 ESPN radio interviewed O'Reilly on his recently released biography.

O'Reilly in his book made it sound like he competed in college varsity sports, but it was actually club sports. When the ESPN hosts Dan LeBatard and Jon "Stugotz" Weiner called him out on his athletic exaggeration, O'Reilly hung up on them.

Youre missing the point as usual.

MORAL  OF THE STORY IS IF YOU LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE DON'T THROW STONES 

I think that's a fairly accurate assessment but then again O'Reilly wouldn't have a career if he did that.

Even though Bill-O claimed to be in the warzone - and now admits he was not...
Even though Bill-O described this brilliant staredown with armed bad guy, dragging his wounded cameraman to safety - never happened...

FOX is standing by Bill OReilly, backing him and keeping him. 

Now we can criticize the liberal media for abandoning their war exaggerator, while FOX stood by their man

[headhuntersix]

He reported that he was in the capital when the Argentinians rose up against the gov....he was caught in the riot and reported it. He said as much on Fox....whats your problem.

240 says it never happend and cited a story......well follow the link and you get this. Nice try 240....

Bill has his side and this guy has his.....CBS has documents backing Bill...atleast based on what he released on Friday. Non story by a lib douchbag....

Eric Engberg, a former CBS News correspondent who covered the aftermath of the Falklands conflict from Buenos Aires, said that O’Reilly’s story about covering a protest in the Argentine capital wasn’t accurate, adding that it was a “relatively tame riot” after Argentina surrendered to the British on the islands.

“It was an ‘expense account zone,’” Engberg wrote.

O’Reilly responded to the post on Sunday, reading from a contemporary New York Times dispatch that recounted police using tear gas to disperse “thousands of angry Argentines who had massed in front of the presidential palace.” Engberg said that the Fox News host’s story about his cameraman getting run down and “bleeding from the ear” could have happened only during that event.

“I don’t think he was there. I don’t think he knows what happened,” O’Reilly said of Engberg, adding that he had requested the video of the protest from CBS News.

Billo: "Many were killed during the demonstration".   Um, no.


Fox News host Bill O'Reilly threatened a New York Times reporter on Monday night, promising to come after the reporter "with everything I have" if he felt that any of the reporter's coverage about his Falklands war controversy was inappropriate.

"Mr. O’Reilly’s efforts to refute the claims by Mother Jones and some former CBS News colleagues occurred both on the air and off on Monday," the Times' Emily Steel and Ravi Somaiya reported. "During a phone conversation, he told a reporter for The New York Times that there would be repercussions if he felt any of the reporter’s coverage was inappropriate. 'I am coming after you with everything I have,' Mr. O’Reilly said. 'You can take it as a threat.'”

Steel confirmed on Twitter that she was the reporter in question. Reached by email late Monday night, she declined to comment further, noting that "the story speaks for itself." A Fox News spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from O'Reilly.

The Times article was published just hours after O'Reilly sought to put an end to the controversy surrounding claims he made about his experiences during the Falklands War in 1982. "I want to stop this now,” he said after a segment about the controversy. “I hope we can stop it. I really do.”

Mother Jones journalists David Corn and Daniel Schulman have alleged that O'Reilly lied about being present in a "war zone" and "combat situation" during the Falklands War, and that he even suggested he had gone to the Falkland Islands. O'Reilly was present at a violent demonstration in Buenos Aires during which police fired into the crowd. He says he never claimed to have been in the Falkland Islands and has defended his characterization of the protest as a "combat zone."

Corn and Schulman also noted that O'Reilly falsely claimed that "many were killed" during the demonstration. On Monday night's broadcast, O'Reilly argued that a casuality count was impossible to determine.

Wait.  You mean 240 was embellishing?  No way. 

As usual.  He accepts all of O'Reilly's critics accusations at face value.   Brian Williams admited he was lying.  He also ignores the vast difference between how the O'Reilly Factor and The Nightly News are viewed In terms of legitimacy and reputation. He falsely assumes some type of equivalency that isnt there.  In short, 240 is a bonehead

Ex-NBC Bureau Chief Backs Up O’Reilly’s Account of Falklands War Riot

Two former CBS reporters have strongly disputed Bill O’Reilly‘s accounts of what happened one night when they covered a riot in Buenos Aires, but on The Factor tonight, O’Reilly brought on a former NBC News bureau chief who backed up his story.

