The O'Reilly Factor - The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life (Electronic book text)

The million-copy" New York Times" bestseller from the Fox News anchor who's brought new excitement -- and massive amounts of populist common sense and rock-solid honesty -- to television news. Now four seasons strong, Bill O'Reilly's nightly cable news program, "The O'Reilly Factor," is one of the hottest shows on the air. In book form, "The O'Reilly Factor" has sold over a million copies and spent fourteen weeks at the top of the "New York Times" bestseller list. Obviously, Bill O'Reilly has made his mark.

Bill O'Reilly, this brash New York guy with a brash show and a brash book, is becoming a huge media star."

No wonder O'Reilly's ratings are rising the way the stocks once did." "FORBES" "Personalanecdote meets political discourse in "The O'Reilly Factor"] where O'Reilly is in a pure, heartfelt state. He's softhearted and enraged in equal measures. He's hard-driven
