"The O'Reilly Factor" uncovers news items from the established wisdom and goes against the grain of the more traditional interview style programs. 
 
 The No. 1 cable news show at 8 p.m. for 10 consecutive years, O'Reilly's signature "No Spin Zone" cuts through the rhetoric as he interviews the players who make the story newsworthy. 
 
 Pushing beyond just the headlines, "The O'Reilly Factor" also features issues from local markets that do not find the national spotlight on other newscasts. 

 With Psy's "Gangnam Style" having recently surpassed Justin Bieber's "Baby" to become the most-watch YouTube video to date, Bill O'Reilly decided to dedicate an entire segment to deciphering the driving force behind the music video's success. 
 
 And who better to help him understand what people are thinking than Fox News's resident dime-store psychiatrist Keith Ablow — the "medical professional" who "resigned in protest" from the American Psychiatric Association over a disagreement on what constitutes a mental illness. 
 
 The five-minute meeting of the minds had many highlights, including Ablow's assertion that "Gangnam Style" was attractive to the masses because it was about "nothing," and that the song was mostly "without intelligible words." 
 
 O'Reilly held his own with quips about Psy being unlike Elvis because the latter "had a good voice, his songs had words," and "he put on a show," whereas the former is "a little fat guy from Pyongyang." (Psy is from the Gangnam District of Seoul, South Korea — hence "Gangnam Style.") 
 
 Without a shred of irony, Ablow concludes the segment by saying that enjoying "Gangnam Style" is wrong to the extent that "you use something to transport your way from real thought and deep feeling." 
 
 In other words, if you treat it like The O'Reilly Factor.

– Members of the Occupy Wall Street protest are growing skeevier and skeevier—at least in Bill O'Reilly's eyes. To hear him tell it, the "crackheads" are dealing dope, having al fresco sex, and drawing rats by the hordes in their festering campsite at Manhattan's Zuccotti Park, notes Gawker. Even his sympatico guests were a bit stunned by his characterization yesterday on the O'Reilly Factor. "They're not crackheads, Bill," corrected conservative author Margaret Hoover. "There's soft drugs—marijuana, stuff that you inhale. I personally haven't smelled it. My husband has." Her zinger? "It's a counter culture collective." Perhaps the right-wingers need to finally get on the same page about the protest. In this week's GOP debates, Newt Gingrich characterized some of the participants as "sincere middle-class people who, frankly, are very close to the Tea Party people." Of course they "clean up after themselves," as opposed to the left-wing "agitators" in the crowd, he noted. When told by a guest that the protesters support the social systems of Canada and Denmark, O'Reilly responded: "I love Canada and Denmark, so maybe I should join this group." Maybe so.
