More copies of this ISBN:The No Spin Zone: Confrontations with the Powerful and Famous in Americaby Bill O'Reilly
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Bill O’Reilly is even madder today than when he wrote his last book, The O’Reilly Factor, and his fans love him even more. He’s mad because things have gone from bad to worse in politics, in Hollywood, in every social stratum of the nation. True to its title, The No Spin Zone cuts through all the rhetoric that some of O’Reilly’s most infamous guests have spewed to expose what’s really on their minds, while sharing plenty of his own emphatic counterpoints along the way. Shining a searing spotlight on public figures from President George W. Bush and Senator Hillary Clinton to the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to his former CBS News colleague Dan Rather, The No Spin Zone is laced with the kind of straight-shooting commentary that has made O’Reilly the voice of middle America’s disenfranchised. Review:“This explosive anchor can be articulate, bombastic, scornful, witty, iconoclastic, passionate, persuasive, and sarcastic” Publishers Weekly Review:"This is not to say that O'Reilly never cuts through bull, as he claims. He does. He even makes an excellent point from time to time. But if he really wanted to make his father proud, he'd bite the bullet and subject himself to the bull detector. If he did, the first thing to go would be the pretense that he has any interest in "analysis." After all, this is a man who claims that all of our societal ills are caused by "cowardly parenting" and "corrupt national leadership." Period. No responsible thinker, on the right or the left, would promote such simplistic platitudes.
If you're looking for an intelligent, fair-minded, useful book exploring the issues of the day from a conservative perspective, I'd recommend skipping this one. If you're looking for the No Spin Zone, I'd recommend going back to high school." C. P. Farley, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review) Review:“[O’Reilly] is the Real McCoy. He’s the best reporter I’ve seen in years . . . He is smart, well-read, has good values . . . and he is fearless in picking targets.” Newsday Review:“[O’Reilly’s] brand of hard-nosed, regular-guy TV talk is here to stay.” –Newsweek Review:“[The No Spin Zone] vibrates with O’Reilly’s gruff Irish wit and elbows-on-the-bar social criticism.” –Atlanta Journal-Constitution About the AuthorA twenty-year veteran of the television industry, BILL O’REILLY has won two Emmy awards for excellence in reporting.
