O'Reilly was dropped as keynote speaker for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children charity dinner. Was this because of the disgusting comments he made about kidnapping victim Shawn Hornbeck?

Who knows? Almost everything that comes out of his mouth is garbage. I don't know why anyone would want him as a keynote speaker in the first place.

I'm sure he was the victim of a loud, squeaky, liberal wheel within the ranks. Organizations that exist only upon the goodwill of contributors often cave pretty easily.
To 28%BrainDamage (is that all?): Of course Fox is slanted to the right, while most of the media is at a near-vertical slope to the left.

Bill O'Reilly is the host of Fox News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor and Westwood One's nationally syndicated The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly. He is also a syndicated columnist for Creators Syndicate and the author of five books, including Who's Looking Out for You? (Broadway, 2003) and The O'Reilly Factor for Kids (HarperEntertainment, 2004). O'Reilly is a former host for the tabloid-style news program Inside Edition (where he did not win a Peabody award) and a former correspondent for ABC News.
O'Reilly uses his position as the centerpiece of Fox News' prime-time lineup to serially misinform his audiences, consistently skewing his presentation to advance conservative viewpoints (though he did admit on July 19, 2004, that Fox News "does tilt right"). As Media Matters has documented O'Reilly's tactics and false statements, he has derided the organization on numerous occasions, at one point describing Media Matters employees as "the most vile, despicable human beings in the country." Media Matters named O'Reilly as its 2004 Misinformer of the Year.
O'Reilly frequently denounces "cowards" who refuse to face him on-air, saying, for example, "If you attack someone publicly, as these men did to me, you have an obligation to face the person you are smearing. If you don't, you are a coward." But O'Reilly has repeatedly attacked Media Matters while refusing Media Matters President and CEO David Brock's request to appear on The O'Reilly Factor.
