Bill O'Reilly caught in another lie

NBC is exposed for the lying shitbag gaggle it is, now all the Marxists are trying to deflect their humiliation onto Bill O'Reilly...half a century ago! That's not desperation, that's out and out panic.


Maybe Faux News should have exposed their lying shitbag some time back.............:badgrin: Of course they're not........like most liehard conservatives, they will make excuses and try semantics to make O'Reilly look honorable.........good luck....I think he's credibility is sunk.....the only ones taking him seriously will be the idiots that watch Faux News....they don't care....they're used to the lies........bwahahaha!
 
None of the O' Reilly crap is sticking per the mainstream media. Just another sad attempt at deflection. Sad. :(


Why the Bill O'Reilly charges aren't sticking

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly almost certainly exaggerated his experiences during the Falklands War and its aftermath in 1982, as several CBS News staffers who were with him at the time attest. He wasn't actually in a "war zone" or "combat situation," as he has often said, but instead at a violent protest. No one appears to have been killed during the riot, despite his claim that "many people died." He was certainly not on the Falkland Islands.

So: Why isn't O'Reilly, the highest-rated host on cable news, being subjected to an internal investigation or an unpaid six-month suspension? Some of it is due to his immediate -- and passionate -- dismissal of the charges (a case study in PR). Some of it is due to the fact that, as a partisan pundit rather than a nightly news anchor, the expectations are lower. But most of the blame lays at the feet of Mother Jones.

The journalists who raised the red flags on O'Reilly's statements -- David Corn and Daniel Schulman, of Mother Jones -- started at a disadvantage. These weren't war veterans who felt wronged by O'Reilly's portrayal of events. They were liberal reporters at an admittedly liberal magazine going after the paragon of right-wing punditry. No matter what goods they had on O'Reilly, it would be easy for him to dismiss these detractors as left-wing zealots bent on his destruction (which he did.)

But Corn and Schulman made O'Reilly's job even easier. Their report, titled "Bill O'Reilly Has His Own Brian Williams Problem," promised to deliver conclusive evidence of Choppergate-level sins. Surely, O'Reilly had committed some indesputable fabrication. The promised whopper was in the subhead: "The Fox News host has said he was in a 'war zone' that apparently no American correspondent reached."

Had O'Reilly falsely claimed to have been on the Falkland Islands when he wasn't, the Fox News host might be in serious trouble. But he never really said that. He has said that he was "in a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands," which can reasonably be defended as short-hand for "in the Falklands War" -- especially because O'Reilly has oft described his experiences there as taking place in Buenos Aires. "I was not on the Falkland Islands and I never said I was," O'Reilly told the On Media blog last week. That hasn't really been disputed since.

Instead, the debate has shifted to whether or not O'Reilly was actually in "a war zone" or a "combat situation," as he has repeatedly claimed. Well, no, he wasn't. He was present at a violent protest -- or "a riot," or "a demonstration" -- that took place immediately after the conclusion of the war. This is a major embellishment, defensible only under the most forgiving parameters of what constitutes wartime activity. Whatever the case, an embellishment is not going to lead Roger Ailes to fire his most valuable personnel asset. (The network has said that "Fox News Chairman and C.E.O. Roger Ailes and all senior management are in full support of Bill O'Reilly.")

There is one detail in Mother Jones' account that is rather damning: In his book, O'Reilly writes that "many were killed" during the riot. The CBS News report from the riot does not mention any deaths. The former CBS News staffers who spoke with CNN over the weekend likewise claimed that no one died during the riots. "There were certainly no dead people," Jim Forrest, a sound engineer for CBS in Buenos Aires, told CNN's Brian Stelter. "Had there been dead people, they would have sent more camera crews." Manny Alvarez, a cameraman called the claims of deaths "outrageous," and added: "People being mowed down? Where was that? That would have been great footage. That would have turned into the story."

The trouble is, it's probably too late for that to matter. Corn and Schulman picked the wrong battle. They chose to highlight claims that could be argued away on semantics, instead of focusing on matters that could be fact-checked by the absence of reported fatalities. In short, they buried the lead. And because O'Reilly punched holes in the other parts of their argument, it has become all the harder to make the legitimate charges stick.
 
The major difference between liberals caught lying and rightwingers caught lying is how they respond.

Williams and McDonald both admitted their mistakes and apologized publicly.

O'Spinly is continuing to lie and is threatening everyone who can prove that he is a liar.

So much for personal responsibility and integrity values from the right.

What has Hillary done, assclown? Has she admitted that she lied about sniper fire and apologized?

Let's face it, that's what this is ALL about - Soros in convinced that if your can slander and libel O'Reilly that Stolen Valor Hillary won't be held for her absurd lie about being under sniper fire.

Look, you're just a drone, you only repeat what Soros tells you to repeat - but Americans who think aren't going to forget Stolen Valor Hillary's lies.
 
O'Spinly does this faux outrage act whenever he is caught out. Remember the loofah story?

Yes, he is doing this to boost his ratings so Faux Noise won't fire him because it is all about the money, honesty and integrity be damned.

Figure out an MOS yet?....it's been a couple days now.....:badgrin:
 
it is funny that liberals were calling for BW's head, then they realized that if BW has to go down a Con has to go down, then out went the call from all progressive libturds to get dirt on some con.

The only thing wrong with this article is that they neglect to mention that the CBS reporters are themselves left wing hacks and as such would lie cheat or steal to bring down a conservative.

This whole thing is dead in the water.
 
Going to be interesting watching him trying to threaten his way out of this lie.

Maybe you'll get lucky this time. Maybe this won't be a complete lie like the Mother Jones story was.

Maybe.

Prove that MJ was found lying. Go ahead. We'll wait right here for you. If they are lying then there should be refutations and laws suits for libel all fucking over the place. Please make sure you provide links.

Argentina is not in the Falklands, like Ireland or Scotland is in the U.K. Got it yet?

You're article had to do with the Falklands lie.........yeah, they picked the wrong thing because "who would have known that O'Reilly and conservatives would use semantics to dig him out of that one".....however, there was one lie he couldn't explain.....there were no people being killed around him, but that little lie, in the midst of the big one doesn't amount to much.

This is a different lie.......one that proves that O'Reilly is a blowhard and doesn't mind laying it on thick.....and is sure to cause him some embarrassment........yet, he's so used to being excused for lying....it might not embarrass him at all.....it sure hasn't embarrassed the Faux News viewers, to be told they are the least informed. They sure defend Faux, when they are informed that it lied to them......most liberals agree that Williams lied and should be punished accordingly.....conservatives, they go out of their way to defend the liar and make excuses for him.
