Two former CBS reporters have strongly disputed Bill O’Reilly‘s accounts of what happened one night when they covered a riot in Buenos Aires, but on The Factor tonight, O’Reilly brought on a former NBC News bureau chief who backed up his story. Don Browne was the NBC News Miami bureau chief at the time, and he oversaw the network’s Falklands coverage. And Browne told O’Reilly his account was accurate. As opposed to some of the other accounts, which have to some extent downplayed the danger, Browne said the situation “got progressively more intense” and there were demonstrations in Buenos Aires every day. Dan Rather in 1982 CBS Report: TV Crew Members ‘Knocked to the Ground’ in Riots Where O’Reilly Was. Both O’Reilly and Browne recalled a “very intense situation where people got hurt” and how “this was an extremely violent and volatile situation” where reporters were in danger. O’Reilly also spoke with Mediaite’s own Joe Concha, who wrote a column this week questioning the motivations of O’Reilly’s attackers. Concha told O’Reilly that Mother Jones is in the business of throwing red meat to progressives, and beyond that, the story isn’t making much headway anyway.

But a "war riot" is not a war zone because it lacks two organized and trained armies. O'Reilly was not in a war zone. He was in a riot. That said, this is a tempest in a teapot compared to all the lies various media figures and pols peddle on a regular basis. Like the new VA head lying about being in special forces to a homeless vet a few days ago which seem much worse because that happened this week, not 30 years ago in a minor war lost by Argentina.
I read that, it was disappointing.
What's even worse is the VA's bureaucratic overreaction to its new 'Choice Card' program, where any vet who lives over 40 miles from a VA facility, can go to his local facility for health care.. For some strange reason, the VA bureaucracy is fighting this program, tooth and nail.. I got my card almost six weeks ago, and still cannot sign up at my local hospital.
I can only assume you are being sarcastic. You know quite well why they are resisting which appears to be the most real work their top staffers have done in years.
For some strange reason, the VA bureaucracy is fighting this program, tooth and nail. No, I really can't imagine why they are resisting a opportunity to reduce the patient load on their facilities. What's your take? Simple stupidity?
Absolute control over veteran health services is the key to their cushy sinecures at the VA. They can and will fight tooth and nail to keep that monopoly and they don't care how many vets have to die. I would say they are quite willing to let vets die if they can try to cook up some scandal to maintain their stranglehold on veteran medical care.
Here's an article about the 'choice' program..
Doesn't change a thing. O'Reilly is a liar and more importantly the biggest asshole on TV. It astounds me that conservatives are unapologetic fanboys for this ass-clown.
Really? With sooo many to choose from, hes the biggest asshole? Wow. And BTW, I am banned from sending him anything, he once called for a heckler of Bush senior to be thrown in jail, and I blasted him. So, no, I'm not a fan of his.
Truth never change anything for you...
Yup. In the grand tradition of mafia mob families, the "honor" of disgraced NBC anchor chess piece Brian Williams had the be avenged by the lib NBC. So who was the "hit" going to be on? 0'Bloviator, naturally. Except as you note his degree "scandal" pales in comparison to Williams'...and that of just about any liberal media shill or pol.
You're being sarcastic, right? We all know all vets are on the gubmint hit-list. Vets are considered one of the "bitter clingers," patriots who are a danger to the regime. Didn't you get DHS Nappy's memo years ago?
Shoulda scrolled down...
Granted, 0'blowhard is a huge anus and jerk. However, I'm not going to help the vultures of Leftist MSM snipe at ANY body who's on their hit-list. Including this jackazz. I'd rather something like this PO's the leprechaun, finally shoving him off the fence and into the conservative camp.
Asking O’Reilly where he was in 1982, never mind what he was doing, is grossly unfair. He's a human Bunsen burner complete with a blinking red nose.
Wow. Hear ya. Not that we like 0'Bloward...But let's face it -- there are a list of Leftist a-holes in the media that make him seem like Mr. Rogers. BTW, I am banned from sending him anything, he once called for a heckler of Bush senior to be thrown in jail, and I blasted him. So, no, I'm not a fan of his. Way to go. BO can be a fascist and a p*ssy (when interviewing 0bunghole, etal.) He's heard from me too, but your email must have been...REALLY effective, lol.
Digging up something that happened in 1982 is unfair, and ridiculous, and irrelevant -- but that's what the Left does best: rummage through dumpsters garbage cans. Why don't they rummage through 0bunga's, Bigfoot'ss, or Olbermann's closet and basement?? (that'd be one scary rummage.)
Who is lying?
I can't answer you because Stone has me on Introductory status, which limits me to 5 posts per day.
You still could have responded within THIS post, though. Nonetheless, welcome, Percy. I liked the Bunsen burner/blinking red-nose crack to describe the leprechaun :-)
Ut sounds to me like you don't look for facts and cherry pick information to support you belief.
Nah!!!
Really? With sooo many to choose from, hes the biggest asshole? I narrowed it down to him and Bill Maher so I flipped a coin.
Not a chance of that happening.
Wars are fought with bullets and armored vehicles, possibly aircraft. Not with rubber bullets and tear gas. Those are riots. Or are you guys just trying not to let the other have the last word?
Yes, those were riots. There has been any disagreement on this that I have seen.
No, there isn't is there? The Leprechaun is owned. (who's he "looking out for" again? "The folks"?? Bwaaahaa!!
Both O’Reilly and Browne recalled a “very intense situation where people got hurt” and how “this was an extremely violent and volatile situation” where reporters were in danger.

Hey, provocateur, your efforts to try and provoke trouble and cause dissention has failed again. Look at what your buddy, Engberg, had to truthfully say back then: An Engberg report, also released by CBS on Monday, said police fired guns with tear gas and plastic bullets. He said in the report it was unknown how many people were hurt but at least some were seriously injured.
Your new found friend, Engberg, said things never got that hot in Buenos Aires. When he thought he had a chance to throw O’Reilly under the bus, he sees fit to call the riots “tame”….Engberg now says “it was the chummiest riot anyone had ever covered.” What a bunch of hypocrites you and your ilk are.

Don Browne, a former NBC News bureau chief who oversaw coverage of Latin America, who said there were tanks on the streets of the Argentine capital. “It was a real country at war,” Mr. Browne said. “It was a very intense situation where people got hurt.”

O'Reilly is a liar ...
An Associated Press account of the demonstration said that police officers charged a group of about 50 journalists, beating some and trampling others.

It astounds me that ,,,

Is O’Reilly in trouble? O'Reilly, unlike NBC's Brian Williams and his"Chinookgate" and Katrina woes, is likely untouchable on this one and will skate. One, "Mother Jones," CNN and CBS are known to O'Reilly partisans to be left of bad-old-days "Pravda."
