Bill O'Reilly and the Falklands War

[jimbob]

Interesting interview, with a little regrettable allusion to a cute pseudoscientific claim about look up whenever one lies. Ah, well.

As an outsider it looks as though there is a reliable tell to indicate when O'Reilly is lying - his lips move.

 

[crescent]

...I don't see them backing down.

Me neither. He can't let fact checkers get in the way of a good show.

His audience does not care about any objective truth. They like him, they support him. This has apparently been quite good for his ratings.

 

[Trebuchet]

I expect O'Reilly will be put on a 6 month suspension any day now.

Seriously? If anything, they'll give him a raise. Lying is, after all, what they PAY him to do.

No, not seriously. I was facetiously referencing what happened to Brian Williams.

I just found this recording of O'Reilly hearing for the first time about the suicide in Florida by phone, and stating that he intended to get a car and travel to Florida. It puts the lie to his claim that he was outside the door when he heard the shotgun blast.

The O'Reilly tapes: Phone recordings raise new questions about JFK story - Mar. 1, 2015

In his 2012 book "Killing Kennedy," O'Reilly wrote that he knocked on the door of a South Florida home when suddenly he "heard the shotgun blast that marked the suicide" of George de Mohrenschildt, a Russian immigrant who knew Lee Harvey Oswald.

You don't understand. He didn't say he was actually there. What he said is that he was shown pictures of the mailman knocking at the door when the man shot himself inside, you far-left zealot liar stinko poopy-pants ninny. Oh, and pinhead too.

Yes, that's pretty much a smoking gun. It is impossible at this point to defend him, so I expect Fox will just continue to ignore the evidence and maintain silence.

 

[marplots]

Well, there's one thing they'll never take away from Bill. The Medal of Freedom he won when he fought off those ninjas at Buzz Aldrin's beach party. I notice no one in the loud-mouthed liberal media is even bringing that up. Cause they're COWARDS!

Have you fought off ninjas, Al Franken? No, I didn't think so.

 

[Checkmite]

What do you people have against Bill O'Freedom? What is your real agenda in this thread?

^This. Nothing will come of it. He could claim he was there to witness JFK's assassination and Fox wouldn't suspend him.

Or the Peabody Award that he claimed that he'd won, but hadn't.

Can anyone recall the C-Span exchange between Bill and Al Franken over that Peabody Award That Never Was? It was hysterical (in several senses of the word).

 

[Cain]

No one can deny that O'Reilly bravely witnessed footage of nuns getting gunned down. It's all just semantic wanking by the guttersnipes on the left.

Behold! 9 minutes and 20 seconds of Bill's smack-down.

 

[Upchurch]

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! to learn things said on Fox News might not be true!

 

[hgc]

Behold! 9 minutes and 20 seconds of Bill's smack-down.

O'Reilly: "I misspoke, and called a Polk a Peabody."

Let me try some more:

"I misspoke, and called seeing pictures of dead nuns 'guys shooting nuns.'"

"I misspoke, and called hearing about a guy shooting himself 'knocking on a guy's door when he shot himself.'"

"I misspoke, and called seeing pictures of bombing aftermath in Belfast 'seeing bombings in Belfast.'"

It's so easy, this misspeaking thing.

 

[madurobob]

O'Reilly: "I misspoke, and called a Polk a Peabody."

"I misspoke and said I never called a Polk a Peabody and that nobody could possibly have a transcript of such a thing"

 

[marplots]

Bill's a hero, an American icon. He doesn't operate under the same rules we schlubs have to. His is a higher calling - sticking it to the libtards, layabouts, and losers.

Remember when Rowdy Roddy Piper smacked the Iron Sheik with that wooden crutch? Sure it was uncalled for, and if the ref had enforced the rules, Piper would have been disqualified. But Piper is only human. One man, fighting the good fight against impossible odds. Like that.

"No taint on a saint," I say. No taint on a saint.

I'm a fathead, not a pinhead.

The only defense I can imagine is that someone faked the tapes, but that seems impossible given their provenance.
