In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, O'Reilly indicated that he dislikes having "to have bodyguards and all the other business that I didn't have to have, and it intrudes."

Bill O'Reilly has defended the decision by broadcast and cable news outlets to air the tapes sent by Cho Seung-hui to NBC on the day of his murderous rampage at Virginia Tech a week ago. Although many conservative commentators have expressed outrage at the networks for giving the killer the notoriety he apparently sought by murdering 32 fellow students and taking his own life, the Fox news commentator said in a statement posted on the cable news network's website: "Evil must be exposed, and Cho was Evil. You can see it in his face, hear it in his voice. All of us who saw the tape will never forget it. And it made me and millions of others angry. Once evil is acknowledged, steps can be taken to contain it. And once anger is in the air, policy can change." The conservative Fox commentator found himself allied with some of his usual media detractors. Commented the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz: "Had NBC suppressed the material, there would have been criticism about dereliction of duty. It was newsworthy, by any definition, and journalists sometimes must do unpopular things in the pursuit of news."
