“Last month I received an e-mail from my alma mater, Boston University, containing the following invitation: ‘Save the Date! Alumni Weekend! October 23. A Conversation with Bill O’Reilly: ‘A Bold Fresh Look at the Future of News.” The BU college hosting the event? The College of Communication (COM), home to the university’s Department of Journalism. In addition to a ‘conversation’ between the face of FOX’s The O’Reilly Factor and another BU alum, Bill Wheatley (retired executive vice-president of NBC News), the evening will include a presentation of six ‘Distinguished Alumni Awards,’ an honor already bestowed upon Mr. O’Reilly. See anything wrong with this picture?” (10/21/09)
