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.

O’Reilly’s only “war zone” encounters were with his ex-wife Maureen when she called the bastard out on his many affairs with female “colleagues”.

Thank God she got out of a horrible marriage and took the old creepy bastard for large sums of money!

BOR was on Media Buzz this afternoon and claimed that all who accused him of lying are liars and otherwise filthy disgusting vermin. I may be paraphrasing a bit here. Regardless BOR won’t take this lying down and it could be fun to watch unfold.

There are documented court documents about his divorce and custody battle which show him to be a corrupt lecher.
