the Muller's won't, I guess, give the Trump administration any indication of cooperation.

So we're not making any progress. The world is not making any progress on this front. And I don't know. No one knows whether that will change. Just keep in mind of two things. This is not a hard negotiation. All it is is that weapons inspectors from Austria would be allowed to go to Iran on a regular basis to see what their enrichment of uranium is and how they are tending to their ballistic missiles. That's it.

If Iran would agree to that and why would you not if you weren't a warlock nation, okay, then the whole thing would be over. But they won't agree because they want this. The Mullers want this. In fact, they love President Trump to carpet bomb the country and kill 5,000 Persians. Mullahs would love that, love to see it happen. That's a trap they have laid. And going forward, okay, we have to make a decision we, the United States on how to punish these people.

It's a very difficult decision. But it's not a difficult negotiation. That's it. Let the weapons inspectors in, then everything would fall into place. I hope we all understand that, that you're dealing here with a country that doesn't want the conflict to stop. It doesn't care if their own people are killed. Very tough. Very, very tough deal with that.

All right. So the delegation is standing by on Washington, I understand. It's Kushner, it's Witkoff, it's J.D. Vance. But they're not going anywhere unless they get a signal that Iran is willing to agree to some of these. requests. So now we wait. And you can watch cable television all night long, all day long. You'll hear speculation after speculation after speculation. And none of it's true. It's just a guess. The Talking Points memo is what is not a guest and what is true, what is actually happening. So the ceasefire will end tomorrow in Iran, 8 p.m. this evening, Tuesday, here in the USA.

I assume President Trump will extend that ceasefire, but I don't know. And I'm almost falling into the same trap of the television news industry. I assume he's going to extend it, hoping that some rationality comes in. The U.S. Navy today, remember, they're ahead over there, eight or nine hours, boarded another vessel and took it into custody. So how many times did you hear Iran controls the Straits of Hormuz? How many times did you hear that? 100 times they do not control it. The U.S. Navy controls it.

Doesn't really help worldwide commerce because there is disruption. And the insurance companies, based in London, don't want to ensure the tankers going in and out of Hormuz. And that delays everything. these tankers, the insurance on like $2 million a trip. Okay. But the U.S. Navy has control over that part of the world. All right.

It has turned back so far, 27 ships. Wouldn't let them in, wouldn't let them out. Does that sound like Iran has control to you? That made me so angry with this watching it. I just go, I'm a journalist and I just see this and they don't care whether they are misleading their audiences. They don't care what they say is true, which is why you're here. Now, in Washington itself, there was a small demonstration, all left-wingers. These are veterans groups who go under the title of Vets Against Fascism.

But 120 of them turned out, and they demonstrated against Trump and the Iran conflict. Here's what one of them said. Go. My sons are 11 and 13. But we all know from Iraq, from Afghanistan, a war that's one months, that becomes six months, that becomes six years, that becomes a decade. I can see where this is going. Okay. She's a perfect right to do that. She earned the right by being a vet.

I may disagree, but I don't mind she's out there. 120 protesters showed up. About 60 were arrested. Nothing will happen to them. They'll be taken in. They'll be processed, and then they'll be let go, and the charges will be dropped. That's what happens now. Now, here's an interesting story.

You may have heard me say, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut was the worst Trump hater on Capitol Hill, and it's true. He is. So Murphy, on April 20th, gets involved in an X back and forth. And someone points out on X that 26 Iranian shadow vessels have bypassed, a U.S. blockade, okay? Whereupon Murphy, a sitting senator says, awesome, awesome. Like, that's good, I'm glad.

So now Murphy, and if everybody had listened to me last week when I told you how crazy this guy is, Murphy. Okay. Here's what he says about it. Go. I probably should give up on sarcasm on Twitter. Obviously, anybody that's seen anything that I have said about Trump's war knows that I think it's bungled, mismanaged, and you should end it as quickly as possible.

But sarcasm is not something I guess that's allowed on Twitter any longer. Do you regret the post? Are you planning on taking it down? I mean, I guess I just have to be more careful about sarcasm on Twitter. Sarcasm about what? What's the sarcasm? The Post was that 26 Iranian vessels. have evaded the U.S. blockade, and you go awesome.

What are you being sarcastic about? I'm not understanding. I don't understand what the sarcasm is. I don't believe the guy in the first place. He's happy that the vessels evaded the U.S. He wants the Trump administration to lose the Iranian conflict. That's what I believe, based upon his previous statements, and what a hater he is. But his explanation, like, I'm being sarcastic, about what?

Sarcasm isn't in play here in any definition at all. Awesome? That's stupid. Now, if you said I was just being stupid, then I can probably agree with that. but I know that he wants Trump to lose. He's not alone. We did Friedman, Thomas Friedman in New York Times last week. You know the same thing.

