icanthearyou 4,463 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well not surprisingly your disdain shows through loud and clear. Apples and oranges because of the vast difference in the positions they hold. How many people do you honestly believe think take O'Reilly seriously in the first place? He's not reporting the news but by contrast is entertaining conservatives much like Limbaugh does. Liberals hate him for that because they're arguably the most thinned skinned and miserable people on the planet. You dont like him either, I get that loud and clear by your opinions. No problem. This story wont affect me one way or the other as it specifically relates to whether or not I'll watch his show. I only do on occasion anyway. BTW, I never watched BW and wouldn't be watching him if he were still with NBC, so his story doesn't mean squat to me either. Wow. Now THAT'S SPIN! Ironic considering O'Reilly's catch phrase. What do you know? You're one of the "most thinned skinned, miserable people on the planet"! That comes from a fair and balanced source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlueVue 177 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 From Bizarro World I thought I'd bump this thread since there was A LOT of predictable righteous indignation about Bill O'Reilly supposedly lying about his covering the Falklands war. Out of curiosity, I watched O'Reilly last night and he absolutely body slammed David Corn the author of the Mother Jones piece accusing him of lying about his reportorial career. There is simply no comparing O'Reilly to Brian Williams for several reasons. The most notable is, Brian William's stories were questioned by members of the US Armed Services. O'Reilly was attacked by a far left wing lying liberal operating under the pretense- they got one of ours, so, one of their has to go down. Second, Brian Williams never stood by his lies and virtually admitted them, while O'Reilly stood firm and facing straight into the camera said everything he has said about his reportorial career is 100% true and even went on to produce 30+ year old written documentation proving it and then unapologetically called David Corn a far left wing liberal zealot and pathetic liar. It was great! In closing, I am always amused by how up in arms many in this forum get when some lying liberal phony produces nothing but a hit piece absent any facts or truth and proceeds to pontificate about O'Reilly's "bonafides", or some such nonsense, mean he had not right to comment on Brian Williams since he was a liar too.. Its all so predictable and funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 16,438 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 We -- meaning the American networks -- were all in the same, modern hotel and we never saw any troops, casualties or weapons. It was not a war zone or even close. It was an "expense account zone." All the members of the CBS reporting staff and all the two-person camera crews we had in Buenos Aires were sent in to the street. I believe there were four or five crews. The reporters, as I remember, were O'Reilly, Chuck Gomez, Charles Krause, Bob Schieffer and myself. Somewhere it has been reported that O'Reilly has claimed he was the only CBS News reporter who had the courage to go into the street because the rest of us were hiding in our hotel. If he said such thing it is an absolute lie. The CBS bureau chief in Buenos Aires ... assembled the camera crews in our hotel newsroom and instructed them to refrain from using the lights on their cameras while around crowds. Television lights attracted potentially violent people ... According to Doyle, O'Reilly returned to the hotel in a rage over the fact that his cameraman wouldn't turn on the lights to photograph angry crowds. Doyle defended the cameraman and chewed out O'Reilly for violating his instructions on lights. When Doyle informed O'Reilly that Schieffer would be doing the report, which would not include any segment from O'Reilly, the reporter exploded. "I didn't come down here to have my footage used by that old man," he shouted ... This confrontation led the next day to O'Reilly being ordered out of Argentina by the CBS bosses. Doyle had told them O'Reilly was a "disruptive force" who threatened his bureau's morale and cohesion. O'Reilly has said he was in a situation in Argentina where "my photographer got run down and hit his head and was bleeding from the ear on the concrete and the army was chasing us." The only place where such an injury could have occurred was the relatively tame riot I have described above. Neither Doyle, who would have been immediately informed of injury to any CBS personnel, nor anyone else who was working the story remembers a cameraman being injured that night. The gunfire reported by O'Reilly is equally suspicious. One of our camera crews reported that they believed the Argentine police or army had fired a few rubber bullets at the crowd. That was the only report we received of weapons being fired that night. https://m.facebook.c...204873374051471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 O'Reilly has called Corn and Enberg lars and challenged them to come on his show and talk face to face. They won't. O'Reilly says he will have some old video from CBS tomorrow to prove his case. Interesting that Corn was once at Fox but was fired and went to MSNBC. I'm betting on O'Reilly to nail Corn and MSNBC. Here is O'Reilly this afternoon. http://video.foxnews...?#sp=show-clips Rob....I bet you lunch next time I'm in Auburn (I'm there often) that O'Reilly is right on this. Hint.......Mother Jones/Corn said O'Reilly lied about being on the Falkland islands. O'Reilly says he never said he was on the Falkland Islands but WAS in Argentina covering the Falkland War. Should be interesting tomorrow night. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auctoritas 2,828 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 If O'Reilly said he was never in the Falklands, then he's still lying.

O'Reilly has said in the past that he "reported on the ground in active war zones from El Salvador to the Falklands" and "survived a combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands War." Corn pointed out that O'Reilly was in Buenos Aires after the Falklands War, and that American reporters were unable to reach the islands at the time.The controversy seems to turn on whether riots O'Reilly experienced in Buenos Aires after Argentina's forces in the Falklands surrendered to Britain count as having reported from a "war zone" and constitute a "combat situation." "Would you consider a riot a general combat definition?” Hewitt asked O'Reilly. “Yeah, when it’s in a war setting, of course,” O'Reilly responded. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/20/bill-oreilly-war-reporting_n_6724566.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
