Veteran conservative firebrand Bill O’Reilly is once again telling it like it is—this time calling out CNN’s Erin Burnett for what he says is blatant sympathy toward the Chinese Communist Party. During an April 7th segment on *NewsNation*, O’Reilly dismantled Burnett’s soft-glove treatment of China’s economic warfare against the United States and ripped into the mainstream media’s ongoing failure to report the *truth* about the dangers posed by the communist regime.

In a time when media elites trip over themselves to criticize President Trump’s America First policies, O’Reilly made one thing clear: China is not a misunderstood trading partner—it’s a global adversary, and pretending otherwise is reckless.

“To my shock, she was almost sympathizing with China,” O’Reilly said of Burnett’s segment. “Let me tell you about China. They’re the worst cheaters on the planet. They steal.” That theft, as he explained, includes hundreds of billions in trade imbalance, intellectual property, and national security secrets. And yet, instead of defending the American worker, Burnett chose to undermine President Trump’s common-sense tariffs designed to protect U.S. interests.

O’Reilly continued, pointing out that while China blocks American goods from entering its markets, the U.S. has sent over $300 billion more to China than it receives in return. Meanwhile, tiny Ireland—with just 5 million people—buys more U.S. products than the world’s second-largest economy. “That tells you everything you need to know,” O’Reilly said.

His frustration reached a boiling point when he exposed what most Americans already suspect—that the U.S. is financing China’s growing military threat. “You’re building your military off U.S. dollars,” he warned. “We’re financing their military by the trade deficit.” And what does the Chinese military do with that money? It prepares for war—*not* defense. O’Reilly warned, “You are stockpiling weapons and men to an extent that you don’t need to be defensive. Trump knows this.”

The real danger, O’Reilly argued, isn’t just China’s aggression—it’s the American media’s blind eye to it. “They never report the big picture. They never give you the danger of China—*ever*! They hate Trump so much, they’ll ignore the facts.”

And he’s right. While President Trump is making tough, strategic moves to protect our economy and sovereignty, legacy media figures like Burnett would rather score partisan points than defend American interests. Their ideological bias blinds them from seeing that Trump’s tariffs aren’t about “chaos”—they’re about confronting the greatest economic threat to our nation.

Social media users agreed. One viral post summed it up: “Bill O’Reilly isn’t holding back—and honestly, why should he? The media has been soft on China for too long… Erin Burnett trying to sympathize with China is a slap in the face to every American who’s suffered from their trade manipulation.”

O’Reilly’s message couldn’t be clearer: It’s time to wake up. The American media may want to downplay the threat of China, but patriots across the country know better—and thanks to voices like O’Reilly’s, they’re finally being heard.
