Bill O’Reilly, host of No Spin News and author of Killing the Legends: The Lethal Danger of Celebrity, said on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that former President Donald Trump is “addicted” to fame. “Trump is addicted to the spotlight,” O’Reilly stated. “He has to have it, and that’s hurt him, because once you have to get attention at all times, you’re going to make mistakes. For example, this Maggie Haberman, New York Times reporter, he gives her three interviews. He knows she’s going cut his throat. He’s got to know what she’s been...

Bill O’Reilly and his collaborator, Martin Dugard, will distort public understanding of Ronald Reagan’s presidency more than hostile but conscientious scholars could.

Bill O’Reilly avoided discussing his network’s latest feud with Donald Trump for much of his Fox News show Wednesday night, instead focusing the first 30 minutes or so on Pope Francis I trip to the White House. But he couldn’t help getting a little dig at Trump in during the final seconds of his interview with GOP candidate Carly Fiorina. Following Scott Walker’s departing call for his fellow Republicans to stop Trump before he destroys the party, O’Reilly pressed Fiorina to say how she plans to do that. “I intend to beat Donald Trump,” she said succinctly, prompting O’Reilly to...

Given the "failures" of the Obama election, Republicans can only lose in 2016 if "they out-extreme the far-left" On “The O’Reilly Factor” Thursday night, host and new favorite Coulter punching bag Bill O’Reilly expounded on the difference between “Trumpians” and Democrats, and warned Republicans that the real estate mogul’s brand of undisciplined extremism could hurt the party whose nomination he currently seeks. After rattling off the predictable litany of Republican complaints about Obama’s economic and foreign policies — the suggestion being that Democratic party is weak on both fronts because of the president’s reckless, ignorant actions — O’Reilly claimed that...

The Fox News host issued a statement to TheWrap through his personal attorney Fred Newman on Monday saying, "All allegations against me in these circumstances are 100% false. I am going to respect the court-mandated confidentiality put in place to protect my children and will not comment any further." Media website Gawker reported that O'Reilly had been accused of physical assault during a three-year custody battle with his ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy. Though most of the documents are sealed, Gawker reported that "a source familiar with the facts of the case" revealed that "a court-appointed forensic examiner testified at a closed...

Bill O’Reilly: Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson ‘made a mistake’ Cheryl K. Chumley, Washington Times Fox News Channel’s Bill O'Reilly, host of “The O'Reilly Factor,” said Phil Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” fame actually erred with some of his biblically-based comments about the sinfulness of homosexuality. Mr. O'Reilly, a self-proclaimed Christian, honed in on one specific part of Mr. Robertson’s much-publicized quotes in GQ magazine – the condemnation aspect. “Mr. Robertson, I believe, made a mistake by the condemnation line,” he said, Politico reported. “It’s not about the Bible, or believing or not believing in the Bible. It’s singling out a group,...

Conservative TV host Bill O’Reilly said Thursday he has no problem with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s recent comments that illegal immigrants commit an “act of love.” In fact, O’Reilly said Bush stole it from his playbook. “He took it from me. I’ve been saying that for years,” O’Reilly said on NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday.

"Talking Points" understands the anger towards George Zimmerman. He initiated the fracas. But you don't convict someone of murder because he shows poor judgment or because he racially profiles.

In an attempt to explain why Barack Obama, who lived in Hawaii as a teen, has a Social Security number that indicates he had a Connecticut address, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly asserted the president's father lived in the state. But there is no evidence that Barack Obama Sr., who left Hawaii in 1962 to study at Harvard in Massachusetts and then returned to his home country of Kenya, ever lived in Connecticut. The controversy over Obama's Social Security number traces back to a WND story May 11, 2010, reporting that two private investigators working independently were asking why Obama...

I have never been more repulsed by such an ignorant display of bullying arrogance as I was watching O'Reilly's 'de facto' declarations about Obama's gaps, contradictions and ducking of questions. According to O'Reilly, we can all pack away any troubling notions about Obama now. The all-seeing, all-knowing Bill O'Reilly has declared the "all clear" on all questions concerning Obama's hidden past. And he amazingly did this waving of his magic wand cleansing all doubts without offering an iota of counter evidence! I used to believe O'Reilly was smart, but no more. What a disappointment. I hope this increased attitude of...

The top-ranked host on cable news Bill O’Reilly admitted tonight that he’s starting to lose confidence in the Obama Administration. He also said the White House lacks bold confidence in its decisions and there’s a lot of confusion in the White House. He’s just starting to lose confidence in Obama????

Re: Your on-air bashing of Free Republic So, you think that because one poster on FR comments that a diabetic supreme court nominee might not live to a ripe old age that all 350,000 of us are insensitive right-wing loons? Got news for you pal. The owner of Free Republic (namely me) is diabetic and I've already lost one leg due to this despicable disease and the other leg looks like it's ready to fall off any day now. My sister died of complications brought on by juvenile diabetes at the tender age 43. I've out-lived her in years, but...

Bill O’Reilly has lost the United Parcel Service as an advertiser as popular website Think Progress took issue with the FOX News harassment of websites managing editor Amanda Terkel. Think Progress has sent correspondence to all the sponsors of the show with UPS the first pull advertising for the highly rated show "The O’Reilly". UPS sent this letter to ThinkProgress:......

Now it's so bad that I spend an enormous amount of money protecting myself against evil," declares Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, who says his enemies have become so vicious that he's mulling retiring from his top-rated TV show. He has also hired bodyguards to protect himself. The liberal media establishment is mostly behind the rising tide of hatred because "it can't marginalize me," O'Reilly told Newsday's Verne Gay in a rare interview published Tuesday. Gay writes: "Almost exactly a year since he settled a sexual harassment lawsuit with former Fox News producer Andrea Mackris, the embattled life of O'Reilly...

O'Reilly's Post-Election "Hemorrhage" In response to this morning's post about Paula Zahn's ratings, a CNN insider says: "FNC should be less concerned with Zahn's performance and more concerned with the fact that O'Reilly continues to hemorrhage viewers month-over-month since October." Here are the monthly averages: October: 3,166,000 November: 3,080,000 December: 2,610,000 January: 2,478,000 February: 2,391,000 March: 2,320,000 April: 2,178,000 May-to-date: 2,096,000

Bill O'Reilly just said on his show the Bill Clintoon should be head of the U.N. replacing coffee anon (because he is incompetant)

Just reported on NBC News

Bill O'Reilly of "The O'Reilly Factor" fame might not know this, or even care for that matter, but the principal members of a Manhattan law firm defending him in a $60 million sexual harassment lawsuit have close ties to the Democratic Party and have been generous contributors to various candidates over the years, among them Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Nita Lowey and Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano. This is mentioned here in the interest of full disclosure (call it the "O'Reisman Factor") since O'Reilly's legal team has oddly accused plaintiff Andrea Mackris' lawyer, Benedict P. Morelli, of being such an...
