On his Thursday night show, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly observed that Hillary Clinton was not very well liked by the liberal base of the Democratic Party or the media: "I'm not sure that liberal Americans really like Hillary Clinton, alright? And I know that even though most of the liberal national press wants her to win because they hate Republicans, they don't much like her either. Am I wrong?"
Media critic Bernie Goldberg argued that her likeability was irrelevant "...it doesn't matter either whether they like her or not. What does matter, what is important, is that they like her a lot more than they like any of the Republican candidates. And when she has a real candidate who she's running against, a real person on the Republican side, the press will revert to form....They will cover Hillary the way they covered the last historic candidate."
