Rob O’Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claims that he fired the weapon which killed Osama Bin Laden, has been hired as an on-air analyst by Fox News Channel. The conservative cable news outlet which aired a two hour profile called “The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden” on O’Neill in November, will utilize O’Neill as a “military expert” on multiple shows which broadcast on the station.
Despite multiple reports — including one by Fox News — that Osama Bin Laden died prior to the 2011 raid, the ex-SEAL has continually repeated that he delivered the head shots which killed the former Al-Qaeda leader. O’Neill’s story also landed him in the middle of a U.S. Naval criminal investigation for publicly discussing classified material.
Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said about the new addition to the Fox team,
“Rob O’Neill is an American hero who dedicated his life to serving our country and protecting our freedoms. It’s incredibly rare to have someone in a television contributor role with his leadership experience and expertise at the fighting unit level. His military insight will be a major asset to the network and we are honored to have him.”
Multiple service men, including members of SEAL Team Six have stated that O’Neill is a liar in regards to his personal tale surrounding the raid on the Pakistani compound.
No matter your thoughts surrounding the death of Bin Laden, one thing is for certain. Amid the recent scandals involving Bill O’Reilly and Brian Williams, it’s probably not the wisest idea to hire someone who has been publicly blasted as a liar to relay information to the public.
