Bill is more like Bill Maher than Brian Williams. He’s not a reporter. He’s an opinion guy. Truthiness is not as important to his career path.

I’ll believe Engberg (probably a Communist) when he spews this directly to Ted Baxter.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Is this all the turds at the WaPo have to talk about? The Falkands? Are you kidding me? Freaks.

[Shadow44]

The classic tu quoque fallacy.

The left’s trying really hard to do damage control.

[dfwgator]

But then again, most lunches aren’t with Bill O’Reilly.

I wonder if he ordered a Falafel?

Hey, I went to the Falkland Islands once... the only action I saw though was freezing my buns off while photographing penguins on the beach. Man... that was cold.

Bill is more like Bill Maher than Brian Williams. He’s not a reporter. He’s an opinion guy. Truthiness is not as important to his career path.

And to be clear, ever since Bill dissed the Swift Boat Vets I’ve been unable to take anything he says seriously.

Awww...Brian go down like Danny, libs all upset and in a hissy...

Who gives a crap what went down 30 years ago. Isn’t that what they say too?

Believe that it’s more like 30 minutes with them: MoveOn.org was the mantra for ignoring Clinton’s oral infatuations.

According to this WaPo story it was that pillar of journalistic integrity Dan Rather who pulled the plug on O’s career at See BS.

I posed this last week. One of my favs.

There was a book out a couple years ago about RAF planned bombing run on Argentina airfields. Never happened. But as Dan Rather said,”...it could have happened that way.” LOL!

Watch the ‘fair, balanced and even tempered’ O’Reallly.

Warning...language.

“DUDE, That was like 2 years ago!” -Tommy Veiter, Obama;s NSC spokesboy.

[detective]

“Then CBS came calling. This finally seemed O’Reilly’s big break. He was going to be filing footage for the great Dan Rather.”

This story originated at Mother Jones where they lied and said O’Reilly claimed to be on the Falkland Islands when he was in Buenos Aires. O’Reilly never made such a claim.

Now they are digging up old CBS News leftists to attack O’Reilly as being unworthy of working with “the great Dan Rather” 30 years ago.

O’Reilly is not perfect but he is far better and far more successful than anyone at CBS News.

Some of this is ideological. Leftists at CBS and WaPo vs. O’Reilly at Fox.

Some of this is just jealousy.

[wiggen]

O’Reilly is one of the most pompous idiots ever. Stopped watching Fox just because of him. He practically got on his knees and serviced Obama in those ‘hard hitting’ interviews.

[iowamark]

We are supposed to think that something is wrong with BOR because he didn’t get along with Dan Rather’s CBS?

[TigersEye]

Engberg told The Post. “He didn’t seem too interested. I offered in a suggestion on how things worked and he didn’t pay any attention to me. … I saw him as someone who wasn’t willing to be held back by the restrictions that govern rookie reporters — the fact you got to get up in the morning and go over to whatever briefing was going on and report it to your bosses and wait for your next assignment. He was the kind of guy who wanted to find a story that was going to get him on the air that night.”

Is that supposed to be painting a bad picture because I'm not getting a bad picture out of that.

[vpintheak]

Apparently he knew something of what he was doing. Numbers don’t lie...

[riverdawg]

I'm not a bif fan of BOR but even Politico says the Mother Jones story doesn't have legs:

I just looked up the cover story in this issue of Newsweek on the Buenos Aries riots in June 1982. There are two color photos of the riots, the one on the bottom of the cover showing several riot police and maybe some tear gas in the distance and one inside at the story showing three blue-clad rioters apparently helping to set fire to some debris in the street). The write-up is just a couple of paragraphs, with no mention of any deaths or injuries during the riots. Of course, this is Newsweek, FWIW.
