Bill O'Reilly Twisted Truth On 'War Zone' Account, Says Former CBS Colleague Six other CBS journalists challenge Argentina claims as Fox News host calls allegations ‘garbage’ and says he will show footage to support his reporting

Jon Swaine in New York

Sunday 22 February Former colleagues of Bill O’Reilly who worked alongside the Fox News anchorman in Argentina as the Falklands War ended more than 30 years ago have contradicted his claims to have encountered a perilous situation in a “war zone”.

Eric Engberg, a fellow CBS News correspondent who was in Buenos Aires with O’Reilly in 1982, said the situation there “was not a war zone or even close” and that he and other colleagues did not recall a dangerous incident O’Reilly describes involving an injured cameraman.

“He has displayed a willingness to twist the truth in a way that seeks to invent a battlefield that did not exist,” Engberg wrote in a Facebook post. “He also ought to be ashamed of himself.”

Six other CBS journalists also challenge O’Reilly’s claims, CNN reported on Sunday, adding further pressure on the 65-year-old host of the O’Reilly Factor.

“Comes out of the Virginia swamps
Cool and slow with plenty of precision
With a back beat narrow and hard to master

Some call it heavenly in it’s brilliance
Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream”

BOR is a shaky target a best, can understand why the left would want to take him down after the Brian Williams fiasco.

The old "look everybody does it" scenario.

Let the provable truth come out, no matter which way it cuts.

I do not give a crap. What is amazing to me is that anyone claiming to be a conservative would ever rely on Mother Jones and David Corn and almost anyone associated with the core at CBS.

Engberg? Apparently he refuses to confront BOR with his side of the story.

I have been saying for well over 6 years that the best thing that could happen for our country is if the Media starts to attack each other.

When CBS calls out NBC, and ABC calls them out as well.

First of all, it would be a ratings bonanza !!!

The money they could make would be insane.

He sexually harassed Andrea Mackris and she was awarded a 7 figure settlement.

He has a filthy mind in a filthy body.

Read the court records, easily available on “The Smoking Gun.”

Divorce records also available at NY State Court site.

Do your research.

Professional conduct: sexually harasses all the goodlooking girls.
