From the mega-bestselling author of The O'Reilly Factor and The No Spin Zone, a no-holds-barred exposé of the people and institutions who are letting Americans down - and what we should do about it.
Bill O'Reilly is mad as hell - and he's not going to let you take it anymore. In his most powerful and personal book yet, this media powerhouse and unstoppable truth-teller takes on those individuals and institutions in American life who are failing in their duties - big-time. In his inimitable style, mixing wit, pugnacity, and plain common sense, O'Reilly kicks butt and takes (and also names) names - from crooked corporate weasels to venal politicians to lazy and/or politically correct bureaucrats to sexually predatory priests and the Church hierarchy that protects them to a media establishment rife with political bias and economically hooked on violence and smut. At the same time that he calls the famous and powerful to account, he dares to get personal, questioning just how much our closest friends, families, and lovers do look out for us, and delivering a powerful message about personal responsibility and self-reliance in an uncertain world. He forces us to ask just how much genuine altruism is left in a society that thrives on self-indulgence and ruthless competition. Who's Looking Out for You? is a book that boldly confronts our worst fears and biggest problems in a post-9/11, post-corporate-meltdown world. Its sage, candid advice on regaining control and trust in these troubled times will resonate with the millions of readers and viewers who have come to believe in Bill O'Reilly as the man who speaks for them.

"So sad"!!:
People hate O'Reilly because he says it how it is, and people don't like that! Since when is having morals and values radical? No matter what anyone says..."THINGS WILL NOT GET BETTER"! I love it that O'reilly socks it to them, and makes them squirm! Nice!!
It's not Bill looking out for me:
I read Bill O'Reilly's "Who's Looking Out for You" a couple of years ago but I have now only begun to write a review of his book. Bill defends the program where Guatemala death squad members got paid by the CIA for information on communist individuals. Isn't this the utilization of situational ethics where one has to judge an act as a necessary evil (the paying of money to a bunch of thugs) for a greater good? Later in the book Bill states that he let Michael McGough "have it right between his politically... more info
O;Reilly - Who;s Looking Out For You:
Good read. Interesting background. Helps to understand his viewpoints and what got him there.
Loved this book!:
This was the first O'Reilly book that I had ever read, and I was extremely pleased! If you enjoy watching Bill on television, you will love this book. It is very conversational, and sounds a lot like how he used to talk (before he got overly partisan and kind of ridiculous). This book is the O'Reilly that shot him to the top of the television ratings, and you will truly enjoy it!
