BillO Says Feminists Shouldn't Be 'Allowed' To Cover Trump
For the past couple days now (see here and here if you need to) Bill O'Reilly has been suggesting that it's really not fair for "feminists" to cover Donald Trump because they have an inherent bias against him due to beauty pageants. Fortunately, one of the unpaid female interns over at Fox was able to wiggle her fannie over to a desk, borrow a man's phone and get Bob Woodward to come in and tell us about it.

O'REILLY: Wait, wait. If I'm an editor and I know there is a feminist woman in my newsroom, who is brilliant because I think this woman is an excellent reporter, I don't let her report on a guy like Trump because Trump is the antithesis of that. And so I don't want any margin of error here, there are plenty of reporters who can do the story, do you not see that?
WOODWARD: Yeah, look, I really disagree. There are feminists on the left and the right as you know, and somebody can put their personal feelings and conclusions in their back pocket and keep them there.