I don't want to give Trump a victory. Okay. And then there's the view. Now, I'm picking on the ladies here because it's so insane what they're doing there. Roll a tape on now. No, none of it goes away. And that's why they are planning on a draft.

They're planning on a draft. And you're bitching and moaning that there are women who are part of the Army Navy, and you're getting rid of people and you talk about who shouldn't be. What the hell are you people doing? And what it is is they're changing that you no longer are, you have to opt, you just have to opt into the draft. Now it makes it automatic. It's a draft.

I'm sorry, it's a draft. because if you are 18 to 25, they're looking at you. Well, they're increasing that age, too. How old is it? I think it's 42. Well, of course, there is no draft. There never will be a draft. American people don't want a draft,

but Whoopi Goldberg believes there's a draft. It's almost, you're just like, is this true? Or am I in a delusional state here? Finally, Pope Leo, the story, thank God, is dying down. The Pope's on his way back from Africa to Rome, but the press does not want to let this one go. Roll the tape. What do you say to people who see that, who see your criticism of the... You can have, look, nothing, I have no disagreement with the fact that.

The Pope can say what he wants, and I want him to say what he wants, but I can disagree. I think that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. If they do, the whole world would be a jeopardy. The Middle East will be blown up, and the whole world will be a jeopardy. Now, Trump believes that. Okay? This is, I guess, Pope Leo believes something. I'm not as sure what Pope Leo believes, because he hasn't articulated what he believes.

I'd like to know what he believes. but I don't. But I know Trump believes that Iran would use the nuclear weapon. And he's not going to change that belief. So, in recapping, we don't know where the state of the negotiations are. We believe that the ceasefire will be extended a bit. We have no idea how this is all kind of come out. We know some in the press and on Capitol Hill are rooting against their own country.

And we know Donald Trump can't afford to lose this. Financial stress is hitting an all-time high. Millions of Americans are stretched thin with no extra money, no room to breathe. And this isn't just lower-income households. Middle-class families are also running out of options. If debt has been weighing on you, you are not alone. And waiting usually makes things worse.

Apple News, Google News, Yahoo, and others. Here is a study, okay, put out by a group called All Sides, which I just learned about, interesting group.

And they studied three of the big ones, where people go for information. The first was, is Google News. 1% of the articles that you read on Google News are from right-leaning outlets. 73% are from left-leaning. Apple News. 2% of articles you read are from right-leaning outlets, 50% left-leaning. And finally, Yahoo, 2% of the articles you read on Yahoo, right-leaning outlets. supplied them, 53% are from left-leaning outlets. Now, why should we care? Joining us from

Evansburg, Pennsylvania, is Julie Mastrini, the Director of Communications and Biased Rating for All Sides. So why should I care about this? I can see the left wing bias on television for myself, why do I need to go to Google and Apple and all of these things to reinforce that? Well, the thing is that a lot of Americans, when they're using these news aggregation apps, they likely think that they're getting a broad view because the aggregators have the appearance of curating from various media outlets. So what we did at all sides is we applied are 2,400 media bias ratings to see if these aggregators are really balanced and they're not,

you know, most of them are on the left, most of these news aggregators, especially the big ones like you just highlighted, Google, Apple, Yahoo. Really, when you're using those apps, you are mostly seeing news from left-leaning or left-rated media. And the danger of that is that it just gives you the appearance of getting a broad view when really you're ensconced inside a filter bubble. You're not getting diverse views. And then how are you going to be able to think for yourself? Right. So, you know, Bill, you might be aware of the left-wing bias in the press, but other Americans, like, they might not be. You know, they might be thinking that they're just getting down the road news, down the middle news. And that's not the case. So I go to Yahoo News, for example. I go there,

and I want to learn about Pope Leo and his stance on Just War and, and, you know, and and Iran. So I just punch up Pope Leo, right? I just punch it up. And then what you're telling me is that the coverage of Pope Leo would be put out almost 100% by left-wing media people. Do I have it? Well, close. We did do an analysis of Google search. So when you put in a specific search term like you just described, what types of media outlets are being returned. Now, we did that during 2024, during the election cycle. And we found that Google search results were 68% biased to the left for terms like Harris News, Trump news, you know, election news, that sort of thing. Now, we didn't do the same analysis for Yahoo. For Yahoo News, what we did is we just looked at whenever you go to Yahoo News.com and you're looking at what's aggregated there, what do you see? Like, how many articles are coming from the left AP or lean left to New York Times or lean left CNN versus Fox News on the right? So that's really what we were measuring with our news aggregator analysis. Do these articles that does Yahoo and the others identify where they're from?

