.... That didn't take long, did it? Starting April 24th. O'Reilly returns with a new "No Spin News" in the form of a podcast .... for .... get this: only $49.95 per year!! I am sure he has a warehouse full of "No Spin" tchotchkes that he has to get rid of.

I have to admit the guy has some "chutzpah" .... or a lot of ego / greed. Me .... I would have taken the $25,000,000.00 and be on autopilot for the rest of my life.

Problem is, it's not the money he's after, it's the ego feed.

And guess what???? It seems that O'Reilly owns the trademarks for:

NO SPIN ZONE
THE SPIN STOPS HERE
PINHEADS AND PATRIOTS
DON'T BE A PIN-HEAD
BOLD & FRESH
THE BUCK STAYS HERE
RESTORE THE USA
MADE IN AMERICA AND PROUD OF IT
USA STRONG
NO SPIN
BILL O'REILLY

I guess no one has ever accused him of not knowing how to make $$. Oh, I love the name of his corporation: "BILL ME, INC."

Its a free country, if you don't like him, don't listen to him.
By the way, I am not a fan, but you have to hand it to him, he created a lot of value for Fox, and "himself"
I just don't get my undies in a bunch because someone has made himself/herself successful.

I reckon right now hes interested in bitch slapping the Murdock [bleep].

Hes not far enough to the right for my cup of whiskey, but I woulda turned off a lot of Dims who he educated to the point of not voting for Hillzry and many who did vote for Trump due to his revealing the stupidity of the progressive movement.

I was hoping President Trump would bypass the press and open Internet direct news presentation for the American people. I'm glad somebody with the name recognition has finally done this. While I'm not a big fan of O'Reilly, I might actually pay just in the hopes that It will keep it going bypassing the mainstream press.

Except for donating tens of millions to charity, and the majority of his charities are geared towards veterans and wounded soldiers. How many $15,000 track chairs have you purchased for Wounded Warriors? I'll give you some time to count them up and get back to me.

Regardless if someone likes his personality or not, and he certainly has some personality flaws, the man has done a lot of good with his money and held a lot of politicians accountable over the years.

Yeah that's why his recent history books alone have earned him 25 million, and his share of those proceeds which is 25 million, goes to charity. If you have knowledge that his are garbage then you should write the better one that is twice as good. 50 million would go a long ways.

I'm not defending his flaws and downfalls, but I'm gonna give credit where credit is due.

Same here.

O'Reilly just hasn't been my cup of tea for a good while now.

He turned a lot of parents against dimocraps by calling them out for not supporting Kates Law.

Well, i guess we've seen the end of that bit of conservitive legislation.

As shown in the article linked below, that is undoubtedly true.

While the article linked below indicates that he has made 24 million from the "Killing Books," (probably more), there is NO indication that "his share of those proceeds which is 25 million, goes to charity." If you have definitive evidence or authority for that claim, I suggest that you share it with us.

I read a lot of history and prefer my history books be written by actual historians who do real research and not cable TV blowhards. The inaccuracies and misstatements in O'Reilly's books are well documented, that's why the Reagan Library refuses to sell "Killing Reagan" and Ford's Theater refuses to sell "Killing Lincoln". Rappers earn a lot of money for what they do too, that doesn't mean their product is of any real value.

I can't imagine many people paying $50 to hear a podcast-especially when they got it free (relatively speaking) before

Common knowledge if you pay attention. Every time he promoted any of his new books as they came out he made it known the proceeds go to charity.

A quick search produced this article from USA Today. Hardly an O'Reilly fan. The article is written in November of this past yr about his latest released book. If you read the very last line of the article from USA Today, it states that proceeds from the sales of the book will go to charity. Now if you can prove the common claim that O'Reilly's book sales go to charity is false, have at it. Perhaps you would like to call up the NY Times or USA Today to dispute it?

While I don't claim to know any rappers personally, unlike O'Reilly they strike me as being all about themselves. Anybody that donates the proceeds of numerous #1 bestsellers to charity with a large portion of that charity going to veterans and wounded warriors gets a level of respect from me..

Nice try. I don't have to prove anything. You made the outrageous statement. Back it up. You cite one article relating to ONE child's book to support (your dubious claim) that ALL proceeds from ALL of O'Reilly's "history book" sales (25 million according to you) go to charity. While it is entirely possible that SOME profits or proceeds of O'Reilly's book sales are donated to charity, (and maybe some or all of the proceeds of ONE child's book were donated to charity), you still haven't been able to supply any facts, evidence, or credible authority (other than your bold assertion) that "... his recent history books alone have earned him 25 million, and his share of those proceeds, which is 25 million, goes to charity." Unless you are O'Reilly's CPA or tax attorney, or unless you work for the IRS and have personally seen his tax return, your statements are speculative, at best, and bogus, at worst. Come back to us when you have something meaningful to back up your claim, " ... his share of the proceeds, which is 25 million, goes to charity."
