Summary: We lie, you believe.
Review: Mr. O'Reilly has once again proven that the ability to scream on a tv show does not translate to any type of journalistic or literary ability. I found the book lacking both facts and style, leaving only O'Reilly's dull and combative personality. I am dumber for having read it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Refrain from purchasing
Review: This book has managed to accomplish one thing, it creates in the reader an insurmountable disgust and passionate hatred of the sort of shameless and factless rhetoric employed my Mr. O'Reilly. Anyone who struggles with mindless filth should NOT purchase this book. Book like this exploit the less educated members of society with mindless hollow rhetorical nonsense; which, manages to excite, but when analyzed for conceptual consistency and truth one comes up short. O'reilly generalizes and spin's like no other in his little "no-spin" zone. It amazes me that such patently false propaganda like "no-spin zone" and "fair and balanced" can be used without an uproar. Fox is by far the most right mainstream media outlet and O'reilly is the most conservative member. Not to mention the fact that the place where the most spin on tv occurs is O'reilly's show. Amazing truly amazing.....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: HAHAHA
Review: haha, this is great. Maddox, if you see this, you are trully the most powerful man in the world, and command quite a following.

As for O'reilly, I have seen him on TV at one time or another, and he does get annoying. He whines to much for an old guy. he needs to put more research and real facts into his show instead of all the repetitive catch phrases.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book is a good buy, if youre an INSANE NEO-CONSERVATIVE
Review: If you enjoy recycled neo-conservative trash thats biased to the point that it almost goes full circle and becomes unbiased, then have fun. If you realize Bill O'Reilly is 1000% (thats right, 1000) wrong and is a media tyrant, then give yourself a pat on the back.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just oh so sad...
Review: This book sux donkey balls. If I wanted to read a book full of assumptions, I'd read the Bible. Check out http://maddox.xmission.com for more info. And to think that O'Reilly was born in the U.S....let alone in the 20th century.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Luxury Bird Cage Lining
Review: This book would probably have been better had it not been "written" by one of the great morons in America today.

Few individuals epitomize the frothing-at-the-mouth, rabid stupidity of the Neo-con sheeple as thoroughly as Bill O'Reilly. What he lacks in intelligence and insight he more than makes up for with vitriol and volume. Unfortunately, in the written form, you can't actually hear him scream over you, so the whole delivery sort of loses its punch.

You could spend your money on this book...but why would you? If you're a neo-con who wants a good read, try the Bible. Neo-cons love to talk about the Bible, but few have ever read it.

If you're a liberal or moderate who just wants a good laugh or a glimpse into the disjointed world of mental illness, any of Oliver Sacks' books would make a far better read.

In short, what wouldn't make a better read? Save this one until AFTER you've read every other book in your library.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Definately Unbalanced
Review: The arguments in his book, though well structured, are HIGHLY biased, largely by his neoconservatism. They rely too much on made-up facts. And once those are cleared up by consulting dependable sources (i.e. not FAUX news), they are seen for the nutcase arguments they are. O'Reilly is hypocritical and unreliable, and I literally threw the book in the trash after I read it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible
Review: Bill O'rielly is a hypocrite and a dumb-ass. For more on him visit http://maddox.xmission.com

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If you were looking for crap, buy this book.
Review: That's right, this is the biggest waste of $4.50 (for a used copy) that amazon.com has to offer. Look no further tird hunters, you have found your prey. If you can get through the first chapter without laughing outloud at Bill's stupidity and crass generalization, you won't make it through the second unless you are a total dolt and have no ability to think for yourself. If you have any self respect, don't waste your money on this rag.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: "The No Spin Zone," Who's he kidding?
Review: The Oxford English Dictionary defines "Spin" as "a favourable bias or slant given to a news story." Hmmm, Sound familiar? According to O'Reilly, "Spin" is to "spin a lie" or untruth. I leave it up to the reader to decide which definition is correct.

I gave the book 2 stars for the interesting personalities that
O'Reilly talks about.

By the way, Mr. O'Reilly, who's looking out for me? Al Franken, that's who!!!!!!
