First it was Donald Trump who destroyed Reagan's 11th commandment of not speaking ill of a fellow republican which is the reason the republican Presidential campaign is in such a funk. Conservative journalists usually do not speak ill of their fellow conservative journalists but now comes George Will the conservative journalist for the Washington Post in a Times Picayune article dated 11/7/15 titled, "Slandering Reagan: The Assault That Defamed a Presidency" said Bill O'Reilly's book, Killing Reagan distorts Reagan's Presidency.
Will takes a shot at O'Reilly styling himself as an investigative historian and then points out O'Reilly's conclusions about Reagan that do not square with the facts. Will also hits O'Reilly's use of flimsy evidence in the book. Will ended the article by saying, "the book should come with a warning: CAUTION: You are about to enter a no-facts zone.
"PolitiDose" long ago said the Bill O'Reilly show was the biggest spin zone in television. Now George Will confirms that because a no-fact zone is the same as a spin zone. And of course the Fox News Network is the biggest spin zone in cable TV. Will is right on target concerning O'Reilly who is not really a journalist but try's to play the role when ever he thinks it is necessary.
O'Reilly is one of many who claim they are conservative but really are not. They are extremist with an agenda which define themselves as being elite. George Will's article did a good job in defining O'Reilly as a person who lives and writes in the spin zone. And that really says it all.
