My Take
What strikes me about Bill O'Reilly is the unlikely arc: a Manhattan kid who taught high school and played ball before becoming one of cable news' most combative figures. You can argue endlessly about his politics, but the craft underneath is real, two Emmys and national headliner awards don't fall from the sky. I'm most intrigued by his second act as a popular historian, the Killing series. Whether or not you buy the books, that restless drive to keep producing well past seventy tells you everything. Love him or loathe him, the man simply refuses to be quiet, and that conviction is his defining trait.
