Biloxi Buzz for Sunday

Young Bill O’Reilly’s early work foreshadowed ‘obsession with porn’
As it turns out, O'Reilly, who attended grad school at Boston University, contributed his own youthful wit and wisdom to the Boston Phoenix, and a Cambridge publication called Real Paper.

Boston Phoenix, which is still quite alive and kicking, caught wind of O'Reilly's contributions circa 1974 by way of a blog post about the right-wing commentator's recent book, "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity".

Sure enough, trolling their archives returned a couple gems. One O'Reilly piece is particularly interesting: he sits for a screening of the pornographic film The Devil in Miss Jones, then goes out to eat with the director.

In the printed text, O'Reilly's typically insistent, prone-to-interruption persona is nowhere to be found. Indeed, he quotes the pornographer at length.
