For more than a decade, Fox News host Bill O ' reilly has ruled the cable airwaves. His controversial nightly show, 奥莱利因素, is cable’s highest rated news broadcast, with an average audience of six million viewers. 该节目以新闻分析和调查报道的结合以及广受欢迎的“无旋转区”（No Spin Zone）节目而闻名，但奥莱利偶尔也会偷偷地为慈善事业插上插头。

That’s one way O ' reilly’s fan base may have heard of the 发生在Alexa基金会身上, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance to the families of rape victims for travel-related expenses incurred during an attacker’s trial.

该基金会于2003年由波士顿大学学生亚历克莎·布兰奇尼的新濠影汇网上赌场创建。1999年，亚历克莎·布兰奇尼在波士顿大学的宿舍浴室遭到侵犯和强奸，当时她刚上大一两周。 袭击她的人被波士顿警方抓获，并被定罪，正在服刑40至45年。 除了长达16个月的审判带来的情感负担之外，每次庭审，布兰奇尼一家都要从纽约州布法罗（Buffalo）的家前往波士顿，承受经济压力。 这次经历使布兰奇尼夫妇决定帮助其他有类似情况的家庭支付旅行和住宿费用。

Foundation board member Wendy Murphy, who was Alexa’s lawyer and who teaches at 新英格兰法, says O ' reilly has been an unwavering supporter of the organization since she first approached him more than five years ago. 他的回答很简单：“这是一项伟大的事业。 帮我报名吧，’”她回忆起他说。 “这真的就是全部。”

Tonight, in the Metcalf Trustees Ballroom, O ' reilly (COM’75) will address a group of foundation supporters as the keynote speaker for its fourth annual Justice Is Served benefit. VIP票持有者将有机会提前见到福克斯新闻的明星。 The VIP event includes a book signing for O ' reilly’s latest work, 《刺杀林肯：永远改变美国的令人震惊的暗杀, and a photo opportunity with O ' reilly.

该基金会的使命与奥莱利的节目经常报道的主题一致——针对儿童的性暴力以及美国司法系统有时反应不足。 墨菲曾多次做客他的节目，她说她很感激他能引起人们对这样一个关键问题的关注。 墨菲说：“他确实带来了一种意识，我认为这种意识改变了人们理解这个问题的方式。” “我无法简单地表达他和我们在一起意味着什么。”

据该基金会称，在该基金会向受害者家庭提供经济援助的案件中，85%的案件最终被定罪。 该组织指出，如果没有它的参与，这一数字将降至5%。

墨菲说，她希望由于基金会的工作，“没有人会因为是否负担得起而选择寻求正义。”

今晚的正义为亚历克莎发生的事基金会举办的义演将于下午五点半在梅特卡夫董事会宴会厅举行，西尔伯路一号，毗邻的休息室将举行VIP招待会。 奥莱利将在当晚晚些时候发表主题演讲。

For more information on the 发生在Alexa基金会身上, or for tickets to the Friday, March 16, benefit, visit the 基金会的网站 or call 877-77ALEXA.

  1. Given Mr. O’Reilly’s highly politicized positions on issues, it is hard to consider him a “fair and balanced” news reporter. 大多数时候，我相信他是一个无情的傻瓜，滥用他的第一修正案的言论和新闻自由权。 This cause highlights a different face of Mr. O’Reilly’s character, and makes me review my previous perceptions of him. 同样令人欣慰的是，看到我们波士顿大学的社区团结起来，认真对待大学校园性侵犯问题。 I applaud Mr. O’Reilly and the “发生在Alexa基金会身上” in their effort to raise awareness, and I wish them the best of luck.

  2. If only “surprised student” were to tune into his show at 8 pm every night, she/he would find he has guests from both sides of the issue on a regular basis which report facts rather than just ‘speculate’ from the ‘left.

    1. Whoa I do watch the show and I’m not conservative nor am I at all liberal but the idea that you would even START to CONSIDER the IDEA of Bill O’Reilly and Fox News being “fair and balanced” says so many humiliating things about your level of intelligence. Especially if you’ve ever watched a full episode.

      用谷歌搜索一下。 维基百科。 Here’s a fun dose of antisemitism from the convicted sexual harasser too:

      当然，Media Matters是自由媒体精英的一部分。

    2. First off, it’s great that O’Reilly is supporting this organization, because I think it’s something that BU needs to recognize and take steps to prevent any such event happening in the future.

      莫, while you are correct that Bill O’Reilly does have guests from both sides of an issue, I hardly think that the O’Reilly Show is as factual as it claims to be, and neither is it “fair and balanced”. O’Reilly thinks the way to win an argument is to talk loudly and repeatedly about one’s opinion. 他经常说服客人，不给他们足够的时间表达意见。 如果他发现自己不同意他们的观点，他要么就说服他们，要么就采取低声下气的打击和廉价的攻击。 他的分析能力顶多是低于标准，甚至更差。

      You’re correct, O’Reilly does not speculate from the left. 他这样做是为了正义。 Sometimes the show has its merits, but most of the time it’s a waste.

