Bill O’Reilly will speak at the Drew Forum, Sat. Feb 13, 2016

Contemporary Authors

Bill O’Reilly is nothing if not contemporary. His power to stir things up is shown in literature criticism reproduced here, such as “Spin Cycle” and “The Pinhead Factor,” and biographical notes titled “Fear Factor” and even audio excerpts like “Conservative Pundits Wage War Of Words And Finger-Pointing.”

Culture Wars in America: An Encyclopedia of Issues, Viewpoints, & Voices

O’Reilly would probably be pleased to see himself profiled in this reference book, which refers to him a “A self-described ‘culture warrior,’” summarizes his favorite topics, and describes his interaction with other media stars such as Stephen Colbert.

International Index to the Performing Arts

O’Reilly’s status as a media performer is reviewed here in articles like: “'Fresh' Rant for O'Reilly,” “Analysis: The Smear Hunter ,” “Bill O'Reilly: Fair and operatic?” and “Mad Dog! "Shut Up!" and Other Deep Thoughts from the Angry Mind of Bill O'Reilly,” but this resource also includes material about inter-network conflicts, O’Reilly’s movie Killing Jesus, Al Franken’s book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them, and in a bigger view, the trend of news shows turning to pundits rather than politicians.

Encyclopedia Britannica, Wikipedia, and Conservapedia

Britannica, Drew’s subscription to the venerable uber-encyclopedia, not surprisingly, gives a dry, just-the-facts profile of “his cultivated image as a gruff plainspoken commentator”:  http://www.britannica.com/biography/Bill-OReilly

Wikipedia, the crowdsourced encyclopedia, gives a more detailed, if more controversial, view—be sure to see the Talk page for several hundred disagreements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_O%27Reilly_(political_commentator)

Conservapedia, a specialized user-created competitor to Wikipedia to address conservative topics, mostly covers O’Reilly’s departures from conservatism:
