I figured we should probably start up a reference list of Bill O'Reilly "Greatest Hits." Feel free to add to this list, there's plenty of stuff out there. --Skinner
I can't believe nobody has added anything to this list yet. This thread has been viewed 250 times, but *nobody* could think of a single thing to add to it? I would think this topic would be like shooting fish in a barrel for DU. --Skinner
Ok - Guilty I was here and about to leave when I read your last message - I added the smokinggun article. --stop the bleeding
"V for Vendetta" reviews - references to O'ReillyIf there's any question about the film's political targets, Vendetta opens with a ridiculously racist and homophobic screed by Prothero, the Bill O'Reilly-like "Voice of London" who speaks on what appears to be the country's only television channel. "The former United States is the world's biggest leper colony," he spits. "And it wasn't because of the immigrants, the Muslims or the homosexuals, or the war that they started. No," he says. "It's because they're Godless!"... - The Tyee
The “Voice of London” character is a brutish lout, comparable to conservative bully Bill O’Reilly, and the government, like the Fox-TV network, skews, screens, and even creates the news stories that litter the airwaves. V’s terrorist attacks are spun positively for damage control, and the stories create a “culture of fear” (even specifically mentioning the Avian flu) that is supposed to keep the citizens docile and scared, lest they ask too many questions. - Scene Stealers
The setting is the near future, in a totalitarian Great Britain, and V has enemies of many stripes, including assorted government flunkies, Bill O'Reilly-style TV broadcasters, slimy men of the cloth and doctors guilty of performing unethical tests on internment-camp prisoners. - Salon
The station has its own Bill O'Reilly figure in the blowhard Prothero (Roger Allam). And the chancellor has his own Dick Cheney in Creedy (Tim Pigott-Smith), who aims his buckshot at Deitrich (Stephen Fry), a closet gay who mocks the chancellor in a TV comedy skit. - Rolling Stone
Prothero is an exaggeratedly animated Bill O'Reilly type (though much more extreme) who ends his nightly broadcasts with the sign off, "England prevails!" - Intergalactic Medicine Show
Other forms of social control include a snarling Bill O'Reilly type known as the Voice of London. – Village Voice
This film will be offensive to some as it takes shots at the Iraq War and at conservative television personalities types such as Bill O’Reilly. – KATU 2 Portland
Citizens are covered in hoods and subjected to torture (Abu Ghraib, anyone?), and if that doesn't sound overheated enough, there's a priest with a taste for young flesh, a popular bushy-browed TV demagogue who's like Bill O'Reilly crossed with Nixon… – people|Entertainment Weekly
Propaganda is dispensed via television, largely through the government network's shill who looks like Christopher Hitchens and brays like Bill O'Reilly. – New City Chicago
After a brief prologue about 17th-century Gunpowder Plot conspirator Guy Fawkes, we meet Evey (Natalie Portman) – the character also narrates – who works at the government TV network, where commentator Lewis Prothero (Roger Allam) – seemingly channeling Bill O’Reilly – covers up government misdeeds and stirs fear over Sutler’s strawman threat du jour. – LA City Beat
V for Vendetta has its own cast of resident demagogues--most of them homophobic, Muslim-fearing, Bible-beating conservative caricatures. There is England's new overlord, Chancellor Arthur Sutler (John Hurt), who looks a little like a decrepit hybrid of Saddam Hussein and Hitler, backed up by a Bill O'Reilly-style talk show tyrant (Roger Allam) and a scheming secret police chief (Tim Pigott-Smith). Such monstrosities channel the worst creations of Animal Farm, although the lesson here is more that after a certain point, all hated governments start to look alike. - Johns Hopkins Newsletter
A Bill O'Reilly-esque evil cable talk show host/wicked pharmaceutical billionaire/heinous military officer combo rolled into one character. - Debbie Schlussel (r/w b*tch)
Contrôle de l’information, surveillance constante des citoyens au nom de leur sécurité, tête dirigeante liée aux institutions d’extrême droite, tout y est. Incluant un animateur vedette, commentateur de l’actualité qui est un amalgame de Rush Limbaugh et Bill O’Reilly. - En Primeur
