Hey Bill O'Reilly here.

Welcome to the No Spin News, Wednesday, February 18, 2006, stand up for your country.

Most Americans don't care very much about the media. I know that.

It's part of our lives, but it's distant from personal behavior, your personal circumstance.

Polls say the American people believe the press is largely corrupt, which it is, and they can't do much about it because we have the First Amendment and all of that.

And giant corporate media controls pretty much what you see on television and the major urban

newspapers. That's changing because of social media, but it's still there. Now, television

news in particular still has some power. It can ruin people, and it's not hard to do that. So linking anybody with Jeffrey

Epstein, my God, you know, no matter what the circumstance, is your name with his name,

brutal. And if a news agency goes after you and wants to destroy you, it can do it.

And it can also, the American media, protect people.

That's the subject of this evening's talking points memo.

So the Rhode Island shooting was horrendous. Here's a high school hockey game.

All right. And a guy shows up Robert Dorgan, 56 years old. He kills his ex-wife Rhonda and his adult son,

Aden. He critically wounds Rhonda Dorgan's parents and a family friend,

and then he commits suicide at the arena.

I mean, it doesn't get worse than that, right?

So it got a lot of coverage, but part of this story was ignored that Robert Dorgan was a trans person who wanted to be called Roberta Dorgan.

Okay.

Here are the agencies that did not mention that while covering this story in Rhode Island, the Associated Press, CNN, ABC News,

NBC News, MS, The New York Times, somehow did not mention that the murderer was a trans person. No excuse for that. Part of the story,

I don't know the circumstance of this man, woman, whatever, I don't know, but when you are a trans person, that needs to be reported.
