The O’Reilly Factor
From RationalWiki
The O'Reilly Factor is an American talk show on the Fox News Channel hosted by commentator Bill O'Reilly. It is possibly the worst neo-fascist program on American television, competing with Sean Hannity but outranking Glenn Beck in sheer turdiness.
Although it claims to be a "No Spin Zone" it is, in fact, spinning so quickly that viewers are often taken ill and feel nauseated. The idea is similar to the rotation of helicopter blades. If they spin fast enough, they appear to be spinning very slowly in the opposite direction, or not at all. As they spin, one grows sleepy… very sleepy… I vill vote right-ving. I vill vote right-ving.
There is a selection of humorous clips from the show, including one where a high-school student ends up sounding significantly more intellectual than O'Reilly, (although this isn't generally considered a difficult task), and another from his early days, where he has a fit at the Autocue. It is recommended that these clips are watched in moderation, as the aforementioned 'helicopter blade effect' may begin to cause nausea if one is exposed to the show for too long.

In October 2004, he was sued by a former Factor producer for sexual harassment. He is reported to have suggested that he phoned her and advised her to use a vibrator. The multi-million dollar suit was settled out of court. The terms are, of course, confidential, but it is believed that O'Reilly paid multi-millions of dollars to her as "hush" money.[1]
