O'Reilly Size Me
As part of my media-culture thesis at the University of Levittown, I
wanted to determine how much, if any, heavy doses of particular
broadcasts affects the mental, emotional and physical health of the
viewer or, in some cases, viewee.

That lead me to Bill O’Reilly. As an admitted liberal, card-carrying
member of the ACLU and enthusiastic contributor to PETA, I knew I had to leave my beliefs and bias at door. I would watch and listen to Bill O’Reilly everyday for a month. Two hours of radio in the morning and one hour every evening on Fox TV. This type of trial is always risky, but to advance the study of culture influences on mankind, I’d listen to Al Franken.

To produce a clear distinction between the O’Reilly effect and not let extraneous environmental conditions bias the study’s results, when O’Reilly wasn’t on the air, I would read O’Reilly’s books, fiction and non-fiction, adult and kids and spend the balance of each day poring over BillOreilly.com.