  3. 莫, I highly recommend watching Outfoxed (http://imdb.com/title/tt0418038/) for a different perspective. In the same way 惊讶的学生 kept an open mind and read this article about someone she doesn’t particularly like or agree with, and finished with a renewed opinion, the film may enlighten you as well. 确认偏见很强烈，但在这个信息时代追求真理的过程中，你不同意寻找方法来证明你的信念是错误的比寻找信息来证实你已经相信的更有建设性和教育意义吗？

      1. I don’t disagree, 乔. 但是看看电影。

        原始素材。

        卡梅伦和布什谈论为他的竞选做志愿者的片段。

        You don’t have to take Greenwald’s commentary (I don’t) but the film has a great collection of footage/facts you can see with your EYES and hear with your EARS if you decide to use your senses.

        Something tells me you don’t do that too often though. 但我真的建议检查原始资料本身。

        Then, if you disagree with the thesis of that documentary…well I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Alaska.

  4. 在波士顿大学大约150名教授中，除了校长之外，只有4位教授决定支持Alexa基金会。 发出了150封信，4封回复。 In my opinion the reason being they don’t like O’Reilly’s “politics” not quite far enough to the left to satisfy the profs. 波士顿大学到底发生了什么事！

    1. It is my understanding that some professors officially did not support the event because of Mr. O’Reilly’s presence, but do you know exactly how many? I haven’t heard an exact number from O’Reilly or you. Many of the professors are not on campus this week because it’s Spring Break and they aren’t working. 也许许多人没有回应/支持是因为这个或其他原因。

      Basically, without a specific number, your broad, damning assumption that it’s all down to politics for all 150 invited professors is just as arrogant and ignorant as the professors who chose to politicize the event and openly stated as much.

  5. It says a lot that BU refuses to recognize Howard Stern as an alum, yet they love to talk up their O’Reilly affiliation; O’Reilly is as far right as Stern is left, and (in my opinion) at least as offensive. I wish the article focused more on the actual charity (helping rape victims) than it’s arbitrary connection with a former Alum.

  6. I hate politics… I wish people would just get over themselves (right and left-winged people alike)! You’re all so full of yourselves that you can’t step back and realize that philosophically, everyone is driven with valid backgrounds. 没有绝对的对与错！ 只有不同的有效思维过程。

    Essentially, get off O’Reilly’s back, his news spotlight is supposed to be entertaining…I can guarantee that the producers and he know they’re trying to rile people up because it makes the news more entertaining (save the reporting for the lead anchors who sit behind the desk with the news station’s name on it).

    1. Philosophy is great and all, but you’ll find yourself in a ‘philosophically’ difficult position if you are unable to say that you disagree with a person, let alone that you think they are “wrong”

  8. 我没有政治信仰。 真诚。

    但想到这家伙上电视就很麻烦。

    1. “no political persuasion.Sincerely”…yea, ok!
      Anyone who hasn’t said anything negative about O’Reilly you have chastised with insults and name calling. 然后你利用媒体作为你信息的来源。 你知道谁资助他们吗？ 真诚不是你的强项。

      1. 现在我喜欢罗恩·保罗。 But I’ve never voted.

        But wait…so the link from Media Matters is untrue??

        You mean the raw footage from Fox News wasn’t real???

        And the transcript of the court documents weren’t really court documents either??

        我希望我可以忽略基于网站金融家的主要来源和原始镜头。 I don’t have to “agree” with any motives of “Media Matters” to see the clips.

        你希望我从另一个来源得到同样的视频吗？ 还是那些文件？

        And yes, I’m afraid I’ve slipped a bit into a bit of name calling. You’re right, I should stop taking cues from my fellow “patriot.” Besides all of the clips I advise you to find of O’Reilly’s fondness for using middle school insults (raw clips from the show without the evil commentary from people with websites, right?) to attack anyone who disagrees with him (even if their dad died on 9/11), isn’t that the dude who has a book with “Pinheads” in the title?

  9. I think Bill O’Reilly really fits in at Fox news as it really has shown itself to be a very efficient and well run PR machine. 向那种组织寻求公正的信息似乎相当愚蠢。 like complaining about how he runs his show is putting the joke on you, because they know what their doing, and they probably don’t actually hold the views they sell to those who watch it

  11. Bill O’Reilly is representative of everything that is wrong with the “news” in this country. There is simply no meida outlet that reports the “truth”. 他们都有编辑偏见，微妙地，有时不那么微妙地扭曲真相以支持他们的议程。 If you’ve ever worked in the business, you know it can be as simple as the omission of a single word, or even a change in case.

    The “news” media in this country is badly broken as they are driven by “advertising revenue” and print exactly what their readers want to read: their own positions reflected back at them. So, whether it’s Fox News or MSNBC that you’re in to, you’re just another automaton. It’s significantly much harder to filter the truth from a host of media outlets but that, and “deep thought” is exactly what’s required, and what 99% of you do not practice.

    最后，观点和事实之间有很大的差异。 莫st of you allow yourselves to believe that your opinions are facts and leave no room for the possibility that you might be wrong… as you almost certainly are.

  12. Once one knows that O’Reilly is rabidly pro-Israel and pro-Roman Catholic, one can pick through what he says. 我认为他对占领华尔街运动很有偏见。 但我觉得这个节目很有趣。 当福克斯收购《华尔街日报》时，他的节目里的事情又向右转了一点。
    他在节目中支持许多慈善机构。 他自嘲，不把每件事都当回事。 Watching PBS, BBC-US, and O’Reilly gives me a spectrum POV.
