Bill O'Reilly: Fact Free For Over 40 Years

Stop It Bill, You’re Killing Me…No Seriously, I Mean It

Inside The “Mind” of Bill O’Reilly

April 17, 2015

Bill O’Reilly, who spends much of his time on air and in print telling people how they should behave, was recently stripped of custody of his two young children, one of whom told the court that she saw her father drag her mother down a staircase by her neck, apparently unaware that she was watching. O'Reilly, purveyor of hate, bullying, ignorance and endless fabrications, continues to spew bile and garbage on Fux News’ The O’Reilly Factor. As of late he has “authored” (he shares writing credit with a presumed actual writer on every book) numerous books containing even more fictitious nonsense. His titles include, "Killing Lincoln," "Killing Kennedy," “Killing Jesus” and "Killing Patton," and he is rumored to be working on yet another book. One can only hope it is entitled “Killing O’Reilly.” The O’Reilly Factor’s viewership has been steadily dwindling for years now, though it remains the most watched show of its kind on cable. His ratings recently took an uptick about which O’Reilly was quick and constant to boast. 

O’Reilly’s obsessed with the killing of people we wish had lived, with

the possible exception of Patton, who hated Jews and admired the Nazis

What the man not-yet-Senator Al Franken called Bill O’Liely failed to mention was that his ratings spike was due to curiosity of those typically content to ignore cable “news’s” biggest bully and most prodigious liar. The curiosity emerged after countless accusations of making stuff up after the departure of NBC’s Brian Williams, who recently found himself under scrutiny for what I will call, “pulling an O’Reilly.” Once a number of Williams’ embellishments on reality came to light, some thought it a good time to dig up some of O’Reilly’s more creative moments. Some of these were even more creative than his versions of history found in his “Killing” series. Anyway, O’Reilly’s viewing audience has more to worry about than sorting through the big guy’s Fact-or-Fiction repertoire. The average age of his audience is 72 years. Less than 15 percent of his audience fell within the key demographic of 25-54 years. Face it Bill, the only thing your audience likes less than you is dying. Time to start that next book big guy. The public is anxious to see your name and the word killing in the same sentence.

O’Reilly logs Lincoln-lies

I don’t know about his other books, but Killing Lincoln was initially rejected by the National Park Service, which manages Ford's Theatre, and made the decision not to allow the edition of the book containing a variety of errors to be sold at the Eastern National Bookstore located in the Museum at Ford’s Theatre National Historic Site.

One of the few people Jesus would revile

Killing Jesus was unsurprisingly panned as a work of fiction, not the historical tome O’Reilly claimed it to be. What a surprise. When your thoughts turn to whom to “Kill” next, please take a good long look in what I’m sure is your very large mirror, and then go grab a good sharp pencil. Martin Dugard will do the rest.

I. Mangrey. Makin’ stuff up so you don’t have to.

Admittedly, no match for O'Reilly.
