After NBC News suspended anchor Brian Williams for erroneously claiming that he was nearly shot down in a helicopter while covering the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly went on a tear. On his television show, the top-rated cable news anchor declared that the American press isn't "half as responsible as the men who forged the nation." He bemoaned the supposed culture of deception within the liberal media, and he proclaimed that the Williams controversy should prompt questioning of other "distortions" by left-leaning outlets. Yet for years, O'Reilly has recounted dramatic stories about his own war reporting that don't withstand scrutiny - even claiming he acted heroically in a war zone that he apparently never set foot in. ...

Mother Jones? That the libtard radical rag is less credible than the National Enquirer.
I remember he finally let it drop after Neal Boortz went on his show and busted him for saying something derogatory about blacks. O'Reilly blew up and called him an SOB on air, LOL.
And of course, going unreported is his recent divorce. Catholic church handing out annulments for this kind of creep is disgusting. BOR is a punk.
The Ugly Truth, (great movie) Here’s my favorite scene. Her laundry was piled up and no clean underwear, so she had to wear these that he gave her.

Good for Boortz. I think I stopped watching after day 3, with no end in sight.
As did I. I heard him say the Swift Boat Vets "have no right to be heard".
Men who fought for their country have no right to be heard but a big mouth like O'Reilly does?
And remember, this was all in defense of the poodle.
O'Reilly is a POS and I hope this knocks him down a notch, he richly deserves it.
What? They gave him an annulment? After 20 years and a couple of kids?
Money talks.
Found on Gawker:
Bill O’Reilly wants his ex-wife to go to Hell. Literally. As we previously reported, the Fox News falafelist became separated from his former wife Maureen McPhilmy at some point in 2011, and later went on an apparently corrupt crusade to destroy the career of the Nassau County Police detective she was dating. We have now confirmed that O’Reilly and McPhilmy have been formally divorced, that she has since married the detective, and that O’Reilly is in the midst of a scorched-earth custody battle—dubbed, appropriately enough, Anonymous v. Anonymous—over the ex-couple’s two children. It involves a surreptitious attempt by O’Reilly to undermine his custody arrangement by hiring, as a member of his household staff, the woman he and his ex had agreed on as a neutral arbiter of their disputes. It also involves O’Reilly’s attempts to annul his marriage and have McPhilmy potentially booted from the Catholic Church.
After you examine Mother Jones' evidence please let us know if it's credible.
Meanwhile Gawker has learned that McPhilmy has been formally reprimanded in writing by her church for continuing to take communion in her Long Island parish despite having been divorced and remarried.
The reprimand also instructed her to stop telling her children that her second marriage, to the Nassau County detective that O'Reilly allegedly tried to destroy, is valid in the eyes of God. It warned her that if she didn't comply, harsher measures may be in order.
O'Reilly, who interviewed Timothy Cardinal Dolan for Fox News last year, donated more than $65,000 to New York Catholic parishes and schools in 2011, according to the tax return of his nonprofit foundation, and he carries considerable weight in the archdiocese.
Gawker claims O'Reilly is now busy harassing McPhilmy about the holiness of her second marriage, whilst he tries to deny the existence of his first. According to the website he is seeking an annulment of his 15-year marriage, which produced two children. That would render it invalid in the eyes of God, as though it never happened, even though it produced two children.
O'Reilly's private actions contrast starkly with his public claims in support of the 'stability' heterosexual marriage brings to the culture and his concern about the declining marriage rates in countries that allow gay people to marry one another.
if Gawker says it gets dark when the sun goes down I’d have to look outside to make sure.
The report was compiled from open court records.
BOR’s open tonight was this issue.
He produced memos from 1982 about his coverage of the Falkland War from Argentina and Uruguay.
He also showed the deed to his parents’ house to counter Al Franken’s oft quoted lie from years ago that BOR did not come from Levittown.
Bernie Goldberg and Geraldo Rivera were on after the Talking Points segment to state that they thought this David Corn Mother Earth article was a response to Brian Williams being taken down.
Geraldo will be on in another segment becasue of the heat GR is taking for saying hip and hop and rap music is hurting minority kids.
According to Gawker?
This really could end up being fantastic news. If it appears news people are exaggerating war time then perhaps it is time to stop sending them. Let the military journalist send stories about what is going on. That would help so much when we are at war. Journalist just write about negative junk anyway. I hope they all are found to exaggerate and no need for them anymore.
OHHHHH I remember that Hard Copy they are one that brought Jacko case in 1990s they interview one of the witneses that how yenta Jane Velez Mitchell got her big break
BOR explained his case. presented documented proof of where he was during the Falkland War. He didn’t confabulate anything. I wouldn’t use Mother Jones to wipe my ass.
I’m no O’Reilly fan, but David Corn is a POS.
