Bill O'Reilly is a commentator and host of the show The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, which he calls the "No Spin Zone."

In this vein, he has expressed support for some positions not traditionally associated with his political supporters including anthropogenic climate change and civil unions for both heterosexual and homosexual couples.
The O'Reilly Factor is the highest-rated hour on any cable news channel. 5 million people nightly watch the show and there are millions more who listen to him on radio stations. [1]