Don Browne was the NBC News Miami bureau chief at the time, and he oversaw the network’s Falklands coverage. And Browne told O’Reilly his account was accurate. As opposed to some of the other accounts, which have to some extent downplayed the danger, Browne said the situation “got progressively more intense” and there were demonstrations in Buenos Aires every day.

Both O’Reilly and Browne recalled a “very intense situation where people got hurt” and how “this was an extremely violent and volatile situation” where reporters were in danger.

O’Reilly also spoke with Mediaite’s own Joe Concha, who wrote a column this week questioning the motivations of O’Reilly’s attackers. Concha told O’Reilly that Mother Jones is in the business of throwing red meat to progressives, and beyond that, the story isn’t making much headway anyway.

so when there were demonstrations is the u.s. over vietnam was that also the war zone  

[blacken700]

 

[240 is Back]

he attended demonstrations.  He was never "IN THE WAR ZONE", a phrase he used to punk other reporters who weren't as brave as him.  He stretched it, and now he's redefining what he meant all along.  

He was IN A DANGEROUS DEMONSTRATION ZONE.   THe war zone was 1200 miles away.  That's what it comes down to - to believe Bill OReilly, you have to redefine warzones to include any rough demonstrations held in different countries now.  Therefore any riot in NYC that gets rowdy, protesting the Iraq war, is now definieable as a WAR ZONE of the war in Iraq.

We understand that, right?   War zones now include demonstrations, 1200 miles away from the actual war.  Correct?  

[dario73]

O'Reilly has been vindicated.

Wow.

Libtard thread backfire.

Sorry retards. Libtards will continue to be the undisputed champions of falsehood.

How stupid can you be?  Oh wait... this is YOU in question so the answer is pretty fucking stupid.

Nice try though but your spin cycle failed.

People that support oreilly will say he's been vindicated by a video. 

The video doesn't show him in the warzone he claimed to be in.  It's a tough area, sure, but he claimed to be in the war zone in falklands, and he was never there.  He was in a rough protest, 1200 miles away. 

it's like a reporter saying he was part of the D-Day war zone effort because he covered a bread line fight in NYC as the ships full of troops headed to Europe... and hey, since he has proof he was at this NYC riot, he's "vindicated" LOL.

The video that CBS released was footagge FROM BUENOS AIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!  

there was never any doubt that he was in buenos aires, that's well-known.

SOMEHOW, bill oreilly is claiming this footage backs up his claim that he was "in a combat situation" and "in a war zone…in the Falklands."

NO NO NO... Oreilly covered a violent protest in Buenos Aires.  And yes, CBS' tape proves it.  But this tape doesn't prove he was ever "in a war zone in the falklands" and covering a "combat situation".

O'Reilly has been vindicated.

You don't believe that.  

Also, Bill-O claimed there were fatalities.  There were none reported by the buenos aires govt nor any other media outlets that day. One dude was hit in the leg with warning gunfire.  OReilly still stand by the fatalities claims... he's the only one. 

On Sunday, CNN reported that seven of O'Reilly's former CBS colleagues disputed his claim that Argentine soldiers had fired live rounds at civilians.   Rubber bullets, and yeah, there's video of that too.

BOTTOM LINE - Bill-O releases video of him covering a rough protest in place A, to back up his claims that he was in a deadly combat situation in place B... and some people actually believe it. 

[Dos Equis]

This is stupid. 

It also sounds like an attempt by liberals to detract attention away from Brian Williams, which really isn't necessary, because the MSM will help bury his story, assuming they haven't already done so.

Brian williams deserved to be fired, not suspended for 6 months.

He claimed he took RPG fire, and he did not.

Bill OReilly claimed he was in a combat situation in a war zone in falklands, when he was actually in a scary protest in Buenos Aires, and has given video to prove he was in Buenos Aires.


And the fact you're calling it stupid, and would rather talk about brian williams, shows you can't disagree with the valid points here, and you want to use 3rd grade mean words and make fun of libs instead

at least williams was in the war zone,mr no spin zone was 1100 miles away

[240 is Back]

Williams lied to gain credibility - it's inexcusable.  

OReilly actually mocked another reporter because he didn't see this reporter while he was in the "warzones of falklands" at :45 of the video.  

Yes, his own words.  And yes, now OReilly admits he was actually covering a protest in Buenos Aires, not a warzone in falklands, but....
