Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly Thinks Media Is Unfair To Donald Trump
Donald Trump is getting an unfair bashing from the media, and Bill O’Reilly is not happy about it. A YouTube clip shows him starting off his show Monday evening with a lot to say about the media trying to influence the election.
“Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders actually have a lot in common. They are both running renegade campaigns going for a complete overhaul of the political establishment. And yet, the two candidates are being treated very differently by the press.”
Bill O’Reilly adds that it’s pretty much safe to say that most of the establishment media despises Donald Trump. He believes that Trump’s populist approach and straight talk is unsettling to many liberal voters. He believes that when the media asks him a question, they do it to put Trump on the defensive in order to make him look bad.
As an example, O’Reilly uses political commenter Jake Tapper from CNN, who — when talking to Trump — defined Iowa as an overall loss for Trump when O’Reilly believes it isn’t. O’Reilly sees the media obviously playing favorites when it comes to Bernie Sanders.
“Sanders is barely attacked by the press, even though some of his proposals are so far out they would be impossible to achieve.”
O’Reilly uses the fact that Sanders believes college students are entitled to a free education, which Bill believes is impossible due to the cost. Bill O’Reilly has been harsh to Sanders because of his extreme left beliefs, but he has not attacked him personally.
Twitter has commented on the alleged media favoritism towards Bernie Sanders.
John McCain was getting destroyed by the liberal media for being "old" when he was running. But Bernie Sanders isn't? Hmm. Really weird

Meanwhile, CNN reports that both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are far ahead when it comes to the New Hampshire polls.
“Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican race in New Hampshire on the eve of the vote, the final CNN/WMUR tracking poll finds. On the Democratic side of the race, it remains Bernie Sanders’ primary to lose, with the Vermont senator holding a 26-point lead over Hillary Clinton, reads the report.
CNN adds that Trump holds 31 percent of the support, which is only down two points from the most recent tracking poll. However, it is within the poll’s margin of sampling error. Despite what the media says, Donald Trump still has a lot of support on Twitter.
