Bill O'Reilly, FOX News commentator and host of the political talk show The O'Reilly Factor, is known for expressing his opinions. Is he "fair and balanced" or unabashedly partisan? In The World According to Bill O'Reilly, his words speak for themselves: "Once the war against Saddam Hussein begins, we expect every American to support our military, and if you can't do that, just shut up. Americans, and indeed our foreign allies who actively work against our military once the war is underway, will be considered enemies of the state by me." "Putting your ego above the welfare of others equals the loss of all credibility." "Americans deserve honest, fair reporting from all news organizations. In this age of terror, we must have accurate information and hear both sides of issues in order to adequately protect ourselves and our families. This is not a conservative/liberal issue. This is an honesty issue. The country needs its premier newspapers to be trustworthy and look out for us, but not so be bitterly ideological that they can't report the news straight."
