Two weeks ago, I said this: (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BILL O'REILLY: Some of these Tea Party people are nuts. They are. They're crazy. I mean, we sent Jesse Watters down there, and he puts the number at about 10 percent that are just loons, out of their mind. Every group has that. (END VIDEO CLIP) And that's true. No matter what group you're talking about, you'll find loons. Enter The New York Times, which is finally taking the Tea Party seriously. In a front-page_article Tuesday, they put forth that Tea Party people are primarily extremists. They lump in the John...

*snip* ROD BLAGOJEVICH, FORMER GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS: Well, Bill, the most important evidence is the secretly taped conversations when the government taped my home phones for about six weeks and other telephones. And there are hundreds of hours of secretly taped conversations. And the great irony here is I've asked and my lawyers have filed a motion to petition the court to have all of those tapes heard by either side and played in court so that the jury of my peers could actually hear what the whole truth is. We've advocated and I've advocated from the very beginning that...

You know, I've just about had it with Mr. 'Due Diligence', Mr "Research your brains out', Glenn Beck --mercilessly going after the genuine questions about Obama's veiled past as "lunatic", fringe, insane--including the MIA birth certificate and the missing, contradictory and veiled Obama personal, professional and academic records. He and O'Reilly are beginning to protest too damn much...the TRUTH of the matter is that there are LEGION of murky questions surroundiong Obama. It is conspicuously bizarre the way they are behaving about it--overdoing the "hostility", the ridicule. Since Beck is so quick to castigate and dismiss the so-called much maligned,...

It's the perfect combination. Blonde bimbos, supposedly spouting a conservative message. At least that used to be the O'Reilly Factor (FOX News Channel) formula. I noticed it years ago, but my wife wouldn't let me write about it. Talk about being hen-pecked. And here's a question from my wife. She what's to know what's the deal with the sleeveless outfits being worn by the FOX News blondes in the middle of winter. Is it fashion sense? Or a lack of common sense? Perhaps I should get to the point because this isn't Vogue magazine, but she was just wondering. Back...

Let me preface this commentary by explaining that I do not watch either Bill O'Reilly or Glenn Beck. I don't have to. WND visitors send me so many video clippings from these shows, pointing out the good, the bad and the ugly, there's no need for me to devote two hours a day tuned to the tube. Lately, it seems, O'Reilly and Beck have been teaming up – doing each other's shows. Such was the case recently when Beck visited the set of "The O'Reilly Factor," where they exchanged ignorances on what we call "the eligibility issue." One thing this...

RodBlagojevich told Bill O'Reilly that purported Obama emissaries offered to raise a bunch of money around the country for him if he in return appointed a certain candidate that they were interested in. Appearing on FNC's O'Reilly Factor, Blagojevich admitted that the offer was made to his chief of staff at the time. While this may have the initial impression of a quite revealing and forthcoming interview with Blagojevich, such admissions were actually far and few between during the six-minute interview. Blagojevich actually spent much of the interview obstructing, stonewalling and ducking and dodging, which stood in severe contrast to...

Bill O'Reilly has called out MTV for how stupid their people are in their lack of transparency regarding their celebrity-laden Hope For Haiti Now telethon. Cable news TV's most powerful pundit—based on the being the most-watched cable news show in the US—made the comments in a segment that was part of his newly started investigation of MTV (folks behind the telethon) for lack of transparency and potential problems with the money raised actually going to Haiti for its intended purpose of helping the Haitians. To be clear, O'Reilly is not discouraging Americans from giving aid to Haiti, but, rather, is...

When your child is handed a death sentence by a doctor and the family is forced to make decisions about the future, without the help of a crystal ball, nothing is more personal or traumatic. Several years ago I received a phone call from my close friend Julie, who was in just such a position. She was heart broken, sobbing and desperate. Through tears she explained how she had just returned from a doctor’s appointment. The doctor informed her that her baby had Trisomy 13, a defect that would leave the baby so badly deformed he would not survive birth,...

Here is video of Fox News' Megyn Kelly talking with Bill O'Reilly about President Obama's attack on the Supreme Court during his State of the Union Address, and his claim that their recent ruling opens the door to "foreign companies" being able to influence political campaigns through making contributions. Kelly said flatly that the Supreme Court ruling does not allow that to happen. Laws are still in place to prevent foreign companies from contributing to U.S. political campaigns. Kelly said, "That, as spoken by President Obama, is not accurate." She also said that it is unprecedented for a U.S. President...

