Bill O'Reilly here, you are listening to the best of the O'Reilly update.

Here's what's happening today in America.

My father watched Walter Cronkide on the CBS program 20th Century back in the 1960s.

That was a Sunday show.

Now I can't remember my father ever talking about old wall to his kind of blan.

William O'Reilly senior preferred the more colorful Mike Wallace on night beat.

But Cronkide was a titan for CBS News.

When he retired 41 years ago, about 28 million Americans tuned in each weekday evening to

watch his broadcast.

The US population back then was around 200 million.

Today there are 330 million people in America, but only 5 million of them watch the

CBS evening news.

So what the do's happen?

Many things, none of them good for television news.

First most electronic news organizations are frightened of the cancel culture.

So story selection and actual reporting are cautious, not bold and creative as they

should be.

Producers and reporters well know they could be fired instantly without any due process

should they do something that angers the progress of left.

We've all seen false accusations and labels such as racist, misogynist, homophobic, irresponsibly

applied to public figures by woke fanatics.

It is out of control.
