“Killing Reagan,” a new book by FOX Noise personality Bill O’Reilly is filled with ‘claims and rumors’ which have long been debunked by historians. If you have followed the well-known prevaricator, this should come as no surprise. He has become an extremely wealthy man as a pretend journalist and an author of fiction. He claims that his books are accurate and factual, but this has proven to be untrue. I’m shocked! Someone from FOX was not telling the truth? Nearly impossible to believe.

An article in the Washington Post by authors who have written 19 books about Reagan, and numerous articles, criticizes O’Reilly for inaccuracies, and a failure to reveal his sources for statements he alone claims are true.

Old accusations of long naps, sleeping through meetings, and a propensity to watch old movies instead of attending to the work expected of a standing president are revived. There is much made of the Reagans and their belief in astrology. The unproven accusation that Reagan’s inner circle considered removing him from office via the 25^th amendment after John Hinckley,’ assassination attempt was revived.

Those who have written biographical accounts of Reagan’s term in office call “Killing Reagan” garbage.

O’Reilly is once again proving that he will do anything for profit. With a presidential election just over a year in the future, what better time than to write a book about the GOP demagogue?

O’Reilly has no shame. He looks straight into the camera and lies to those not intelligent enough to watch a rerun of “the Beverly Hillbillies” instead of listening to his personal rants. He continues to prove that he is nothing more than a tool of conservatives. Money is his GOD and he is unable to find even a semblance of truth for his entertainment show or his works of literary fiction.
