Summary: Bill O'Leilly exposed!
Review: It's funny how some people who make a living of exposing (or attacking) others get exposed so nakedly...yes I am talking about Al Franken's book Lying (Bill O'Leilly) Liars...If you read that book instead, you'll spend much more quality time.Only good thing is that people are getting sick and tired of this nonstop arrogant, self-righteous, hate-filled vitriol from the right wing media outlets (Rush/Hannity/Booz et al. on radio and Foxnews on TV). That's why books like "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" and "Dude, Where's My Country?" remain on Amazon's top 10 list for 8-10 weeks. O'Lielly's recent encounter with NPR was rather disgusting. Unlike FNC, NPR is comprised of decent people. Unlike FNC, we listen to some unbiased news at NPR that include CBC, and world-accepted news media BBC. I would give this book a negative rating if it was available.

Summary: o'reilly looks out for your cash
Review: Do not buy this book!
I have now 'looked out for you' more than this book ever will! The book is badly written, it is in desperate need of grammer...and dont get me started on the content! I always knew that O'reilly was a hard lined radical conservative, but this book borders on the ridiculous!

Summary: Is _anyone_ looking out for me?
Review: With his typically strident tone and biting cynicism, Bill O'Reilly tackles the enduring question: who's looking out for you? His conclusion: no one. While I can generally tolerate his critical perspectives, as he is often right and always true to his beliefs, he really went out of his element on some questions. For example, he summarily dismisses atheists as amoral and unspiritual, while completely ignoring the primary issues that compel secular humanists and existentialists to reject the traditional notion of God. O'Reilly, quite hypocritically, despises dogmatic claims but advances many of his own. There are many good points in the book, but one really ought to be prepared to be put in a bad mood by this book. These are issues we need to address, but one can put a positive spin on them, even in the "No-Spin Zone". He is a master at exposing injustice and corruption (for this, we all owe him a deep dept of gratitude), but he is always short on offering constructive solutions to endemic problems. His writing is generally clear and non-academic. Nonetheless, he often splits metaphors and mixes parables like a horse at a river who can't find nuts. Huh? Exactly. It was hard for me to give this book 4 stars, but I didn't have to force myself to read it, a personal requirement for anything less. Perhaps I am just too generous.

Summary: Is Amazon.com looking out for you?
Review: I usually like to see a balanced set of reviews for the books reviewed on Amazon.com. I am glad Amazon provides this service, since readers' reviews have become a great force for good in my life to help me choose what books I spend my valuable free time with. As of my personal review here, there have been 350 reviews at Amazon to date on "Who's Looking Out For You?". The average rating for the book is 3 stars. Yet when I pulled up "Who's Looking Out For You?" here on Amazon to read the reviews about it, every single review (6 out of 6 reviews) on the page was 1 star. And in some cases most people said the review "was not helpful" to them. (16 of 31, 38 of 56, 0 of 4, 4 of 16, 6 of 17, and 7 of 23 people found the reviews of 1 star on the first page to be helpful.) Who chooses the 2 reviews that made the front page? The reviews were given weeks ago. Is Amazon looking out for you? I actually appreciate seeing negative comments on books I want to read just to put me in check. Can't the reverse be true as well? Could it be that Amazon is promoting an agenda? Franken's book got 4 stars on average, but the first two reviews gave 5 stars and 4 stars, respectively. If Amazon chose those reviews in the same way as it chose the O'Reilly reviews, it seems the first two Franken reviews would have been from somebody who gave 2 stars each. Again, is Amazon looking out for you? At any rate, people generally believe what they want to believe. Some are so ideological that they would deny the sun is shining in midday if it did not advance their cause. Maybe I am among them. However, as far as the book is concerned, is it any surprise that somebody would ask who is looking out for you? Isn't the basic premise of capitalism based on Adam Smith's (and others') idea that as human beings we are self-interested? I think the title of the book proves my point. Shouldn't people be more concerned about who they look out for than about who is looking out for them? Shouldn't we, as Americans, ask ourselves "Who Am I Looking Out For?" instead of the other way around? I could have sworn a liberal (JFK) said something to that effect. (Ask not who is looking out for you, but who you are looking out for.)

Summary: Enough Already
Review: Although I agree with his views on legalizing marihuana and against the death penalty, I can't help but laugh at his naivite and arrogance. He is a very powerful man, unfortunately. I hope that his current "jihad" on NPR is not as successful as things he has done in the past. Like him or not, one has to admit that Bill does represent a lot of small town Americans. Read the book if you want to understand the conservatives. They love him:) But don't buy it new, please ...

Summary: dis-appointed
Review: If you are a regular viewer of The O'Reilly Factor, you have already heard him say all of the information on his program. I did't learn anything new. Just the same old diatribe he says on a daily basis. I am very dis-appointed. and glad I did't pay full price for this.

Summary: Best Book Ever!
Review: Who's Looking Out For You by Bill O'Reilly is an extension of The O'Reilly Factor. This time it's O'Reilly's turn to give a few words of advice and to point out who in America really is looking out for you. O'Reilly offers words of wisdom to live by that would have taken other people a lifetime to figure out (or if they ever do).
Bill O'Reilly has compassion for the American people. He makes sure that the corrupt and the powerful won't screw over the average honest, hard-working American. If you want to live your life to the max, read this book. Those who are ignorant, hate O'Reilly, or refuse to take his advice are doomed to live in misery. Those who live by O'Reilly's advice will make the most out of life and live the best life possible.

Summary: A crusader with no sense of humor.
Review: Great points about the secular society.I just wish he'd devlop a sense of humor about himself. And he is never wrong.
Too negative. By the end of the book, I felt like nothing and no one were worth anything. But, read it. It will make you think.

Summary: All around good book
Review: I thought this was a fair book of several subjects. He does not demonize anybody but fairly questions leaders in America. People need to make their own conclusions, but often people are deceived in the information they receive. O'reilly points out how to stick to the high road.