No, no, and that's the thing. They're not transparent about the perspective that these outlets are coming from, which is why all sides exist. It gets spit out as fact. Yeah, and that's why all sides exist. We make the bias of these media outlets transparent because we think Americans deserve to know what angle the news is coming from so that they can make an informed decision themselves about what they think. Okay. So this is the big thing now.

It's going to overcome cable and network news. it's probably already done that. I mean, my YouTube operation has just skyrocketed into the millions. But it's me, and people know it's me. And so if you're going to consume it, you have a kind of a basis of fact that here's O'Reilly, and this is what O'Reilly has done in his career. People don't understand that. But the anonymous articles, the articles where you don't know who's writing them or how they got there,

this kind of exposition or fact finding, whatever you want to call it, this is going to be in the future really what Americans depend on to get information, correct? Well, right now, Google News, Apple News, they have in the tens of millions of daily users. So people are really relying on these apps, these news aggregation apps, to get the rundown of current events. But the trouble is, is that it can be very sinister and even manipulative, is that it. if these big tech companies are only showing people news from one side. So they really have a decision to make.

Do they believe they have a civic responsibility to help Americans get a broad view and think for themselves? Or do they essentially want to be one-sided propaganda outlets that are just showing people news from one side? And I can explain how we come up with these bias ratings because it's actually very interesting and based on surveys of Americans and panels of experts. Okay. Well, we trust that all sides is doing the research the way it should be done.

But my point is now it's almost to the overwhelming on the left. They are dominating the messaging in America by using the apps. And then in combination, they've got three out of the four cable networks, and they have all three of the network, the traditional network. So is it dominant information flow to the left in this country? Am I wrong? I would say that you're right. Yeah, if you're looking at the major cable networks, most of them, we rate lean left or left.

And then also, if you're using these news aggregation apps, you're mostly going to be seeing content from left leaning in left media. So there is a left-wing narrative dominance. in that respect. And it really is the case that the news on the right is more buried. You know, like you said, Apple, you know, most of these news aggregators, they're curating less than 10% of news from outlets on the right. So that's a really small percentage. And Google and Apple, the decision to do this was made, we assume, by the executives who run these operations. We assume that they wanted to do that. So that's how they set it on up. They're very aware of our analysis, you know, and they kind of seem to be denying that it's a problem and downplaying the problem.

And, you know, we're just bringing this to light so that Americans can understand that if they rely on one of these aggregation apps, they might not be getting a balanced, well, they're not getting a balanced view. Well, if you get booked by CBS, ABC, NBC, or CNN, you let me know right away. Because they're so not going to put you on the air to tell everybody this. Final question, AI. So AI is going to sweep in, and you're going to be able to get the same access that you get now, but it's going to be a more vivid display of information driven by artificial intelligence. Do you expect the fix will be in the same way it is in now? I mean, AI is going to, it's already starting to transform the news industry.

We know that media outlets are using AI. Often it's not very transparent that they're using AI. Sometimes they are not very public about the ways that this is, you know, being fed into their news content. So, you know, we're really focused on media literacy. We want there to be transparency. And we're going to, you know, continue to develop tools that, you know, without saying that we're going to not use AI to, you know, help with our work, right? It's not really a technology we want to totally shun. But we also want people to be able to understand when it's being used, where it's being used, and how it might contribute to bias.

We actually did about... That'll be interesting to see because it's a lot cheaper for news organizations to use AI than regular human beings. And that's what's going to happen. You're going to be, you know, putting this electronic stuff out there with very little supervision because they don't want to pay a couple of hundred thousand dollars in health and salaries. to a human being. All right, Julie, very good. I'm glad I could bring this to everybody's attention. And if you have any other good stories,

please let us know right away, okay? Absolutely. Thank you, Bill. Okay, flights on air Canada. Where'd you want to go? The Azores? For its hot springs and volcanoes? Hmm, speaking of volcanoes, what about Japan? Mmm, you know I love sushi.

Not as much as I love tapas. Maybe, Mayorka. We could hit the beach, then go hiking. Hiking? Hiking. Or how about a seaside stroll in Sicily? Ooh, I do love canoes. Wait, what do you think of...

With a world of destinations to choose from. Good luck picking just one. Air Canada. Nice travels. The ride that steals the spotlight every time it hits the road, that's the Volkswagen Tiguan. Its sleek exterior makes a first impression you can't ignore. Step inside to find available full leather seats and wood accents.

Under the hood, the available 200. 101 turbocharged horsepower engine gives it a fun to drive edge. The refined Tiguan, you deserve more style. Visit vw.ca to learn more. S.U.V.W. German engineered for all. D.C. So I have to go to this correspondence dinner on Saturday. I don't want to go.

