Biography

Here's Bill


Whether it is on television or radio, in books, in newspapers, or here on the web, the name Bill O'Reilly is synonymous with hard hitting, uncompromising No Spin reporting and analysis.

For some thirty years Bill has been a working journalist: a writer, news producer and reporter, anchor, and show host. His numerous awards include two Emmy Awards for Excellence In Reporting and two National headliner Awards for his news reporting for the ABC network. O'Reilly was also honored by The National Academy of Arts and Sciences for his reporting and analysis on and after September 11th, 2001.


Background: Professional
Bill began working in news in 1975 at a local station in Pennsylvania and quickly moved up to larger venues in Dallas and then in Denver and Hartford.

By 1980 O'Reilly was in New York, working at CBS as host of a nightly TV magazine show. His work there caught the eye of the network people who named him a CBS network news correspondent.

In 1986, Roone Arledge, the President of ABC News, came calling. Bill joined ABC, providing award-winning coverage for the network during his three-year stay.

In 1989 a new nationally syndicated magazine show called Inside Edition was rolling out across the country, and Bill was tapped to host the show. Six years later, after considerable success with Inside Edition, Bill felt it was time to move on.

After a break at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Roger Ailes recruited him to the Fox News Channel, which was about to go on air. His show, originally called The O'Reilly Report, began in October of 1996.

And now Bill O'Reilly is at the top of his profession.

TELEVISION: "The O'Reilly Factor," seen weeknights on the Fox News Channel, continues to dominate the television news ratings, consistently ranking as the highest rated cable news show for more than two years. It is also carried in dozens of foreign countries.

RADIO: In 2002, Bill came to radio. The Radio Factor was an immediate hit. It is one of the most successful syndicated radio shows ever, heard Monday through Friday on more than 400 stations nationwide. The demand is such that Premium Members here at BillOReilly.com can listen at their leisure daily to "streaming" audio of the latest program.

BOOKS: Bill is one of only two authors in the past ten years to have three consecutive number one non-fiction books on the New York Times Best Sellers list. "The O'Reilly Factor," "The No Spin Zone," and "Who's Looking Out for You" have sold millions of copies. Bill continues to find the time to write, most recently turning his attention to Teenagers and a new book entitled "The O'Reilly Factor For Kids."

COLUMN: Bill's syndicated column is carried in hundreds of newspapers across the USA, including The New York Daily News and the Philadelphia Inquirer. He is pleased to preview each week's column weekly right here at BillOReilly.com.


Background: Personal
Education sparked O'Reilly's career. He graduated with a degree in history from Marist College, with a Master's Degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University, and attained another Master's in Public Administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.

Raised in a working class family in the huge housing subdivision of Levittown, New York, Bill O'Reilly has stayed close to his roots. He still lives on Long Island, is married with two children, and his best friends remain the neighborhood guys.

Bill's Charities


Find out about all the charitable organizations Bill supports.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY - NYC
Habitat for Humanity NYC is one of more than 1,500 United States affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International, an ecumenical, Christian housing ministry that seeks to eliminate poverty housing from the world. "This affiliate was created in 1984 when New York City was selected as the site of the first Jimmy Carter Work Project and currently builds in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens." Habitat for Humanity rehabilitates simple, decent homes, sells them to partner families at no profit, and helps families to finance the homes with affordable, no-interest loans. Instead of a financial down payment, homeowners invest hundreds of sweat equity hours of volunteer labor on their own homes and homes of other family partners. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are recycled into a revolving Fund for Humanity that is used to build more homes.
Habitat welcomes individuals of all faiths to participate in its mission. There is no discrimination based on religion, race, gender or age for any activities associated with this program.

If you actually think bill O'Riley would actually be a good prez, you are woefull misguided. The extreme conserve movements within the Republican Party wont last forever. Softmoric, moronic, closed-minded, pathological liars like O'Riley verge on fanaticism. What they seem to want is to facilitate the movement of the United States to a Consumerist Dictatorship. They preach small government and under the stewadship of the past three Republican Presidents the Size of the Government has expanded dramatically.

Though O'Riley could try and run for president, he is so polarized that many moderate republicans probably wouldn't even vot for him.

He would be the worst president ever voted into offece should he be elected

While I would not exactly want O'Reilly in office, there are people that I don't want in office even more, and I'm not the kind of asshole to waste my vote on an independent who has almost no chance of success. If O'Reilly ran against, say, Hillary Clinton, or Al Sharpton, or some fuck-up like Dean or Kerry, I think I would have to go with O'Reilly. But in most situations, I'd go with the dem.

I'd support him. He's better than most republican or democratic names I could mention. Not to mention he gets flak from both sides of the aisle.

Not to mention, he's usually right.

Never watched his show, but I assume I know his kind...

Economic: Poor - further big spending while undermining the tax base and at the same time fostering more inequality.

Social: No idea, but I'd expect him to be a conservative guy, so that would give him an automatic "poor".

Foreign: He'll start wars with France, China, both Koreas, Syria and Iran (in that order), so that qualifies as pretty piss-poor.

If you haven't watched his show then how do you know his kind?

Economic: Poor - further big spending while undermining the tax base and at the same time fostering more inequality.

He's actually for equality as well as for a balanced budget.

Social: No idea, but I'd expect him to be a conservative guy, so that would give him an automatic "poor".

Don't assume to much.

Foreign: He'll start wars with France, China, both Koreas, Syria and Iran (in that order), so that qualifies as pretty piss-poor.

I doubt he'll start a war.

Bill O'Reilly for President of the USA 2008:

What kind of President do you think he would make (Excellent, Great, Good, Fair, or Poor)?

- Not half as good a President as he would make a shill for skincare products. Read that as 'poor'.

What kind of economic, political and social policy would he adopt?

- Whatever would deliver him a second term in office. Beyond that, whatever his handlers tell him he will adopt.

What kind of foreign policy would he adopt?

- See answer above.

Which US President would you compare him to?

- I'll reserve judgement on that until after he's sworn in.

Should this thread get a lot of posts?

- It'll probably get three times as many responses as are really warranted, half of which will be wisecracks and guffaws.
