Ha Ha, O'Reilly's a liar again:
From: Publishers Lunch:


Dude, Where’s Your Calculator?

Bill O’Reilly had some interesting things to say on The Today Show
yesterday (goaded, in part, by Matt Lauer, who doesn’t seem to know a
lot about how sales work himself):

LAUER: Number one on the best seller list. You have bumped
past Al Franken's book. Is there a little ecstasy in that
for you?

Mr. O'REILLY: We've outsold that guy all over the place.
We're running
against Hillary for most copies of non-fiction books sold
this year. That's who we want to beat, and that's why I'm
here talking with you. It's a delightful experience on the
TODAY show as always.

Without resorting to name-calling, those are claims that stand in sharp
contrast to, say, a glance at recent Nielsen Bookscan lists. Unless
"outsold that guy all over the place" actually means "have sold about half
as many units." By those same charts, Clinton has outsold O’Reilly by a
little less than three to one.
