Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly

[Gencor]

I agree with both of you that money and ego could be part of it but I honestly think that Bill O'Reilly thinks of himself as some kind of authority on history and getting these crazy books published is his own confirmation of it. I realize that he has the name but I still don't get why a publishing company would get behind something as inadequate as this. I realize it is because O'Reilly has a big name and following and the profits from sales are high but this only feeds the ignorance of people who are being fooled into believing that they are learning something and they don't know it isn't all the truth.

I worry more and more about what is happening to our history. It seems that people can get anything published these days and when it comes to accurate history, publishers have really lowered their standards and in turn, the public is cheated.
