O'Reilly baselessly suggested that "religious fundamentalists" have "no influence" on politicians and the media

SUMMARY: Bill O'Reilly claimed that "religious fundamentalists" have "no influence in the media at all" and stated: "I don't know of one religious fundamentalist in Congress, not one. I don't know one governor who's a religious fundamentalist." In fact, Republican politicians and conservative media figures -- including Sen. George F. Allen, Gov. Mike Huckabee, and right-wing pundit Ann Coulter -- attended the recent Values Voters Summit 2006, an event sponsored by numerous Christian-right interest groups.
