Bill O’Reilly Needs Facts!

A New York Post feature headlined “A Day in the Life of Bill O’Reilly” offers this insight into life working for the Fox host:

“The staff of 15 meets 7:30 every morning. Working for me, you’ve got to be a Navy SEAL. No mistakes. I need facts, or it’ll get rammed down my throat.”

Huh. When did this “no mistakes” policy start?

Of course, some former employeesof O’Reilly recall a slightly different workplace experience….

Bill O’Reilly is quite a character. Sometimes I forget he is real.

What’s FAIR

FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation. We work to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.
