Lately, the guests on the left who make "The O’Reilly Factor" fun have been lesser figures for whom an on-air confrontation with
Bill O’Reilly is a journey to the big time, says
Nicholas Lemann. "O’Reilly is not only bigger than these people; he’s usually also smarter, handsomer, better spoken, better groomed, and more sophisticated."
MORE LEMANN: "No television host’s career lasts forever, and it may be that O’Reilly is too hot, too close to entertainment, to maintain his position as long as a network anchorman might."
