(ANTIMEDIA) Goodnight Bill, your long and tyrannical reign at the head of the corporate propaganda machine is coming to an ugly end. Your career is over. For years you tortured us with your opinions, bigotry, anger, rudeness, downright idiocy and overall assholedom — but it seems like your big mouth has landed you in hot water this time — and I’m really enjoying watching you burn. It’s truly sad that it took this long for people to take your bullshit for what it is, but rest assured the end is near. Those not familiar with you, Bill O’Reilly, you poor excuse for a journalist and human being — let’s see if we can briefly paint a picture for them. According to Mother Jones, you have been lying about some stories you’ve been telling the public for years, very much in the same way your peer Brian Williams did. Since the initial story about your lies went viral, Bill, things got a lot worse for you — our kind propagandist. Another former colleague of yours has stepped forward, reinforcing Mother Jones’ accusations, making it even harder for you to get out from under this unwanted attention. That must’ve hurt a lot. So you lie, Bill O’Reilly, just like Brian Williams and the majority of other actors who read news scripts do. But you are also a sex offender who hasn’t been arrested yet, we can’t forget about that. From The Anti-Media, “On October 13, 2004 O’Reilly was sued in a sexual harassment lawsuit for $60,000,000 by his former producer named Andrea Mackris. Mackris was an employee of Fox from 2000, with lawsuit documents showing O’Reilly’s rabid sexual harassment began in May 2002 and continued until September 2004. Mackris filed a wild document full of O’Reilly’s exploits. The fallout was immense, with O’Reilly counter-suing Mackris for extortion before finally settling the lawsuit for an untold amount of money that is generally believed to have been in the millions of dollars.” Read the full in-depth report here. You’re also an asshole. And a war monger. You believe in the War On Drugs and you’re an active drug warrior. You don’t like activists or police accountability. Calling you a raging prick would be an understatement. So you see, it’s not just that you are full of shit, Bill, you’re also a dangerous propagandist that influences the minds of old (the median age of people who watch The O’Reilly Factor is 72 years old) Republicans everywhere. You should be rotting in a prison cell for your treatment of women and the countless lives lost thanks to your war propaganda. I’m hoping that this is the last we see of you on Television or anywhere else. You should face the same fate as Brian Williams — who you yourself derided for lying to the public. Goodbye Bill O’Reilly, you won’t be missed. And even if you are not fired, everyone — even your own brainwashed elderly viewers — will forever know that you are a liar.

Man, what a video! I've never seen that one before. Hilarious!
I was looking for evidence of lies or deliberate distortions. Opinions, everyone has them. Everybody that gives them voice will have enemies. I really don't care for BOR but this seems to be a hit piece designed to take the heat off of MSM that deliberately state falsehoods to make themselves look better and take the focus away from what is true. Sitting in a bar yesterday CNN was running a ticker with the question "What does ISIS really want from us?" As if the answer "We want you to die or convert" is unbelievable. THAT is the #1 question of the day. With a quick follow up "Why don't our President and political leaders of the day believe this and act accordingly"?
I enjoyed his show. I didn't agree with everything he said... but he was a Hell of a lot better than Rachel Maddow and the like.

