Bill O’Reilly is assuring supporters that he is on the mend after temporarily stepping away from his media work, telling fans he expects to return soon and remains fully engaged with the news cycle.
The conservative commentator shared the update Wednesday in a post to his website, delivering the message directly to his loyal audience.
“Hey No Spin Nation. Sorry I am dealing with a malady. We have great doctors so we’ll fight the good fight. Doesn’t affect my fingers so will update you on me, news cycle and anything major. Hopefully, back in the saddle shortly,” O’Reilly wrote.
In a follow-up “No Spin Update,” O’Reilly said he is recovering from stomach issues while sidelined in New York City and thanked supporters for the outpouring of encouragement.
“Greetings, No Spin Nation! Your tour guide is okay and recovering from some stomach stuff,” he wrote. “We are open on the website and very happy the Greenland invasion is not happening, but Sri Lanka better watch it.”
O’Reilly said the well wishes have been overwhelming and expressed gratitude to his audience, which he credits for sustaining his independent platform.
“Amazing good wishes have arrived here in New York City, and it’s hard to describe my gratitude,” he wrote. “I am planning a jail break out of the medical facility where there are more than a few Concierge Members. That’s major. If USA Today finds me, I’m toast.”
While off the air, O’Reilly said he has been preparing for his return and keeping a critical eye on media coverage, including what he described as over-the-top reporting from local outlets.
“Working on the first broadcast back because there’s nothing else to do here except watch hysterical local TV news coverage about snow generated by global warming,” he wrote. “Also, Mayor Mandami won’t give the kids a snow day unless they blame the frozen precipitation on capitalism.”
O’Reilly also joked about an invitation to attend church with CNN personality Don Lemon and promised more updates in the coming days.
“Have an invite to go to church with Don Lemon, but might be too risky. Who knew the depth of his spirituality?” he wrote. “Another No Spin update on Sunday. Stay safe. The NSN is the best!”
O’Reilly, 76, has hosted and produced No Spin News since 2017, when he left Fox News and launched his independent media operation. Prior to that, he anchored The O’Reilly Factor from 1996 to 2017, becoming one of the most influential conservative voices in cable news.
