Bill O'Reilly

Recommended Posts

 

Nah...his books are actually pretty interesting.

 

Sure they are when you get to make up your own history. Now I have to question the whole part about his affair with Jackie O after JFK died. :dunno:

And the hits keep coming:

 

 

O'Reilly has claimed he has "seen guys gun down nuns in El Salvador" and "was in El Salvador and I saw nuns get shot in the back of the head" during his time as a CBS correspondent. The incident that O'Reilly appears to be referring to is the well-documented execution of four churchwomen by the Salvadoran national guard in December 1980. After this event, experts say that there were no priests or nuns killed in the country for more than eight years.

But in his book The No Spin Zone, the host writes that he did not begin covering the civil war in El Salvador until "a few weeks" after he began as a CBS News correspondent in 1981 -- the year after the execution took place.

BOR's target audience is immune to reality. Bill will call it a media witch hunt and the brainless drones who watch his show will fall in line.

Agreed. I think if there is any real consequence to this is that it will make it slightly easier to bring Brian Williams back into the fold after the requisite time out period.

New drinking game tonight, every time bill says "witch hunt" or says he's the "victim" we do a shot.

 

...might want to restock the liquor cabinet before hand though.

Now it seems like he made a bad choice to take the allegations head on. He has to keep answering them now, no matter how many or how difficult it gets, otherwise it looks like he is ducking and running for cover

He's not done. The whole point of Fox 's spin is that the other networks can't be trusted and are out to get them. This reinforces that.

Turns out, what he meant to say was that he saw pictures of it.

As you'll see in this thread, I initially gave him a pass given that he's not much more than Inside Edition's lead man.

 

 

But now that I'm seeing him report these stories as a "legitimate" journalist (for CBS), I think some other shiit has to go down.

 

Probably won't, because he bring FAUX money, but for the same reasons I thought BW should step away, he should too.

 

It's one thing if you're Megyn Kelly, or some other tard from Faux, but if you lied as part of a 'legitimate' news organization, you need to step away.

 

Let's have him go the way of Glenn Beck.

But he hasn't worked for a "legitimate" news organization in decades. Honestly this is pretty much like finding out Rush Limbaugh lied about something--so focking what? I assume that fat blowhard lies whenever it suits him

It's just entertainment folks. Fox caters to the right to get their money, MSNBC caters to the left to get theirs, and CNN attempts to play it down the middle to get everyone stuck in an airports money. If you think any of them are news, you're getting played. All they do is tell their audience what they want to hear. And forget network news, they sold out before there even was cable.

Holy semantics. This debate sounds like a thread here. His story of what happened by all accounts is true, it's just that he didn't go into exact detail. In Argentina during the Fauklands war or just after during a protest ABOUT the war. It's semantics that doesn't mean much. His photographer was hurt, stuff was going down. So instead of saying "In the Fauklands during the war" it's more accurate to say "In Argentina during a violent protest in relation to the Fauklands war"....it's just stupid semantics.

 

That's way different than outright creating a whole story.

 

This is like a news reporter who was in a neighboring town to Feguroson and was covering a protest there about M. Brown. Then 10 years later he says, yeah I covered the Fegerson protests. I mean "technically" that's not true but Fock, really? Was he really supposed to get all technical and say "yeah I covered the Williamstown, MO protests, which is a neighboring town to Ferguson during the Ferguson protests. :yawn:

Bill O'Reilly's Own Video From Falklands Protest Contradicts His "War Zone" Claim

 

 

Throughout the controversy set off by a recent Mother Jones article about Bill O'Reilly's mischaracterizations of his wartime reporting experience, the Fox News host has angrily insisted that "everything" he has said about his journalistic track record has been accurate. But his accounts have been contradicted by O'Reilly's former colleagues and other eyewitnesses—and, it turns out, by O'Reilly's own reporting at the time. Mother Jones has obtained the CBS News report O'Reilly filed at the end of the Falklands war. It makes no reference to the dramatic and warlike action—soldiers "gunning down" Argentine civilians with "real bullets"—O'Reilly has claimed he witnessed.

 

To justify his claim that he was in a "war zone" and a "combat situation" in Buenos Aires, O'Reilly has pointed to his coverage of a violent protest that erupted after the Argentines surrendered. He has said that a bloodbath occurred, with Argentine troops firing live ammunition into the crowd, mowing down demonstrators, and killing "many." He also has claimed that during the protest a soldier pointed an M-16 at him, and that he heroically rescued his cameraman as O'Reilly and his crew were being chased by soldiers.

 

His own real-time coverage of the protest (see here for a transcript) makes no mention of a massacre or threats to him and his crew.

 

But O'Reilly was irked, he wrote in his 2001 memoir, because he wanted to be featured in that report instead of the lead CBS correspondent in Buenos Aires, Bob Schieffer. He subsequently cut his own two-minute package, which was similar to the network news report. But in this piece, which CBS sent to local affiliates for later broadcast, O'Reilly provided the voice-over. As O'Reilly recently noted on his Fox News show, the affiliates in Philadelphia and New York City used his report. This footage was not part of the material CBS posted last week.

What's notable about O'Reilly's report is what's not in it. He does not refer to Argentine soldiers gunning down civilians or mention any deaths. He says nothing about soldiers chasing him and his crew. And there's no reference to a CBS cameraman being injured. (A reporter who witnesses soldiers shooting protesters and killing many civilians would presumably be compelled to report on those horrors.) His report depicts exactly what other journalists and eyewitnesses have said took place: a violent demonstration in which tear gas and rubber bullets were deployed. In this 1982 report, O'Reilly called the demonstration a "disturbance." But in later years—on his Fox News show, in his writings, and at speaking engagements—he has claimed that the event was a bloody melee that amounted to "combat" in a "war zone."

Yeah, you should probably completely refrain from asking anyone ever again if they "have anything of substance" to add. HTH.

So who gets the 8 o'clock spot on fox? From watching their other programs, it doesn't seem they have a deep bench. Herman Cain? Sarah Palin? Ted Nugent? Joe the Plumber, Duck Dynasty guy?

So you weren't referencing Williams when you claimed what O'Reilly did was "way different than outright creating a whole story"?

 

My mistake :lol:
