As you may know from Reading Al Franken's book (p79), Bill O'Reilly has a novel that he wrote a few years ago and contains some graphic sex and violence. Which makes his rants against the violence in rap a little HYPOCRITICAL, no?
Also, in Franken's book you learn that O'Reilly spins his own hometown. Franken points out that Bill claims to have grown up in the "Westbuy section of Levittown, ny". These are two seperate towns 7MILES apart that Bill uses to show that his childhood wasn't middle class suburban...which it is (and is for a lot of people, so why the shame?). Anyway, a quick view on Mapblast will show you the distance between the two (7.1 Miles). Despite Franken calling out this obvious SPIN, Bill's bio on Foxnews.com still contains this misrepresentation (as of 5 minutes ago).
So, as I'm reading the hypocrites bio, I learn that Mel Gibson's production company has optioned O'Reilly's novel...mentioned above. I don't watch Bill too often, so maybe you can tell me, when Bill was heaping praise on the Passion of the Christ did Bill mention his financial partnership?