BOR is getting attacked for his alleged embellishments of being a war correspondent during the Falklands and one other Central American country whose name I can't recall at the moment. Being an opinion guy, I suppose he gets more leeway than being the standard news reader. It's all a sideshow to me, like the bearded woman.
For the original David Corn article: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/02/bill-oreilly-brian-williams-falklands-war The Fox News host has said he was in a "war zone" that apparently no American correspondent reached. —By David Corn and Daniel Schulman 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. [snip]
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/02/david-corn-response-oreilly-falklands The Fox News host still hasn't gotten back to us, but here's his monologue—factchecked. —By David Corn On Thursday, Mother Jones published an article by Daniel Schulman and me documenting how Fox News host Bill O'Reilly has mischaracterized his wartime reporting experience. It noted that he has repeatedly stated that during his short stint as a CBS correspondent in the 1980s, he was in the "war zone" during the Falklands war between the United Kingdom and Argentina in 1982. He once claimed he had heroically rescued his cameraman in "a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands," while being chased by army soldiers. Yet no American journalist reached the war zone in the Falkland Islands during this conflict. O'Reilly and his colleagues covered the war from Buenos Aires, which was 1,200 miles from the fighting. O'Reilly responded to the story by launching a slew of personal invective. He did not respond to the details of the story. Instead, he called me a "liar," a "left-wing assassin," and a "despicable guttersnipe." He said that I deserve "to be in the kill zone." (You can read one of my responses here.) And in his show-opening "Talking Points memo" monologue on Friday evening, he continued the name-calling. In a way, it's impossible to win a debate with O'Reilly because he is not bound by reality. In response to the article, he told Fox News' media reporter, Howard Kurtz, "Nobody was on the Falklands and I never said I was on the island, ever." Yet our article included video of O'Reilly saying in 2013, "I was in a situation one time, in a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands, where my photographer got run down and then hit his head and was bleeding from the ear on the concrete. And the army was chasing us." Note the words "war zone" and "in the Falklands." [snip] http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/02/questions-bill-oreilly-falklands-david-corn Why won't the Fox News host address the evidence he mischaracterized his wartime reporting experience? —By David Corn On Thursday, Mother Jones published an article by Daniel Schulman and me that documented how Fox News host Bill O'Reilly has mischaracterized his wartime reporting experience. Most notably, he has more than once said that during his short stint as a CBS correspondent in the 1980s, he was in the "war zone" during the Falklands war between the United Kingdom and Argentina in 1982. He even once told the story of heroically rescuing his cameraman in this "war zone" while being chased by army soldiers. Yet according to O'Reilly's former CBS colleagues in Argentina and other journalists there during the war, no American journalist reached the war zone in the Falkland Islands and other territories iin the southern Atlantic Ocean during this conflict. O'Reilly and his colleagues covered the war from Buenos Aires, which was 1200 miles from the fighting. Mother Jones sent O'Reilly and Fox News a detailed list of questions at 8:30 am on Thursday. We asked for a response by 3:00 pm. We then called Dana Klinghoffer, a spokeswoman for the network, several times to make sure the questions were received and to determine if O'Reilly and Fox would respond. She never took the call or returned the message. Shortly before 3:00 pm, we sent an email containing the questions to Bill Shine, a top exec at Fox News, saying that if O'Reilly and Fox needed more time, we would try to accommodate them. He, too, never responded. At 5:26 p.m., we posted the article. Immediately afterward, O'Reilly granted interviews to multiple reporters. He resorted to name-calling, saying I was a "liar," a "left-wing assassin,"and a "despicable guttersnipe." He said that I deserve "to be in the kill zone." (You can read one of my responses here.) It was clear that O'Reilly had no interest in answering the actual questions about his wartime reporting claims. Here, for the record, are the questions we sent to Fox. (We included links to his past assertions to make it easy for O'Reilly to review what he said.) Will he answer these questions? [snip]
Before he infested Fox News, O'Drunkard pig shit Irishman O'Blowhard O'Reilly was a reporter for ''Inside Edition''. He once made a report that Rollin' Stones Mick Jagger ''murdered'' guitarist Brian Jones in July, 1969--- a complete bullshit story that he refused to retract and withdraw. Since learning of that whopper of a lie, I haven't believed much of what O'Pigshit has claimed. You have to understand Irish pig shit's upbringing---dad was a new yuck porker pig cop. Bill the blooper never served in the military. He never questioned the war on terror's conduct and strategy until 2 months ago and tries to paint the false appearance that only Obama has screwed the war and foreign policy up. I do enjoy ''Water's World'' with all the idiots he's interviews in California and New York. That is funny. O'Reilly tries to deny that he is painting the false appearance that he is a moderate. One thing for sure---O'Reilly is a drunk, O'Reilly is an obnoxious asshole, O'Reilly is a liar and hypocrite. His books suck
It was probably the British army wanting to beat his ass for him being critical of them.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
You do know this is old news. O'Reilly talked about this years ago.
"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (1 Timothy 6:6-7)
His show is not in jeopardy. This is old news. This is from Mother Jones.
"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (1 Timothy 6:6-7)
You harangued me the couple of time I posted an article from Mother Jones. You now give new meaning to the word hypocrite with the way you pretend to hold certain beliefs about what you determine is right and then behave in this manner to completely disagree with those beliefs.
Blow it out your ass, Gatslime. The only hypocrite is O'Reilly lying about being under fire in a war zone while criticizing someone else for doing the same thing. This is documented at other sources, so spare us all the faux outrage, you smarmy little prick.
Nope, you are now using Mother Jones as a valuable source for factual information.... You are a HYPOCRTE....in the FIRST ORDER!
This is documented at other sources, so spare us all the faux outrage, you whiny little bitch.
The story originated with Mother Jones, other sources state they recall no incident....which may or may not mean it is not true. The articles I posted from Mother Jones were also confirmed by other sources. yet you condemned me and now try to be sanctimonious. It will not work, you have been exposed.
A Facebook posting by a former CBS News correspondent, however, appears likely to keep the questions flowing toward the O’Reilly camp. An extensive rant by Eric Jon Engberg, who served as a CBS News correspondent for 27 years, calls into question several of O’Reilly’s statements about the reporting — and O’Reilly’s subsequent recollections of it. To establish his bona fides in fact-checking O’Reilly, Engberg notes, “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,” writes Engberg, noting that he and other U.S. correspondents were hundreds of miles away from the battles of the Falkland Islands war, between the United Kingdom and Argentina. For a sample of Engberg’s reporting on the conflict, click here.

If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
I read that Engberg never left the safety of his hotel room during the incident in Argentina. What "eyewitness information" did he provide from his hotel room? O'Reilly made it emphatically clear the incident did not happen in the battle of the Falkland Islands war....it happened in Buenos Aires. I will wait for the eyewitness report by the only person said to be there, the cameraman. You continue to eat up every piece of journalism that says what you want to believe. You have been exposed....again!!!
Neither did O'Reilly. The difference is - O'Reilly is just another lying scumbag MSM flunkie. You have been exposed. The only one "exposed" is O'Reilly as a lying fraud. Most of us knew that even before this story broke.
I will wait for the eyewitness report by the only person said to be there, the cameraman.
Then whet? Call him a liar? The only liars here are O'Reilly. And you. You're not fooling anyone Gatslime - you're a pathetic little man.
Calling you a raging prick would be an understatement.
