investigation. o reilly i mean there s some amazing irony here, which is how o reilly in some ways really made his first mark the first big story that put him on the map was what? well, so i reported this extensively in my book. in 1998 when o reilly led the charge on the monica lewinsky scandal, going after clinton night after night, his ratings exploded 400%. this is the grand irony of this whole thing. this is a guy who made his career on outrage and going after, you know, someone s sexual activity and is brought down by the same thing. the monica lewinsky story was the story. he d been on air for a few years but the thing floundering on air. the thing that made him the titan was night in, night out this kind of moral he was the moral presence calling to carpet the president for his sexual impropriety. what i m so shocked by, and actually not shocked but i think about it, is the fox news audience remains incredibly
