Bill O'Reilly is a generally conservative commentator and host of the show The O'Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel, which he calls the "No Spin Zone." O'Reilly calls himself a "traditionalist" and an "independent."
O'Reilly's career was growing throughout the 1980s, but he received his "big break" when hired to anchor Inside Edition, a tabloid gossip and news program.[1]
The O'Reilly Factor is the highest-rated hour on any cable news channel. Over 2.5 million people watch the show each night and millions more listen to his own radio show.[2]
Politically, he has always claimed he is an independent on "The O'Reilly Factor" (1996). But, it was later revealed that O'Reilly was actually a registered Republican in Nassau County from 1994 to 2000. O'Reilly re-registered as an independent soon after.[3]
O'Reilly has condemned white racist prejudice against U.S. blacks.
He is deeply disliked by many on the far-left.
Trivia
- O'Reilly and liberal talk-show host Stephen Colbert have appeared on each others' shows.[4]
