In his best-selling book Killing Kennedy, Bill O’Reilly tells a brief tale of an intrepid reporter — himself — chasing the historical truth of JFK’s assassination in south Florida. But the story itself is a fiction, as O’Reilly reveals here in his own voice.
In the annals of the JFK assassination story, rife with CIA and FBI malfeasance, O’Reilly’s fanciful anecdote might seem trivial. It is not the saddest feature of a book that manages to ignore all of the high-quality JFK assassination scholarship of the last two decades.
But as O’Reilly’s yarn is presented as fact in USA Today and the Fort-Worth Telegram; as his book dominates the best-seller charts; and as a credulous National Geographic embarks on making a documentary of Killing Kennedy, O’Reilly’s credibility matters.
In O’Reilly’s account, the dramatic incident happened on March 29, 1977. The Fox News talk show host was then a 28-year-old television reporter in Dallas seeking to make a name for himself by investigating a popular subject that media elites habitually disdained: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

It’s showdown for all lying journalists.
His book on Lincoln was loaded with mistakes. He’s so phony.
when you are drawing lots of flack, you are over target
Rudy is to be followed by Bibi and Barack is being thrashed and trashed
his panic is reflected by the outpouring from his flacks
It is fun to watch the spectacle

The Liberals think they are hurting the Conservatives by attacking O’Reilly.
The joke is on them!
Maybe this guy’s the journolister that can get to the bottom of how Obama’s parents met on a bridge in Selma in 1965, while he was born in 1961.
Man - I could care less about Brian Williams’s or Bill O’Reilly’s lies *compared to the lies told by Barack Obama!*
When will investigators go after those instead of playing these stupid gotcha games?
Ted Baxter’s not a liar...he’s an I-and-A.
The investigator (Fonzi) focused only on the JFK assassination, not politics. And he is also dead.
When you hear most people talk about Lincoln you would think he was a gift from God, instead he is far from that.
Using a 2-yr old story to jump on the bash-O’Reilly bandwagon? Are you a Brian Williams fan or a David Corn fan? Or just dumb enough to follow the leftist herd?
you all realize that this was a story from a few years rehashed by the same clowinsh figures that tried to say he lied about where he lived and where he worked.
Agree. O’Reilly as a spokesperson for conservatives is like having Nurse Ratched control what medicine you take.
But O’Reilly bought into every conspiracy theory about his assassination - even believed (or more, likely, was simply pushing this stupid theory) that Booth was married with children. It was disgustingly amateur.
O’Reilly is not a guy conservatives should hitch their wagon to.
who said he was a voice of conservatism?
you seem to have downed the koolade that was put forward for you to drink
the msm knows there are the gullible that counted on
I have called out O’Reilly’s liberalism plenty of times. I have no use for him at all. My point was the number of people willing to believe a lying leftist like David Corn, not realizing this attack on O’Reilly is just payback for the exposure of Brian William’s many lies. The left thinks O’Reilly is a “conservative” because he’s on FOX News, even if we know better.
The joke is on them!

Isn't that the truth...BO'R (IMHO) is one of the least liked personalities on Fox.
How 'bout shutting your big yap and listening to your guests ? What a novel idea!
