You also skip over that he expressly said he was “in a war zone.”  The war was OVER when the incident happened. Even Frank Sesno, who was present in Buenos Aires at the same time, said that calling Buenos Aires a “war zone” was misleading.

"Sesno, who said he was also covering the Falkland Islands war from Argentina at the time, made it clear, “That wasn’t a war zone,” and suggested that to describe it as such is misleading."

 Nor was the army chasing him.

I hate to bust your heroes like Governor Perry and O'Reilly, but really you need some new heroes. But I will concede your point - OReilly didn't ALWAYS lie.

Jack, maybe doing public relations defense work is not the best field for you.  
 

I will agree to a certain point that O'Reilly, Limbaugh, and Hannity, and their left wing counterparts are held to a lower standard than actual new reporters like that POS Williams who rivaled Al Gore for self serving exaggerations and outright lies.

That said, there still need to be at least some standards, and even the likes of political "pundints" should have some accountability to the truth. I have no idea about O'Reilly's guilt or innocence on this, and I have learned enough over the years NOT to simply take Mari's word for it, so "IF" he is proved to be a liar, IMO there should be some consequences, but I have to agree with BPS, it's not like he is a "real" reporter any more than I now believe that Mari is a "real" lawyer. lol

Address the media immediatley, do 5 or 6 interviews, answer the questions, address it on your show, produce the documents.

Maybe this will give Brian Williams the courage to do the same? LOL

Not likely. His daughter, in an interview yesterday, has answered more questions about the scandal then he has. In fact, I have answered the same amount of questions in the media as Brian Williams has. LOL

No worries. I am sure Bri is just waiting for "The View" to call so he can answer all their hard questions. Just give him a few months so he can get ALL the lies straight. LOL

Reminds me of you! ;)

What constitutes a war zone? O'Reilly is straining at gnats, and only some on the far right are buying. David Corn raised a series of question for O'Reilly, because of what he and others have said about his remarks and experiences regarding war zones seemed inconsistent. That's called investigative reporting. Part of the investigative reporting involved Corn giving O'Reilly the opportunity to address those inconsistencies, and even offered to postpone his story if O'Reilly needed more time before filing his report. O'Reilly did not respond, nor did anyone else, who David Corn address at FOX News. Of course he's under no compunction to do so, however if he really was interested in avoiding any misconceptions, regarding any issues the questions might bring up, he would have. And, he still hasn't address some of the other questions Corn posed to him, like other areas of combat such as El Salvador and Northern Ireland. No, he's quite satisfied with behaving like a thin-skinned narcissist, whaling about how he's being smeared, and a target of the far left media, and name calling.  Why, because it makes for good theater, and good theater makes for higher ratings!  However, pursuing ratings can get in the way of the truth. Just ask the staffers at the Tea Party News Network. I sincerely salute them, and hope they find new and rewarding jobs very soon.

The Left saw Williams go down so they tried to get their scalp. No sense of fairness or balance by the HuffyPoo or any of the other ones you name. Waiting for all the facts just isnt their thing. LOL

Reminds me so much of Dan Rather, Fergsuon, Michael Moore, Duke Lacrosse, Trayvon, etc etc. Libs leaping to conclusions is nothing new.  

I'll give ABC and CBS and a few others some credit here. They realized who Corn is and new he was fired from Fox and appears on MSNBC often so they smartly held back, knowing full well this POS story could be tinged with personal animosity, jealousy and retribution.

Maybe at least that part of the Lib media is finally learning its lesson? Only time will tell

meaning of his use of the acronym ISIS, I find it comical that you apparently are willing to apply a different standard to Oreilly whose only defense to his literal words is that "war zone" is "shorthand" for phoning in his reports from the Buenos Aires Hilton.

“In addition, Engberg calls into question O’Reilly’s claim that he was "was out there pretty much by myself because the other CBS News correspondents were hiding in the hotel."
“If he said such thing it is an absolute lie,” Engberg writes.”

 
        This guy, who was actually present, also describes the Oreilly “war zone” as an “expense account zone.” LOL

 
     More “dishonest reporting” Ed? More left wing garbage? It's like the Perry indictment - just political, right?

Or….drum roll… the facts

Sounds like the words of one who's...

'got nothin!'

Give it a rest! You're not convincing anyone of your intellectual or moral superiority!  

I quoted precisely what OReilly said on the air on April 17, 2013 and listed four statements that were untrue. OReilly has  effectively ADMITTED  that these statements were untrue- he ADMITTED he was not and never was in the Falklands, he has admitted that he was not in the Falklands “war zone,” he has effectively admitted that the Falklands War was over when he made his statements, and he has effectively admitted that the army was not “chasing” him and his cameraman.

         Whether the injury to the cameraman was true or false is still unknown but the circumstantial evidence I listed in my post to Ed would lead any reasonable person to conclude this was a lie as well.

      I was not "duped" by Corn. I picked only the statements that were undisputedly false. I didn’t address whether I believed the many other lies alleged by Corn was indeed lies and I conceded your point that OReilly did not ALWAYS lie about reporting from the “war zone.”

       Now if Corn transcribed the broadcast incorrectly, or if OReilly later in the SAME BROADCAST clarified his earlier erroneous statements, I will give him a pass – but you haven’t made either argument, have you?

       The Duke-Carolina game was a “war” Jack but that doesn’t mean the reporters were reporting from a war zone. To even attempt to justify civil unrest as a “war” is downright pathetic, almost as pathetic as his threat today toward a New York Times Reporter.

       If you want to try and defend a public liar, that is your business but next time pick someone who hasn’t already admitted that he did not tell the truth
