Many figures in the media, including Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, have become known for their criticisms of President Donald Trump. However, both of them were known for their support for the sitting president in times past. Recently, Fox News alum Bill O’Reilly weighed in on the issue. During the conversation, he shared one reason there seems to be such a dissonance.
Bill O’Reilly Recently Appeared During An Episode Of Piers Morgan Uncensored
In the world of media, commentators are sometimes known for changing their opinions. They might become known as a critic of something or someone that they once openly supported.
In recent years, President Donald Trump has often found himself the subject of such changing opinions. Two figures known for criticizing Trump when they previously supported him include Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson.
Recently, these changing views became a topic of discussion on Piers Morgan Uncensored, in which Morgan spoke with Bill O’Reilly. For his part, O’Reilly is known for his work with the Fox News Channel, having hosted The O’Reilly Factor from 1996 to 2017.
Noting His Previous Work With Fox News, Such As The O’Reilly Factor, Morgan Asked O’Reilly To Weigh In On His Former Colleagues
During the conversation, O’Reilly and Morgan took note of a number of figures who have been targeting President Trump, including Kelly and Carlson, as well as Marjorie Taylor Greene. Morgan then asked him to weigh in on his former Fox News colleagues.
As Morgan noted, “They’ve turned on Donald Trump, who’s turned on them as well, but there’s a real fracturing of the right in America. A lot of these are your former Fox News colleagues. What do you make of what’s happening here?”

Musing on the subject, O’Reilly felt that the issue was that Carlson and Kelly were “personalities” more than “journalists.” As he explained, “Well, look, I can’t speak for them as far as their motivation is concerned. I can tell you that they’re not journalists! None of them are.”
“They are personalities and very successful personalities. So, I mean, I back up everything I say by conversations with the president of the United States, one-on-one. Or Pentagon, or Mossad, or whatever the weapons inspectors in Austria, or wherever vehicle is going to give me information. And I pass that information along to my viewers and listeners. I’m not in it for clicks.”
