Bill O’Reilly—Today
Today, O’Reilly and his influence on modern political narrative are nearly inescapable. The former host of celebrity TV magazine, Inside Edition, O’Reilly re-made himself into one of the highest-rated commentators on television, where The O’Reilly Factor airs nightly on Fox News. Of course, fame is not without its controversies – the ever-pugnacious pundit has been lambasted for a host of offenses, including his denunciation of the late George Tiller, a Kansas-based abortion doctor who was murdered in 2009, as well as for lesser transgressions, such as exaggerating his working-class roots.
