Bill o'reilly column: money killed the press

The former ABC News Guy Ted Koppel is not a fan of me. Years ago, when he appeared on the factor, he accused me of corrupt TV messages because I developed an analysis program during the main time that changed the pace of news presentations.

Koppel is right that I did it, but don't understand why it was necessary and a very positive thing.

For decades, the network news organizations controlled what the Americans heard on topics of the day. After working as a correspondent for CBS and ABC, I knew that the inner cultures were liberal.

In addition, most major newspapers were very left on their editorial sites. Therefore, the information has preferred liberal Americans. Obviously not fair.

In 1996 the Fox News Channel assumed my program, which offered a robust opinion and debate. All sides were presented. But Mr. Koppel and many other media people hated it. Why? Because the start threatened the establishment.

Fox derived hundreds of millions of dollars from the O'Reilly factor, which dominated the TV news industry for 16 years, a record that is never broken. This led to the other cable news outfits with opinions in prime time. The traditional network dominance collapsed.

Then Donald Trump came and everything changed.

Cable organizations feel slight money and built either as a Trump hater or as a lover. Instead of trying to address a mass audience, they went all niches and spoke exclusively with ideological and party -reversible. They aimed at selected public groups and gave them what they wanted to hear. Choir practice every day.

It was much easier than analyzing the messages objectively based on facts. Unfortunately, the partisan approach has earned money, which is always the most important for companies, but has also caused an enormous deterioration in the standards.

The Dominion Voting Machine Debacle is proof, as is the failure to honestly cover the destructive bidges.

But the worst thing is that the television messages were installed in a daily boiler of the propaganda. Indispensable statements remain undisputed, false stories are taken as a fact. Somewhere in a very hot place, Joseph Goebbels is enthusiastic.

With this truthful scenario as the background, I entered Trump in the first 100 days (his second term) with a plan of Newsnation's Wednesday's house.

I wanted to revive my original factor concept. Remind the world that was in the past. And James Carville as well as Jake Aschhsin Close, the congress member of Massachusetts, would help me even though they had no idea.

I knew that the two men would come in with anti-trump discussion points and not disappointed. Mr. Carville initially criticized the “trade war” of the president. I then challenged: “So you agree with trillion dollars (retail weight)?”

The old Jim then turned to “cut Medicaid”.

Propaganda game book: If you lose the point, dark by jumping on another topic. I wrapped Carville with the words: “This is your propaganda, Jim. It's Bull and you know it.”

Inclosing was also worse.

“Four points six trillion were wiped off the value of the stock exchange under Trump's term.”

I replied: “This is nonsense, congress member, and you know. You read a script … You have said 50 times in the past three days.”

According to the New York Times, the S&P is now where it was on April 2 when Trump announced the tariffs. Can you deal with the truth, Mr. Aschin Close?

Both the congress member and James Carville were not satisfied with the debate. They are not used to it. They are used to trained seals in expensive clothes that nod confirms.

So the town hall was a great time from the past, as Murray the K once said. An illustration of what is to be broadcast today, but rarely.

Here is the truth. Easy Money and Venal News Moderators have given the media a difficult blow in sight without relief.

And the nation is worse for it.
