O’Reilly takes criticism way too personally. He really needn’t engage the pinheads.

The left is trying so, so hard to ‘BrianWilliams’ Bill, based on heresay of what happened 30 something years ago. The differences are many, including that Bill O
Reilly is not an anchorman, but a host who is supposed to express his opinion and his own perspective on life events.
Thats his job, to sit and run his mouth, and Bill does fine.
Secondly, 30 years ago, he was still new and learning the rules, it indeed, codes of conduct even existed back then.
Keep spinning it Libs.

O'Reilly should be careful how he reacts, he might unwittingly give Mother Jones the subscription boost they don't deserve. Even this rag has more legitimacy than Mother Jones

But they deny it has anything to do with Williams.

“I was in the streets with my camera crews, O’Reilly recalled, adding that “violence was horrific, as Argentine soldiers fired into the crowds, who were responding with violent acts of their own.”

“I never said I was on the Falkland Islands, as Corn purports, I said I covered the Falklands War, which I did.”

One last time I will post to you on this:

CBS Staffers refute Bill O’Reilly’s ‘war zone’ story

Just one more following post #11:

“I was not on the Falkland islands and I never said I was.”

“I’ve reported on the ground in active war zones from El Salvador to the Falkland Islands.”

The Falkland islands and Argentina are two separate things. O’Reilly was on the streets in Argentina where mobs were attacking soldiers and soldiers shooting back into them. This is what he was present for. It does not mean he was on the Falkland islands proper in the middle of a battle between armies.

To GPH:

As to part of your post:

CBS staffers dispute Bill O’Reilly’s ‘war zone’ story

http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/22/media/cbs-staffers-oreilly-argentina/index.html

As to another part:

“I was not on the Falkland Islands and I never said I was.”

“I’ve reported on the ground in active war zones from El Salvador to the Falkland islands.”

He more than likely misspoke, assuming the quotation is even accurate (you’re quoting from Mother Jones and left wing sources).

Like Hillary “misspeaks”?

Nah, I doubt that for her or O’Reilly.

And the part about Mother Jones being left wing is true, but... O’Reilly is hardly a conservative, so it doesn’t really matter who goes after him, be it the left or the right.

And the article from CNN really hits hard, too, btw.

I was just reading more of the situation from O’Reilly. I’m going to have to side with him over the left-wing rags.

If this pathetic media would question Dems the same way or even close as they go after republicans and people like O.R. then I would have a little respect for them but this attack is just another example of the media doing the lefts work.

The “article” from a fellow SeeBS corespondent reads like a bunch of sour grapes. Not a fan of BOR but Corn is a commie and his publication is trash.
