    The Department of Homeland Security said last week that it is very
    likely Russian hackers targeted Hillary Clinton's Campaign Manager
    John Podesta. Mr. Podesta is an almost fanatical party enforcer for
    the Democrats, he has long been a confidant of Secretary Clinton.

    Talking Points believe that if the Intel is correct and Russian
    hackers working for Putin did indeed intrude on the American
    election, President Obama must take action. First, he must speak
    directly to the American people about the evidence and second he
    must apply sanctions against the Putin government. These cyber-
    attacks are just that. Attacks. So let's get on it, Mr. President.
    Now, for the fallout. By hacking into Podesta's e-mail, we know
    beyond any doubt that the American press is corrupt. At least to
    some extent.

    For example, "New York Times" political reporter Mark Leibovich
    appears to have given Hillary Clinton's spokeswoman Jennifer
    Palmieri editorial control over a major news story in "The Times."
    Reporter asked Miss Palmieri if he could use certain quotes that
    Hillary Clinton gave him in a private off the record meeting. That's
    against journalistic procedure. You don't write a political article
    okayed by a campaign. Another example, working for CNN at the time,
    now Democratic Chairwoman Donna Brazile apparently fed the Clinton
    campaign a question that CNN was going to ask doing a town hall
    meeting featuring Mrs. Clinton.

    Again, that's corruption and that should never happen. Sample three,
    John Harwood, he is a Washington correspondent for CNBC and you
    remember him as a former debate moderator in the Republican primary.
    According to hacked e-mails, he was e-mailing Podesta suggesting
    things Hillary Clinton could do to become more successful. That's
    outrageous. Example four, "The New York Times" reporter Maggie
    Haberman, then working at Politico was described by the Clinton
    campaign in an email as quote, "a friendly journalist who teed up
    stories that never disappointed them.

    To be fair, that's hearsay. Miss Haberman did not do what Mr.
    Leibovich did directly interacting with the Clinton campaign as far
    as we know. So, the email might be unfair to her and both is
    troubling. Also, another hearsay situation, report today out of TMZ
    says that NBC had that "Access Hollywood" tape for months and
    purposely released it to damage Trump before the debate. Anonymous
    sources, so impossible to verify.


    Finally, the talk show host Steve Harvey provided Hillary Clinton's
    campaign with the exact questions he was going to ask Secretary
    Clinton.

    STEVE HARVEY, TALK SHOW HOST: She's been breaking ground in her
    personal and professional life since she was a kid. So let's go back
    to when you were just a kid.

    HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: Oh boy! Oh my goodness.

    HARVEY: You wanted to be an astronaut.

    CLINTON: I did.

    (END VIDEO CLIP)

    O'REILLY: Mrs. Clinton knew exactly that that was coming. Including
    the use of her picture as a child. Talking Points has long asserted
    that the American press is essentially an arm of the left. This
    proves it. There's no doubt. So, let's sum up. Any journalists
    colluding with the political campaign should resign immediately,
    before she resigned. Period. And that's "The Memo".

    demeaning women since, well since Wednesday night's White House
    hip-hop party.
