Bill O'Reilly: Media conglomerates have "ordered employees to destroy Trump"

At least three media organizations have "ordered their employees to destroy Donald Trump," Bill O'Reilly said this morning.

Sitting down with Bill Hemmer to analyze last night's second debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton, O'Reilly said he's "100 percent convinced" of the media plot against Trump.

"I'm talking about big conglomerates. ... News organizations have sent, not officially but through the corporate grapevine, [word] that we don't want anybody supporting Trump. If you study it, you can see which ones they are," he said.

O'Reilly said the first 30 minutes were crucial for Trump after the 2005 hot mic comments about groping women's genitals surfaced on Friday.

"That was the key to Donald Trump's life. Not just the presidential race, his life. If he had faltered in those first 30 minutes, his brand was done, he was done and the election was over and everything. But he didn't falter. He took what came at him and he turned it into at least a stalemate," said O'Reilly, calling that portion a "huge win" for Trump.

He said Trump was then able to go on offense for much of the final hour, "sometimes effectively, sometimes not."

I have never affiliated myself with any one political party in my life, but rather have researched as much as I could about each candidate and chosen the one that best fit my own personal beliefs and values. I have never agreed fully, or even very closely, with any one candidate, but I have always been relatively comfortable with my final choice. I must say, however, that this current election cycle has put me in quite a quandary. It's not that I hate both candidates, but that I so completely abhor both of them that I simply cannot make a choice. These are conclusions I have come to on my own, and whatever the media has or has not said about either candidate does not form any part of my opinions. Their campaign to destroy one of the candidates has nothing to do with any part of my decision making process and should not affect any one else's, either. I will watch the last debate carefully and I will continue to research and study all the information available for me to scrutinize. I just hope that come November 8th I can say, with some degree of integrity left, that I have voted for the best candidate.

Some experience from Canada; Canadians were just faced with a federal election in which the general voter sentiment was "anyone but Harper" meaning that even though the other three candidates were not deemed to have the experience for the job, an unknown is better than what had been in power for the previous decade.

Canada elected young Mr. J. Trudeau for a number of reasons, not the least of which being that his father, Pierre Trudeau was one of Canadas' most flamboyant leaders during the 70's and the name was therefore recognizable to many. This decision is proving itself to have been the wrong one as young Mr. Trudeau is as much of a 'globalist' as his father was and our foreign and monetary policies are just as bad as they were under the hated Harper and we are told there is no change in sight.

I suppose the morale of the story is two-fold; a) all mainstream candidates have the same boss and follow the same agenda so it does not matter who gets in, and b) if you really want to shake things up, vote Green Party.

Baybars,
Thanks for your point of view. I know that in the grand scheme of things that it doesn't really matter who wins, and I know that my one vote won't make a bit of difference no matter which one I choose. I'm just one of those people who will be personally disappointed in myself for making a poor decision if my choice of candidate turns out to be a lot worse than I anticipated. Every choice this election is so very bad, though, that I suppose I'll be disappointed regardless. However, I'm thinking that Americans will do a much better job in selecting their candidates in the future.
