On the heels of his runaway New York Times bestseller, The O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly delivers another strong dose of no-holds-barred advice and the unvarnished truth for America.
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 Reverend Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and 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. Examining sex and violence in the media and the tarnished legacy of the Clintons with the same feistiness as the death penalty (which he opposes) and timid national news organizations that roll over for the powerful, Bill O’Reilly delivers not only his opinions, but the documented attitudes of the country’s movers and shakers as well. It demonstrates just why O’Reilly has become the most successful, the most controversial, the most beloved (by some), and the most disliked (by others) figure in television news today_and a culture hero to tens of millions of everyday Americans. And that’s fact, not spin.
Whether you agree or disagree with O'Reilly, love him or hate him, the time spent reading this book is time well spent. Bill O'Reilly forces you to THINK about the important, hot button issues that we all face in today's world.

I enjoy O'Reilly's radio and TV show. This was just more of the same in print format, nothing new here. I'll spend my time reading fun fiction and keep up with Bill from here on out with my radio.
Interesting information but if you are a fun of the show, you have already seen the episodes O'Reilly fan but if you have read most of his books as I have you might be disappointed with this one - it seems to just be a recap of certain show episodes. I enjoy more fact and reporting.
I enjoyed this book. Bill O'Reilly is one of my favorite pundants. The corruption within this beloved country needs to be told. People need to wake up to how the government exploits our tax money for whimisical programs and out and out fraud. Rememeber what our country was founded on. Good book