Here is video of Bill O'Reilly talking with the President of the "Women's Media Center," Jehmu Greene, who is urging CBS to drop a pro-life ad from the Super Bowl. (Video)Greene said the ad is "trying to take away from all American women" the "choice of reproductive health decisions." She said that, "CBS has a very specific advocacy policy that they have decided out of bias that they are going to change that policy, and we need to hold them accountable."

During George W.'s administration, liberals loved to wail over the supposed--but never demonstrated--suppression of free speech. But now we have the spectacle of a member of the Dem majority warning a leading representative of Fox News to stop celebrating his network's success--under threat of reinstitution of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." On last evening's Factor, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, invoking the possibility of the Fairness Doctrine's return, warned O'Reilly to stop "crowing" about Fox's success. View video here.

Fox News' 8pmET "O'Reilly Factor" was the top rated cable news show last night, but it also drew more viewers than "Community" and "Parks and Recreation" the NBC broadcast sitcoms that run during the 8pm time-slot. Bill O'Reilly's show also had more total viewers than Jay Leno. Last night's 4.8 million viewer audience was O'Reilly's largest since the breaking news at Fort Hood last November. Here's a chart of last evening's Fox News primetime against the primetime programming on the broadcast networks. (More cable news info on our scoreboard.)

In this interview, Governor Palin discussed her leisure pursuits with Bill O’Reilly. Governor Palin confirmed that she hunts moose, caribou, buffalo. She skins, butchers, freezes and eats the meat, and feeds her family with the same. “We eat; therefore, we hunt,” she said. “It’s part of that ‘Alaskana’ culture. It’s a healthy, active lifestyle that we so enjoy up there.”

The O’Reilly Factor Tonight Wednesday, January 20: • What does Scott Brown's victory mean for the Democrats' health care bill? Dick Morris weighs in • Plus, Sarah Palin opens up about her private life!

This one is so shocking you may have to sit down for this one. After all it talks about the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) a darling of the mainstream media. They were even on Bill O' Reilly last week to defend the civil rights of American Muslims. It would be so hard to believe that this supporter of Hamas, and un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Terrorism funding case would actually do something illegal, but after being charged with criminal fraud a year ago, they got another visit from the "Bluebird of Subpoena Servers."

Sarah Palin made her debut as a contributor/analyst on Fox News Channel yesterday in an interview with Bill O'Reilly. Her analytical debut was short; it was actually in the form of an interview with Fox News Channel flagship/"bigshot" Bill O'Reilly and lasted a mere 15-or-so minutes divided into two segments. The breadth of the interview and Palin's resulting analysis were quite mundane as the usual topics of interest in current event news were covered, though the pacing of the questions on which Palin could offer analysis was pretty speedy, thanks to O'Reilly. These were in order: Palin's analysis of why...

On Fox News' #1 rated cable news program The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly interviewed guest journalist Brit Humes regarding his controversial remarks about Tiger Woods switching to Christianity made just the day before on Fox News Sunday... Bill O'Reilly played that tape, then immediately asked Hume "Is that proselytizing?" To which Brit replied "I don't think so ..." ... By definition, proselytizing is "To induce someone to convert to one's own religious faith. To induce someone to join one's own political party or to espouse one's doctrine." ... Perhaps it is the word "proselytizing" and the possible negative connotations...

Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann are engaged in one of the most visible rivalries of the decade — a conflict that may be rooted more in their similarities than differences. Both talk show hosts are former straight news reporters who share not only a formula for talk-show success, but a mutual respect for Tom Snyder, whose 1970s talk show Tomorrow set the bar for thoughtful, entertaining talk. Olbermann and O'Reilly make our Players list for best epitomizing the transformation of news in the 2000s. While CNN ruled the '90s with an emphasis on breaking, opinion-free reports, The O'Reilly Factor helped...

BILL O'REILLY, HOST: In the "Factor Follow-up" segment tonight: A new Wall Street Journal poll says there is a big political change going on in America right now. Thirty-five percent of Americans see the Democratic Party favorably. Twenty-eight percent say they like the Republican Party. But a whopping 41 percent now say they support the Tea Party, which is stunning when you think about it. So will the Tea Party become America's third political party? Joining us from Washington, Ned Ryun, president of American Majority, an organization that trains Tea Party politicians. And here in the studio, Fox News analyst...

After listening to the condesending Bill O'Reilly towards Sarah Palin, and having my blood pressure raise about 40 points. Bill is a know-nothing globalist that continues to lie and cover-up the facts. Plain and simple. He lied about the Birth certificate and ridculed anyone that brought that up. Well here is my poster of the real Bill O'Reilly
