O’Reilly: The Press Is ‘Smearing’ Trump With Coverage of ICE Raids
Mediaite ^ | 02/13/2017 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 02/13/2017 7:21:11 PM PST by ForYourChildren

Bill O’Reilly said tonight that the press’ dishonesty may have reached a peak in their coverage of the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in “smearing” President Trump.

...

He said he didn’t see much coverage mentioning criminals being targeted and said, “That’s not press bias, that’s blatant dishonesty.” He also took note of how there wasn’t this kind of outrage after the raids that took place under President Obama.

Smearing? I want to see ICE doing its job. I love it. Shows how out of touch Ted Baxter really is.

"While the principles of our Constitution give just latitude to inquiry, every citizen faithful to it will deem embodied expressions of discontent and open outrages of law and patriotism as dishonorable as they are injurious." --Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Leesburg Citizens, 1809.

"[Montesquieu wrote in his Spirit of the Laws XII,c.12:] 'Words carried into action assume the nature of that action. Thus a man who goes into a public market-place to incite the subject to revolt incurs the guilt of high treason, because the words are joined to the action, and partake of its nature. It is not the words that are punished, but an action in which words are employed. They do not become criminal, but when they are annexed to a criminal action: everything is confounded if words are construed into a capital crime, instead of considering them only as a mark of that crime.'" --Thomas Jefferson: copied into his Commonplace Book.

No, the Press is helping Trump by making normal raids look unnatural, thereby causing many more illegals to preemptively leave.

Is there any doubt total war has been declared on Trump?

I noticed all of the perps shown on O’reilly’s ICE raids were dressed rather nice.

In the old days, their clothes were mismatched and they were walked out of mostly impoverished neighborhoods.

The times...they are a changing.

I think you’re both right, but from different points of view.

The press is definitely trying to use the coverage as a weapon against Trump.

Total war is not just on President Trump. It is on everyone who loves the US, wants a capitalist business model, and wishes the US governed as a republic.

Let the Lügenpresse try, they're rapidly killing their credibility big-time with the American public.

When roundups are mentioned, the MSM never reports that the CRIMINALS among them are the primary target presently.
All Illegals knew from the minute they sneaked in or overstayed visas that this moment was eventually coming.

The MSM has turned into the failing Democrat Party. It is in rigor mortis.

The MSM thinks they have President Trump on this one. Once again they fail to understand that he ran about removing illegal felons from the USA. Every time the MSM shows a clip and then talks about the story, they remind people that President Trump is doing what he said he would. How refreshing, a politician keeping his word.

Don’t want to hijack this thread. Did anyone see the middle school teacher on Tucker, no wonder kids are so screwed up. She needs to be in the gulag.

I am telling you this is where the next CW comes from ILLEGAL ALIENS and the Dreamers. They quote 11 million, but the true number is between 40-60 million. The first Civil War was over SLAVES; the second will be over ILLEGAL ALIENS. As soon as Trump cancels DACA we are in the primer for CWII even though most think I’m nuts on this...

I think President Trump should up ICE raids by 1,000 percent and watch liberal heads explode.

No doubt at all, Gibson guy. OR seemed especially hot about it tonight. All the hosts and guests earlier on FNC even seemed to favor the anti-Trump “guests” so much I wondered if we had inadvertently unblocked CNN or one of the other garbage networks.
