The O'Reilly Factor 51616 | Bill O'Reilly on Donald Trump vs New York Times, Transgender Law br Bill O'Reilly on Donald Trump vs New York Times, Transgender Law, Donald Trump and the Gender Politics, Watters worldbr br A front-page article in the New York Times over the weekend heavily implied that Donald Trump mistreats women. But almost immediately one of the women quoted in the article disputed what the paper said. Talking Points does not know how Mr. Trump treats women in general, but we do know that he is a flamboyant entertainer, a provocateur who lives lavishly. Voters will have to make up their own minds about Mr. Trump's private behavior and that will not be an easy thing to do. The same thing is true with President Clinton, also the subject of a provocative article last week on Clinton Foundation money going to a for-profit energy company owned in part by friends of the Clintons. One footnote: The New York Times did not see fit to report that story even though they have covered questionable Clinton Foundation situations in the past. Anyway, the latest expose is loaded with innuendo about Bill Clinton's friendship with a neighbor in Chappaqua, New York. Again, Talking Points has no idea about that, but we do know that Clinton Foundation money flowed to a private company, which is now failing, for the benefit of people who have helped the Clintons. That in itself is a major story; the innuendo is meaningless at this point. American voters are going to be subjected to an incredible amount of speculative garbage over the next six months. The American press is not fair. It is heavily ideological and will spin all kinds of things to try to get a certain candidate elected. It should not be this way. But it is."br br The Factor invited Charles Krauthammer to enter the fray, and the good doctor did just that. "We have a long and distinguished history of a partisan press," he began, "and even back in 1800 the Jefferson press called John Adams a 'hideous hermaphrodite.' Now we have developed 'objective' standards, but we know the mainstream media is liberal and biased against conservatives. In this case, the big winner was Donald Trump because the headline is, 'Trump challenges New York Times and the woman supports Trump.' The whole story was lukewarm and uninformative." Dr. K also opined on the Clinton Foundation revelations. "I've always thought the big story about the Clintons is not the emails, but this so-called charity which is really a slush fund. We know it was used by the Clintons to advance themselves!"br br Trump and Gender Politicsbr br Donald Trump has high negatives among women voters, but can he turn that around? The Factor posed that question to Democrat Mary Anne Marsh and Republican Katie Pavlich. "If Donald Trump wants to win women," Pavlich theorized, "I think he should start courting Bernie Sanders voters. Sanders is beating Hillary Clinton on the left with women. Donald Trump will have issues with women unless he does something to show he's really presidential." Marsh worried that a truly malicious campaign could lead many women voters to stay home. "Historically women turn off when elections get nasty and dirty, they throw up their hands and say they won't vote. That will be to Donald Trump's advantage - he will have an easier time trying to make this a negative campaign that will keep women at home.
