He would write books that avoided hot political topics of the day. And they are good books.
Then he would go on his show and discuss the hot topics of the day but with events that was more angry than informed or scholarly.
Unfortunately he's lost his reputation in this sexual harassment scandal. He deserves to have lost his show, but I think the books can stand on their own.
Coulter's books were always jumping right on top of the hot political issue of the day, but trying to add some historical context to it.
In any case, both of them confuse me because they seem too smart to have fallen for Trumpism. 
Did O'Reilly endorse Trump during the primaries? Coulter did. She was too smart for that.

Bill O'Reilly a scholar? Really? Why does he need a co-author?

Ann Coulter used to be somewhat interesting. Who doesn't like to see the high and mighty get poked in the eye once in a while? But now she's become a one-trick pony.

Ann has always known which way the wind is blowing - among a certain segment of the conservative movement. She figured she could make the most money catering to the racist, nativist segment of that community. She's become boring. Every column, every book seems to say the same thing. Hey, perhaps she actually believes some of what she writes.

It is cool to see Trump attacked from the right. I guess Ann knows a sinking ship when she sees one.
