Who's
Looking Out for You?
by BILL O'REILLY
Amazon.com Review
As he did in his bestselling books The O'Reilly Factor and The No Spin
Zone, TV and radio host Bill O'Reilly again blasts a host of selfish and
corrupt individuals and institutions for threatening the nation's well-being--no
surprise there. What is surprising is the personal tone of Who's Looking
Out For You, which is as much self-help as social or political commentary.
Is O'Reilly getting soft? Hardly. He still packs a punch, but this time
he mixes tales of outrage with practical advice gleaned from his own experiences
and mistakes. The underlying theme of the book is trust. If you can identify
and associate with those that deserve your trust, he argues, you will get
along well in both your personal and professional life. Among those external
forces undeserving of trust, according to O'Reilly, are the media (particularly
harmful to children, he warns), the legal system, and the government: "Our
federal government is not good at helping real people who have real problems,
and it doesn't care about the money you give it as long as that revenue
train keeps chugging along," he writes. He also hammers the INS for their
lax stance on illegal immigrants and the damage it has caused the country,
irresponsible parents, secularists, network news executives, ideologues,
and minority leaders who foster hatred in order to serve their own interests,
to name just a few offenders. Though some of his advice tends toward the
obvious, it is hard to argue with his emphasis on self-reliance, especially
at a time when the answer to the question posed in his title seems to be
"just me." It's a good bet that many readers will also add Bill O'Reilly
to this list. --Shawn Carkonen
