Following the huge success of his TV show and his first #1 New York Times Bestseller, Bill is back with his second book: "The No Spin Zone: Confrontations With the Powerful and Famous in America". As on his TV and Radio programs, Bill uses his literary 'air time' to champion his version of traditional American values including "truth, common sense, and decency". Topics that get the O'Reilly treatment in this excellent book range from the death penalty to taxes and personalities discussed (and often interviewed) range from John McCain to Susan Sarandon. As always, Bill's mission is to help focus on the truth behind current societal fashion and to uncover the truth amidst the constant "spinning" of the media.
Following up on his runaway New York Times bestseller, The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly delivers another strong dose of no-holds-barred advice and unvarnished truth for America.
In The No Spin Zone Bill is even madder than when he wrote his first non-fiction bestseller The O'Reilly Factor and fans like you 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 Bill 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 delivers not only his opinions, but the documented attitudes of the country?s movers and shakers as well. The No Spin Zone demonstrates just why Bill 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.
"All I ask is for powerful people to respond honestly to the questions, and if they can't, explain why," says Bill. In The No Spin Zone he excerpts past interviews with various memorable opponents, including:
·James Carville on Bill Clinton
·Dr. Laura on working mothers
·Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders on sex education
·Puff Daddy on rap music
·Susan Sarandon on police brutality
·Al Sharpton on boycotts
·Dan Rather on news stories the media overlooks
Also: James Ellroy contributes an afterword to The No-Spin Zone. He is a famed novelist and journalist who profiled Bill for the magazine GQ. His latest book is The Cold Six Thousand.
Regular viewers of his TV program and listeners to Bill's radio show know that the No Spin Zone is where "lies are rejected and equivocations are mocked".
This is the unabridged edition narrated by Bill O'Reilly.
