Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition. On this Wednesday in real life, I don't watch a lot of television news because I learn very little by doing so. Yes, I run my own news agency so I have access to information far beyond most folks. But the main reason TV media fails me is because it's incredibly lazy.

While in the Far East at the end of May, I watched CNN in the evening because that was my only source for American news. No Fox, no NBC. CNN has the overseas market locked up. Because of the 12-hour time difference, I was consuming CNN's morning program. It featured skilled broadcasters. They were good. But the presentation was mostly biased and foolish.

Here's what the network does. It selects a topic, say Trump's battle with Harvard. Then it brings in a guest who bashes the president without challenge or even interruption. Over and over again this happens. Liberal guests bloviating while the anchor naps. And I don't blame the news person. It's incredibly boring, predictable, a waste of time.

This lazy formula is not working, as CNN's viewership has dramatically declined. Yet the producers seem satisfied because every day it's the same thing. Why? I don't know. It's not difficult to mix it up with different points of view. Yes, CNN is a left-wing network. Yes, it's failing. Back after this.
