Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-30 00:00:00 Anthony German A scathing catalog of Bill OReilly's misinformation. What's important to keep in mind is this is not a book of opinions that deride Bill OReilly. Peter Hart makes a point to remind his readers that there "is nothing wrong with a conservative commentator." It is merely a book that points out OReilly's argumentative tactics that twist statements of fact from experts and guests into baseless opinions, his inconsistent positions which leave him taking one side one day and acting as if he was on the other side the whole time three shows later, and his nearly 100% refusal to admit his errors. Peter Hart believes that OReilly probably does believe what he says. I'm in agreement. If OReilly's a journalist, he's terrible at his job. If he has a team of fact checkers, they should be fired for getting almost everything wrong. The only problem is then: how do we get his loyal audience to realize his errors without thinking it's just a liberal scheme, or propaganda put out by the "liberal media"? Not that it was the intention of the book to offer a solution, but it would be nice to have one.