You got to put on a stupid tucks. You got to deal with a lot of unpleasant people. It's a mess getting in and out of there because Donald Trump's going to be there for the first time. And I understand the First Lady Melania Trump's also going to be there. And I don't want to go. But I have to go because it's a big story. And the story is, how are these people at the Washington Hilton going to behave? Now, we're getting a preview.

So Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson, Dan Rather 94 years old, Sam Donaldson, Sam Donaldson 92, have both signed a letter along with 248 other journalists, are urging the press to quote, forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump during the White House dinner. Well, what does that mean? forcibly. Now you got the Secret Service in there, and I'm sure you'll have other security, but if somebody does something untoward, I'm going to stand up and say something. I'm just not going to sit there passively and do it. I guess I'm a cop now, but that's one of the reasons I'm going. I don't expect there to be any physical

confrontations. I did write about this in my message of the day on bill o'Reilly.com if you want to see it. But all these people, rather in Donaldson, these are long, long time leftists who despise Trump. And now they're talking for forcibly demonstrate opposition. What does that mean? I will find out. And I'll report back on Monday. So I got to get down there tomorrow to D.C. I'll tell you about in a minute. And it's not about Donald Trump. In fact, Donald Trump has very little ado with why I'm there. It's about the office of the presidency.

And if you, as a journalist, and you've got to be an accredited one to get into this dinner, if you're going to demean the office of the presidency, I'm going to make that known right there and then, and then subsequently afterward. So we may have some fireworks brewing here. But this is my job. All right, Chicago, Cinco de Mayo. They say they cancel the parade because they're fear,

it's not true. Again, it's so ridiculous. So Cinco de Mayo is a big parade that honors Hispanic Americans, and it was canceled in Chicago in 2018 and 19 due to a lack of support. It means nobody was going to show up. In 2024, just two years ago, the parade had about 5,000 people, and then shots were fired by rival gangs. Nice.

Chicago, way to go. Okay. So it is so much swirling around, they've canceled Cinco de Bile. But they're blaming it on ice, but I didn't even do with it. But I thought you'd like to know that. So as a conservative congressman in Texas, Chip Roy, and he is introducing the Mam Donnie Act to denaturalize and deport socialists. All right, quote, the bill would deport to natural I deny U.S. citizenship or entry to any alien who's a member of a socialist party, communist party, Chinese Communist Party, Islamic Fundamental Party, or advocates of socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism. Okay. So Chip Roy wants to throw them out of the country. Local news is in decline across Canada, and this is bad news for all of us. With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation, philipel. the void, and it gets harder to separate truth from fiction. That's why CBC News is putting more

journalists in more places across Canada, reporting on the ground from where you live, telling the stories that matter to all of us, because local news is big news. Choose news, not noise. CBC News. There's more to life than finding the perfect car, but finding the perfect car can help you get the most out of life. Like the SUV that handles everything from drop off to off road, and the car that hulls groceries and hockey teams, or the van that's gone from just practical to practically family. Whatever you want, wherever you're going, start your search at atotrater.ca, Canada's car marketplace. You can't. It's legal to be a communist in this country, and it's

socialist and a fundamentalist, as long as you're not violent. And Roy is doing this to get attention. Of course, he's a far right guy. That's what he does. He knows it's not going anywhere. You know, courts will throw it out in a heartbeat. And they should. We don't want to be that kind of a country. Now, they get out of line. They do something illegal. You go get go get them. Go get him. But Mamdani, he was a communist, he got elected legitimately. You know, I don't know whether you're following a story about the New York Mets who's lost 11 in a row. But Mamm Dynne hugged Mr. Mett.

Okay, Mr. Mett is the mascot. Since that hug, the Mets have lost 10th Street, 11 overall. So it's a curse of Mam Donnie. Back with a final thought in a moment. All right, so we're off to D.C. tomorrow. I'll be doing Leland Verdeert, on News Nation in Wednesday evening. Before Leland, I'm going to be interviewing Judge Janine Piro, who is the D.C. DA. Haven't seen her around, have you?

We got her. It's going to be on, we'll do it live, long form. So that should be fascinating. Now, I've known the judge for decades, and we've got a lot to talk about. So she'll be on the program. I don't know whether I'm going to see the president or not. He's pretty busy these days. That's for sure.

We have a lot of business down there. You know that. We've got to see a lot of people and do a lot of things. I'm not a big fan of Washington, D.C., myself. You know, the character of the city is kind of bureaucratic for me. Pretty airy. I mean, go over to a bridge to Fairfax and Alexandria and all that. But I got to go.

So I'm going. We'll be there tomorrow. We'll do the no-spin news from there. Then Judge Janine, then Leland Vitter. Then I'll take a nap. Thank you for watching and listening to the No-Spin News. We'll see you tomorrow from the district. Before you knew what a stock was, you traded snacks, cards, turns.
