O’Reilly Claims 3 News Orgs Are Instructing Employees to ‘Destroy’ Trump

Bill O’Reilly apparently has it on good authority that there are three major media organizations ordering their employees to “destroy” Donald Trump.

He told colleague Bill Hemmer this morning that “there’s at least three of ’em” doing this, saying, “I can’t say who they are right now, ’cause I don’t have it nailed down, but I am 100 percent convinced.”

He insisted that all of these media organizations are telling people their careers will be “done” if they dare support Trump

Some journalists and media reporters were amused by O’Reilly’s unsourced claim:
