O'Reilly Does Gary Johnson

Columnist and commentator, Bill O'Reilly, looks at the upcoming presidential election. First, dismissing claims the election is rigged. Second, giving a pretty good plug to likely Libertarian Party presidential nominee, Governor Gary Johnson.

As far as the election being "rigged", I'm not so sure of that, either. It's fairly obvious the mainstream media tries to pick people's candidates for them. They pretty much focus attention on candidates they like, ignore the rest, and expect everyone to vote for the ones they like. I wouldn't call that a conspiracy. It's more that mainstream media folks are just as simple minded as Joe and Jill Sixpack and like things simple. Two way races fit the bill. Us vs. Them, red vs. blue: simple enough and easy to make news out of.

I suspect O'reilly is pretty much the same way, thus I'm surprised he was able to think outside of he box enough to give Johnson some half way serious attention, although Johnson arguably deserves it. You have to wonder why a former two term governor, once dubbed the most popular governor in the nation back during his term in office, is pretty much ignored.

I'll suggest again he just makes things too complicated and confusing for Joe, Jill and the mainstream media.
