They can do that because the media does the dirty work for them including all the sluffing off.
It’s not a symmetric situation so you can’t use the same tactics. The media will not let conservatives just “sluff it off”.
Actually they didn't, they just pissed him off and his comments about Al Franken were spot on.......
Sic em Bill!
They're not gonna join the lie because they know MJ was lying.......Especially CBS since Bill produced their memos as documention.
Exactly
The left are low class brawlers by nature and they revel in any opportunity to get down and dirty with anyone they consider above them.
ITA... Bill is a liar and has blown up his experience his whole career to make the story about Bill. Below is a bit of a post by a reporter who was on site the same time as Bill. I’m only posting two paragraphs..but the whole post is very interesting as are the comments by other journalists who were also in Argentina at the time Bill claims to have be in a war zone.
Is this all a bunch of old news? I think so. But it does seem to indicate that some of these guys are/were in the entertainment biz vs people reporting factually what had occurred.
.............
“I can provide some eyewitness information on this matter because I was one of the correspondents in Buenos Aires with O’Reilly and the rest of the rather large staff of CBS News people who were there “covering” the war. To begin with “covering” is an overstatement of what we were doing. Corn is correct in pointing out that the Falkland Islands, where the combat between Great Britain and Argentina took place, was a thousand miles away from Buenos Aires. We were in Buenos Aires because that’s the only place the Argentine military junta would let journalists go. Our knowledge of the war was restricted to what we could glean from comically deceitful daily briefings given by the Argentine military and watching government-controlled television to try to pick up a useful clue from propaganda broadcasts. We — meaning the American networks — were all in the same, modern hotel and we never saw any troops, casualties or weapons. It was not a war zone or even close. It was an “expense account zone.”
...........
“CBS was doing a late night re-cap of the Falkland’s story. As always the Buenos Aires bureau had no combat video footage to offer, so our part of the special would be the demonstrations, which had been well covered by three or four camera crews, including the one working with O’Reilly. All that footage was blended into the main story, narrated by Schieffer, who had been in Buenos Aires for weeks as the anchor on the scene. When Doyle informed O’Reilly that Schieffer would be doing the report, which would not include any segment from O’Reilly, the reporter exploded. “I didn’t come down here to have my footage used by that old man,” he shouted. Doyle was stunned. First O’Reilly had defiantly ordered a cameraman to disregard his orders on using lights, and now he was claiming the right to do a story the producers had decided should be done by the senior correspondent on the scene, Schieffer. This confrontation led the next day to O’Reilly being ordered out of Argentina by the CBS bosses. Doyle had told them O’Reilly was a “disruptive force” who threatened his bureau’s morale and cohesion.”

I rest my case. As for people whose view differs from yours "not belonging here," perhaps because you disapprove of my perspective, let's just say that there's a somewhat higher bar for inclusion here than what you dislike.
Is this not Obama's second term? I need say nothing about the American voter beyond that. They said it all.
In my considered opinion.
He has those extremely close-set eyes, making him look like a ferret or a weasel. Combined with that Slavic brow, prison pallor, and little, pursed, sissy-boy mouth, he makes the GOP guest look altogether normal by comparison.
You don’t have to be an O’Reilly fan (and I’m not) to know that David Corn is a lying POS and Mother Jones is a loathsome commie gutter rag. This is just an attempt at payback for Williams.
You know Eric Engberg is a RAT shill, right?
Sure, but O’Reilly is still a lying sleaze bag.
Out of the blue one time he went after FR, he made it up, and it’s only purpose was to serve as balance for a deserved attack he was making on liberals.
The problem was that the created very specific lies about FR, and claimed that he was seeing on that very day, when in reality, he was making it all up out of thin air.
so everyone from CBS is lying and Bill is truthful? Feel free to go with that opinion. I don’t care for BOR ..... so easy for me to believe BOR exaggerated his ‘war time’ experiences.
I’m not defending O’Reilly, he’s an ignorant blowhard. That doesn’t make me believe a RAT shill like Engberg. You just want to believe dirt on O’Reilly. And thanks for your kind permission to have my own opinion. Very liberal of you.
