Synopsis: A hard-hitting and no-holds-barred broadside from the anchorman of the Fox News Channels The OReilly Factor--whats good about America (plenty), whats bad(plenty still), and whats completely ridiculous (most everything else). Every night on the Fox News Channel, Bill OReilly tells it like it is. The OReilly Factoris the fastest-growing cable news program--and thats because OReilly leaves no stone unturned in his quest to reveal the truth about the state of America. It doesnt matter if youre a Hollywood movie star, or a Washington insider, or Joe Blow from Massapequa--when you come up against OReilly, you better get your story straight. Here, for the first time on paper, is OReillys take on our country, our politicians, our celebrities, our class system, our love lives, our money. In fact, OReillys got an opinion on just about everything, and hes holding nothing back: OReilly on class: A mind is a terrible thing to waste if youre held back by race, or gender. It is just as great a waste when youre held back by class. Right, Reverend Jackson? OReilly on Martha Stewart: While she masquerades as a paragon of good taste, she has turned herself into a snooty, condescending mogul . . . Shes a first-rate con artist. OReilly on money: The true heroes of America are not the new Internet billionaires or the overpaid sports stars. The true heroes are the men, women, and teenagers who go to work for a modest wage, fulfill their responsibilities, and are kind and generous to others. OReilly on Al Sharpton and David Duke: These two are the most ridiculous racial demagogues in the entire U.S.A. If God has a sense of humor, they will be sharing a sauna in the netherworld. With one thermostat. OReilly on sex: Its time that we all lighten up about sex and keep our sexual activities where they belong: in the privacy of the bedroom or the hot tub, or in the case of Pamela Anderson, on the Internet. Mixing fascinating stories from his life both on- and off-screen with his explosive views on whats up with America, and how we can fix it, The OReilly Factorwill ruffle your feathers, make you laugh, and make you think.
